Establishment of wards

How Wrenford's six wards are drawn, reviewed every four years, and how your local councillor is elected.

Why wards exist

Wrenford is divided into six wards. Each ward elects one councillor to represent it on City Council. The mayor is elected by all residents city-wide. This setup makes sure every neighbourhood has a voice in how the city is run.

How boundaries are set

Ontario law requires us to keep ward lines up to date. We follow the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 and the Municipal Act, 2001. Every four years, after the general election, an independent Ward Boundary Review Board is appointed. Their job is to look at the latest population numbers and redraw the lines so each councillor represents roughly the same number of residents.

Current ward structure

The current six-ward system was put in place in 2018. The board made small adjustments after the 2022 review to account for growth in new neighbourhoods like Wildrye and the expanding areas around Ambrel Lake. The next boundary review will happen after the October 2026 municipal election. The final report will be published in early 2027.

Where to find the maps

You can view the official ward maps at Maps or pick up a printed copy at any time at the service counter in Wrenford City Hall. If you are unsure which ward you live in, the interactive map on our website will tell you your councillor's name and contact details.

Need to speak with your representative?

Each councillor has a dedicated ward newsletter and a direct email line. You can reach out to discuss local issues, ask about upcoming projects, or simply say hello.
