1. Overview

The MBC reviews applications for municipal boundary changes when there is a disagreement between municipalities about the proposed changes.

Top

2. Guidance

When a municipality wants to change their boundaries, they require a complimentary resolution from the other municipality indicating support for the boundary change.

In the absence of a complementary resolution, the municipalities shall seek mediation to resolve outstanding issues.

For the Northern Saskatchewan Administration District (NSAD):

The MBC has the discretion to decide whether or not a NSAD shall work with a mediator. If a mediator isn't required, the NSAD may have their application reviewed by the MBC without using the mediation process.

3. Eligibility

When a municipality requests a complimentary resolution regarding a proposed boundary change, a dispute arises if within 30 days after a request is made:

  • you receive a certified resolution that opposes the proposed changes;
  • you haven't received a response from the municipality; or
  • you haven't received a response from the municipality advising when they will consider your request.

When a dispute arises, you may apply to the MBC if:

  • you have already received mediation for the issues in dispute within the past year and haven't resolved the issues; and
  • it has been at least one year since a similar application was submitted and rejected by the MBC.
