Update (December 9, 2024) At a Council Workshop, City staff presented Council with results of the public engagement on ward boundary realignment options, including:
- Option One was the most preferred, receiving 52 per cent of the vote (192)
- Option Two received 30 percent of the vote (110)
- "Effective representation" was voted as the most important criteria (120)
Next steps include Council consideration of the results in early 2025. If Council approves the preferred option, ward boundaries will be adjusted in time for the next municipal election in 2026.
_______________
The City of Brampton is conducting a ward boundary review. A ward is a geographical division of a city for administrative and political purposes. The current wards in the City of Brampton were established in 2014. Since then, the city has experienced a significant growth in population and some areas of the city have seen more growth than others.
This review aims to establish fair and equitable wards, with better representation of the citizens at the Council table. The review uses the principles of representation by population, future population trends, physical and natural boundaries, and recognition of communities of interest to evaluate the existing ward structure and alternative options.
There are two (2) boundary realignment options. You can view them on the
realignment options page.
