Hello Paul,

I've heard back from Elections Canada www.elections.ca about obtaining maps of 
the four electoral districts that we are concerned with: Kitchener Centre, 
Kitchener-Waterloo, Kitchener-Conestoga and Cambridge.

The best hard-copy maps come in sets for each electoral district.  They 
include, as I understand, individual maps of each polling division within a 
given electoral district that are highly detailed with roads, streets etc.  The 
cost for each complete set for each electoral district is $15.00 plus tax, 
bringing the cost to $60.00 plus tax for all four districts.

Within the context of having some sort of headquarters, I believe these maps 
would be essential to the effectiveness of our campaign.  Canvassers and 
distribution of literature could be strategically allocated, dispatched and 
recorded.

I, personally, am willing to bear the the cost of purchasing a set of maps for 
one electoral district.  Anyone else?

I am not aware that these maps are available electronically.  I, also, will be 
on the lookout for potential headquarters sites.

Peace

Rick
