The appellants appealed the City of Ottawa's By-law No. 2021-3, which established new ward boundaries.

The parties reached a settlement proposing modifications to the boundaries between Rideau-Vanier, Capital, and Rideau-Rockcliffe wards.

The Tribunal approved the settlement, finding that the modified boundaries met the test of effective representation by appropriately balancing relative voter parity with natural and physical boundaries, geographic communities of interest, minority interests, and ward history.
