About the Project

Loyalist Township will be conducting ward boundary review beginning this fall. 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.

The Council composition and ward boundary review will entail extensive public consultations and engagement opportunities for all residents. We’ll be asking you to tell us about your community and provide feedback on the current ward boundaries.

Township Students Ward Boundary Review

On October 16, students from across Loyalist Township joined us for Local Government Week.
