Ramara is reviewing its ward boundaries and is looking for the public’s input.
Officials want to determine effective and equitable electoral ward boundaries for the 2022 municipal election and beyond.
The boundaries were last reviewed in 1994 when Mara and Rama were amalgamated to create Ramara.
Since then Ramara’s population has grown so the review will ensure its ward boundaries continue to provide equal representation for all residents.
The First Public Consultation period runs from January 11th to February 1st and will include virtual public meeting sessions.
Te first happens Wednesday, January 20th from 9:30 am to 11 am, the second happens Wednesday, January 27th from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.
Residents can register for one of the two community information sessions and fill out a survey by clicking here

Residents can also send suggestions and feedback to wardboundaryreview@ramara.ca or to the Township’s clerk’s department by mail. Remember to address letters to Ward Boundary Review and mail to POBox 130 Ramara ON LOK 1BO.
The results of the consultation and technical analysis conducted by StrategyCorp who is conducting the review on behalf of the council and will be used to prepare alternate ward boundary options.
In early spring, there’ll be a second round of consultations where the public will be provided with draft boundary options for comments and feedback.
Once the consultation is complete, the consultant will provide recommendations on future ward boundaries.
Ramara’s Council will then decide if and how to implement the report’s recommendations.
