TORONTO (January 1, 1998) - Due to the passage of Ontario's Bill 81, An Act to Reduce the Number of Members of the Legislative Assembly, all of Freedom Party's existing provincial constituencies have been dissolved, effective Jan. 1/98. The bill reduces the number of provincial seats in Ontario from 130 to 103, and makes them coincide with federal riding boundaries and names.

Seventeen Fp constituency associations were dissolved in the process, representing ridings where the party fielded candidates in past provincial elections. Those ridings are as follows: London South, London Centre, London North, Middlesex, Welland- Thorold, Halton Centre, Fort York, Lambton, Elgin, Don Mills, Nepean, Mississauga South, Mississauga East, Scarborough North, Perth, Oxford, and Oakville South.

We wish to thank all of our constituency presidents and candidates, present and past, for their part in helping introduce Freedom Party to their community. Most will be re-registering their associations under new riding names, while other ridings will be joining us for the first time. Watch for developments in upcoming editions of Freedom Flyer.

Readers are again reminded (see previous brief) that we are always looking for constituency association organizers and executive everywhere across Ontario. Call now: 1-800-830-3301 or visit our Feedback page.
