Municipal Demarcation Board

Okay kiddo, you know how a city or town is made up of different areas, like neighborhoods or suburbs? Well, sometimes the people in charge of the city or town want to change the boundaries of those areas, like when they want to add more neighborhoods or split a big neighborhood into smaller ones.

That's where the Municipal Demarcation Board comes in. They're a group of grown-up experts who work together to figure out the best way to divide up a city or town into different areas.

They look at things like how many people live in each area, how big the area is, and what services the people in each area need. Then they draw lines on a map to show where the different areas start and end.

It's kind of like coloring inside the lines of a coloring book. Except instead of crayons, they use information and maps to make sure everything is fair and makes sense.

So basically, the Municipal Demarcation Board helps cities and towns decide where to draw the lines between different areas, making sure it's fair and makes sense for everyone who lives there.
