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 Council will consider an Interim Report prepared by external consultants on the work completed to date, the feedback provided in phase 1 of the consultation and some proposed options. Watch the meeting here. Following the meeting, extensive public consultations and engagement opportunities would commence for all residents. We’ll be asking you to tell us about your community and provide feedback on the proposed ward boundary options.
