Ward 1

In the community

Get outdoors and explore the beautiful town parks and lakefront in Ward 1. Set sail from Bronte Harbour or catch the train at Bronte GO for farther-flung adventures

Bordering Bronte Village is a historical area that began as a port and evolved into a fishing village and summer holiday destination. It maintains the character of a village community and is focused on walkable areas along and around Lakeshore Road West and Bronte Road. The surrounding residential area, the waterfront, and the harbour contribute to the ward's unique heritage and sense of identity.

North of the highway, you will find the beautiful Bronte Creek Provincial Park and the southwestern corner of Palermo Village.

The Town of Oakville was founded on the treaty lands and traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Ward 1 sits on both Treaty 14 land which covers the majority of Oakville and beyond, and Treaty 22 land, which includes the lands at Twelve Mile (Bronte) Creek south of the QEW.
