Potential issues

  • development and urban sprawl
  • protection of the Oak Ridges Moraine
  • waste management
  • Changes to ward boundaries

    The boundaries for all six Richmond Hill wards changed on December 1, 2006. Although the boundary changes did not officially take place until shortly after the election, voters cast their ballots for Local Councillor based upon the following new boundaries:

  • Richmond Hill - All Wards

  • Richmond Hill - Ward 2
  • Richmond Hill - Ward 3
  • Richmond Hill - Ward 4
  • Richmond Hill - Ward 5
