Ward 9

In 2023, the Municipal Wards Commission established new ward boundaries, which will take effect with the 2024 civic election.

Under The Cities Act, each ward must meet legislated population variance requirements. Population statistics showed the populations of Ward 2 were below the variation limit and Ward 7 exceeded the limit.

As such, the Municipal Wards Commission sought input from citizens in two phases, presenting three options in the initial phase and two revised options in the second phase. After careful consideration, the Commission made a decision to alter ward boundaries based on feedback received, legislated population requirements, community connections and interactions, and the integrity of neighbourhood boundaries.

The Commission selected Option A and presented its decision to City Council on Wednesday, November 22, 2023. New ward boundaries incorporate the following changes from existing ward boundaries:

Confederation Urban Centre, currently Ward 3, moves to join Ward 2
South Nutana Park, currently Ward 7, moves to join Ward 9

The new ward boundaries will take effect with the 2024 municipal and school board elections on November 13, 2024.
