Capital District Metropolitan Municipal Corporation

The Capital District Metropolitan Municipal Corporation (French: Corporation métropolitaine municipale du District capital) is the statutory authority and incorporated municipality responsible for the eleven boroughs of [[Ottawa, the federal capital and fourth-most populous city of Canada; as Ottawa is separate from any of Canada's 13 provinces or five territories, its boroughs are administered via devolved authority from the Parliament of Canada, similar to the process by which Canada's five territories are afforded province-like autonomy (as opposed to the provinces, which according to the constitution share sovereignty equally with the federation; the constitution makes no mention of territorial autonomy or a capital district).

According to statute passed by the Parliament of Canada, the Capital District Metropolitan Municipal Corporation is administered by the Ottawa Metropolitan Council, which is led by the popularly-elected Mayor of Ottawa. The eleven boroughs each have their own elected local council, which may bring issues before the Office of the Mayor at annual plenary sessions of all borough and metropolitan officials.
