Kitchener's Journey to Ward Boundary Reform

Kitchener underwent ward boundary reform in time for the 2010 municipal election. They previously had 6 wards. They now have 10. 

Currently, their population sits at 180,527, so the have one councillor per 18,053 residents. 

2 wards sit outside the OMB 25%+ guidelines, while 1 sits outside the 25%- number. 

I've made an enquiry with the Mayor's Office as to what the process was like for them. I'll post the response when it arrives. 


In the meantime, here's an article from The Record leading up to boundary reform.

I'm always interested in feedback, differing opinions, even contrarian blasts...as long as they're delivered with decorum...with panache and flair always helping.
