Ward 1 Is Home

The lakeside corner of Oakville that Alexandra's family has called home since 2007.

Its parks, trails, waterfront, and the neighbours who bring it all to life. Ward 1 sits on Oakville's western shoreline, where everyday life happens close to the water and neighbours still know each other by name.

A Lakeside Community with Village Character

Bronte Village, the harbour and Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park are the heart of Ward 1. The waterfront can be quiet and windswept in winter and one of the liveliest places in Oakville in summer, with the farmers' market, patios on the pier and concerts at the bandshell.

Parks, Trails & Waterfront

Located adjacent to Shell Park with its sports fields, a dog park, a skateboard park, and lake views. Nearby are South Shell Waterfront Park, Sheldon Creek Trail, and Nautical Park with its splash pad and playground.

Alexandra's family lived in Lakeshore Woods when they first moved to Ward 1 in 2007, before settling in Bronte.

Where Heritage and New Neighbourhoods Meet

Ward 1's growing northern community, where established character and new neighbourhoods meet. The historic village at Bronte Road and Dundas Street is now surrounded by some of Oakville's newest homes, and the Ride On-Demand transit pilot started here.
