Community Survey: Haldimand County Ward Boundary Review
Haldimand County is undertaking a comprehensive review of the municipality’s ward boundaries. A ward boundary review is a task conducted on behalf of a municipality to assess whether the present electoral structure and wards constitute an effective, equitable and democratic system of representation and, if not, to propose alternatives.
