We are reviewing Guelph’s Council composition and ward boundaries to understand if our Council and wards are effective, equitable and an accurate reflection of who lives here. This review will have a lasting impact on how you’re represented at the municipal level, now and into the future.

In this last phase of engagement, we need your help to review four ward boundary options and the suggested council composition for each. Engagement is open from April 6 to April 20.

You are in the right place because everything you need to participate in this project can be found on this project web page.

Phase 2: CLOSED - Current ward boundary issues

over 3 years

Take a look at the map of Guelph's ward boundaries as they have been drawn since 1991.

Set aside politics and councillors and think about the principle of effective representation. 

Where on this map are there issues that need to be addressed when re-drawing ward boundaries in Guelph in 2021? What specific physical/geographic features do we need be aware of? Where are the communities of interest/neighbourhoods located?
