Why ward boundaries are reviewed
Ward boundaries are reviewed every four years to make sure every resident has fair representation. As Wrenford grows and neighbourhoods change, the number of people living in each ward can shift. The Independent Ward Boundary Review Board redraws the lines so that each of our six councillors represents roughly the same number of residents.
How the review works
The review follows a clear, public process that respects the Procedure By-law and provincial election laws. The board does not decide the boundaries on its own. It researches population data, drafts options, asks for your feedback, and presents a final recommendation to Council for approval.
Staff and independent experts look at census data, neighbourhood growth, and natural boundaries like the Tamsin River, Corvid Creek, and major roads. They create a draft map that balances population numbers while keeping communities of interest intact.
Residents are invited to share their thoughts on the draft map. You can submit feedback online, by mail, or in person. The board also holds open virtual meetings so you can ask questions directly to staff and board members.
After reviewing all public input, the board finalizes its recommendation. Council debates the report and votes on whether to adopt the new boundaries before the next municipal election.
