provincial ridingsThe Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce isn’t a fan of proposed provincial riding realignments that would see western Abbotsford south of the freeway merge with Aldergrove and north of the freeway with Fort Langley.

Chamber executive director Allan Asaph says having some of the ridings in Metro Vancouver and some not would create conflicting priorities for elected MLAs.

“Langley is part of Translink, Abbotsford is not. In addition, you’ve got different school districts involved, you have different police forces.”

Asaph says having Aldergrove join with Abbotsford west, while still splitting Aldergrove off from the rest of Langley, is a better solution for the majority in the area.
