The Electoral Boundaries Commission is looking for feedback.

Chair of the commission, Myra Bielby says they're working to realign the boundaries in such a way that there isn't too wide a swing in population from one to another.

"We're going to try to avoid cutting up any towns, villages or communities, the act gives us certain criteria that we are to follow when making recommendations and trying to honour community boundaries and municipal boundaries are specific criteria that we're to follow," Bielby says. "Now that doesn't mean that we can always avoid splitting up a big county, sometimes it's unavoidable, but were certainly going to avoid splitting up a town."

Bielby says the biggest challenge they ace is the huge influx of people since the last reconfiguration in 2010, more than 800,000.

Highwood is among those that have seen a lot of new residents.

She says this is just their first round of consultations.

"The commission's obliged to come up with a set of draft recommendations, 87 of them, for each constituency in Alberta and we are required to file those with the legislature by May 31," she explained. "They'll then be published on our web site, and I expect on the legislature's web site as well, and we'll then be having a second round of public hearings in late July, early August to get people's feedback on those specific recommendations."

The deadline for written submissions is Wednesday December 8 but if someone wants to change their recommendations based on the new census figures to be released Wednesday by Statistics Canada, they have until February 17.

They have till October 31 to file a final set of recommendations.
