Bruyère-Strathcona Ward
Rideau-Vanier Ward is a ward in the city of Ottawa, designated as Ward 12 and represented on Ottawa City Council. It was originally created in 1994 as a Ward for the Regional Council of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton.
The ward covers the neighbourhoods of Lower Town, Sandy Hill and Vanier, and contains the University of Ottawa and the ByWard Market.
Prior to Ottawa's amalgamation in 2001, the ward covered the entire former city of Vanier as well as Ottawa's Bruyère-Strathcona Ward on regional council. Bruyère-Strathcona was created in 1994 from parts of By-Rideau Ward and St. George's Ward and was initially named Ward 5 until 1995 when it was given the Bruyère-Strathcona name.
By-St. George's Ward covered this area (not including Vanier, which was a separate city) from 1972 to 1980. By-St. George's was created from the merging of By Ward and St. George's Ward, and was abolished when it was split into St. George's Ward and By-Rideau Ward in 1980.
