Kanata Ward, split in two main parts. The original Kanata Ward covered all of the former
City of Kanata. The new Kanata North Ward also includes a small part taken from

Communities in the ward include South March, Morgan's Grant, Kanata Lakes, Marchwood, Beaverbrook and Town Centre.
Following the 2020 Ottawa Ward boundary review, the ward will gain a small piece of territory in the South March area to accommodate a proposed housing development.
