CALGARY -- The City of Calgary is seeking public input on the potential redrawing of ward boundaries in an effort to ensure each councillor represents a similar number of constituents ahead of the 2021 general election.

"A ward boundary review is done to equalize the population as best as were able and subject to the policy council has passed," explained Laura Kennedy, City of Calgary returning officer. "Cities grow, as we know, people move to areas where they can afford to live and because of that we have to adjust, and we have to adjust before the next election."

There are currently significant population deviations in:

  • Ward 3 (deviation of -22.9)
  • Ward 7 (-15.9)
  • Ward 12  (+20.0)

To balance the deviations, the city has proposed two scenarios for redrawing ward boundaries. To review maps of the proposed scenarios, to see a list of scheduled open house dates regarding the proposals and to submit your feedback visit City of Calgary – Ward Boundary Review
