Osgoode Ward (Ward 20) represents the south end of the City of Ottawa and solely made up of residents of the former Osgoode Township. The current city councillor is Doug Thompson.
It contains Greely, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Edwards, Kenmore, Vernon and portions of Manotick.
For the 2006 election, the boundaries will be changing to add much of rural southern Gloucester to the ward. The previous boundary was along the former Osgoode Township line, Mitch Owens Road. The new boundaries follow an uneven line further north adding the communities of Ficko, Limebank and Johnston Corners.
Famous quotes containing the word ward:
“... too much attention is paid to dress by those who have neither the excuse of ample means nor of social claims.... The injury done by this state of things to the morals and the manners of our lower classes is incalculable.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
