Where this comes from
The boundaries are the City of Hamilton’s own ward layer, read on October 8, 2026 (the layer was last edited March 25, 2026). HamiltonIQ measures each ward’s area from that boundary. Who represents a ward comes only from the City of Hamilton’s council pages, never from the map layer.
