This is due to changing demographics and population growth by 2051, and provide better representation for voting

There could be a change coming in how some people in Welland vote.

The city wants to do a ward boundary review, to make sure local representation keeps pace with growth and changing demographics.

The city's population is expected to nearly double by 2051.

The city says it's chosen StrategyCorp Inc, which will analyze where people live, and projected growth through the 2026, 2030 and 2034 elections.

It'll also propose updated boundary options, with public consultation done through online surveys and town halls, information that can be found at city hall.
