London 4060 and Toronto 2311, now together designated as Ontario East, will become part of Eastern Region, which also includes Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Sault Ste Marie 3991, Heyden-Goulais River 4061 and Webbwood 4269, now Ontario West, will become part of a reconfigured Great Lakes Region which will also include the upper portion of Michigan State Aerie and Wisconsin State Aerie.
The change takes effect with the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
Ontario will be the only Provincial Aerie and Michigan the only State Aerie where individual Local Aeries are not assigned entirely to single Regions. All other States and Provinces will be assigned entirely to their respective Regions.
The Ontario Provincial Aerie is currently part of the Eastern Canada Region along with Quebec, a Region that will no longer exist. Quebec Provincial Aerie will become part of New England Region, along with the State Aeries of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts/Rhode Island and Vermont.
In fact, all Canadian Local Aeries will become parts of primarily US-based Regions. British Columbia will be part of Pacific Northwest Region with Alaska, Oregon and Washington. Alberta/Saskatchewan Provincial Aerie will join Idaho, Montana and Wyoming in Mountain Region.
Until the mid-1990s, Ontario East was comprised of Toronto 2311 and the now-defunct Ft Erie Aerie, and was part of New York State Aerie (as were the Quebec Local Aeries). The remaining Ontario Aeries (including at that time London 4060) were Ontario West and were part of Michigan State Aerie. When Ontario and Quebec formed Provincial Aeries the two Provinces were joined as Eastern Canada Region.
