Boroughs of Ottawa

The Ottawa Capital District Municipality, the federal capital city of Canada, consists of 11 boroughs (French: arrondissements), each of which is administered by the Capital District Metropolitan Municipal Corporation separately from the 13 provinces and five territories of the Canadian Republic. Each borough has its own local council, which meets regularly to deliberate on issues affecting the borough and its residents. The eleven local councils come together for a plenary meeting annually (the Metropolitan Summit, during which the speaker of each borough's community council has an opportunity to present and/or address concerns and issues, which are then debated and voted upon, to the elected Ottawa Metropolitan Council chaired by the Mayor of Ottawa, with the deliberation continuing until the summit agrees on all presented issues.

While several aspects of local services are funded and coordinated by the borough councils, especially social and charity services, the majority of standard urban services are provided to all eleven boroughs by the common municipal government of Ottawa (the mayor's Metropolitan Council). One such example is public security: the Metropolitan Department of Public Security, answerable to the Mayor of Ottawa, oversees all non-federal law enforcement and the executive justice system within the capital, including contracting regular local policing to the RCMP.
