When determining where the new ward boundaries should be redrawn, staff considered the following criteria:
- Effective representation - voters should be equally represented to the greatest extent possible
- Representation by population - population numbers should be relatively equal in each ward
- Population trends and growth - ensuring the new boundaries can accommodate planned growth and intensification
- Geographical features, such as natural and built boundaries - ensuring the boundaries follow built or natural boundaries, such as major roads and rivers
- Protection of established neighbourhoods and communities - ensuring areas such as Mount Pleasant or Springdale, for example, are not divided between wards
There are two (2) options for boundary realignment. Both options meet the criteria and are designed to cover the next three (3) municipal election cycles - 2026, 2030 and 2034.
Maps of the realignment options are included below. To view a version of the maps that contain the projected population forecasts for the next three (3) election cycles, click the following links for

Next Steps
Following the public consultation phase, resident feedback will be shared with Council in a Council Workshop. Staff will present a report at Committee of Council in the new year seeking a decision on the next steps. Council may adopt a realignment option with the new ward boundaries taking effect after the next municipal election in October 2026. This may affect where you vote and who you vote for. Be sure to check often for updates on the project.
