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:
“The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
