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:
“If we ever feel discouraged by the apparent constraints on humanity, about its lack of elbowroom and freedom of action, we should think of the Jews and the Greeks, insignificant, powerless, and tiny in the age of the dinosaur empires, yet providing the growing points for the next stage in human destiny.”
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
