Contact(s)

The Municipality of North Perth has engaged Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. and Dr. Robert J. Williams to conduct a comprehensive and independent review of its Council composition and ward boundaries. This review is being undertaken to ensure an effective and equitable system of representation in advance of the 2026 municipal election. 

This review will be undertaken in two phases:

  • Phase one will focus on Council composition, which refers to the number of Councillors and the method of election (in ward or at-large).
  • Phase two will focus on a review of ward boundaries.

The attached map shows each of the three wards in North Perth: Elma, Listowel and Wallace.  If you are unsure of what ward you are in, you can use the interactive map. Type your address into the address bar on the top left hand side of the map.
