About the Project

The Loyalist Township Council Composition and Ward Boundary Review is underway. The purpose of the ward boundary review is to review the existing electoral arrangements to develop an effective and equitable system of representation. This means we are reviewing Council composition, options for how Council representatives are elected, existing ward boundaries, and whether residents have equitable access to their elected representatives.

The goal of the review is to assess the current Council composition and establish a ward structure that will accommodate growth and population shifts for at least the next three municipal elections.

On October 22, Council heard an overview of the project, the legislative requirements, and the timelines. Watch the presentation.

On February 11, the Consultants provided an Interim Report on the work completed to date, the feedback provided in Phase 1 of the consultation and some proposed options. Watch the meeting here. Extensive public consultations and engagement opportunities took place from February 19-March 9th.

FINAL OPTIONS: The consultants have prepared their final recommendations to present at the April 29, 2025 Special Committee of the Whole scheduled at 6 p.m. The agenda with the final options report can be found on our Civic Web Portal.
