What is a Ward Boundary Review?
The ward boundary review will assess the current boundaries and number of wards to determine if they are appropriate and, if not, will propose alternatives.
New Tecumseth currently has eight wards and a Council structure that consists of 10 members, composed of the Mayor as the Head of Council, Deputy Mayor and eight Councillors (each representing one ward).

How will this review impact me?
A ward boundary change means the lines dividing different neighbourhoods might be redrawn. This can affect which area you vote in and who represents you on New Tecumseth Council. It can also change how many people live in your ward.
