Districting Community Workshops
 Local governments use data from the Census to draw district lines to reflect the changing local population demographics.
The City of Ontario is starting the process of moving to a district election format – and the City is asking for your help! We want your input in planning, drawing, and dividing our new City Council districts.
Share your specific thoughts, draw a map, attend an upcoming public hearing or workshop to get involved! We want to hear your stories - tell us what your communities of interest are and give your opinions on draft maps.
