Councillor for Ward 4, Highlands East
Ward 4
Background
Ward 4, Municipality of Highlands East, was historically Monmouth Township, one
of several townships which made up the County of Haliburton. Monmouth Township had its own council which met in Wilberforce. The two major
settlements located in Monmouth Township are Wilberforce and Tory Hill.
Restructuring
In January 2001, the provincial government amalgamated the Townships of
Monmouth, Bicroft, Glamorgan and Cardiff into the Municipality of Highlands
East. Each township became a Ward in the new Municipality. Now each Ward elects
a single representative to council, and the voters in all four Wards vote to
elect a single Reeve, to lead the council.
