History

From 1994 to 2022, the ward included the community of Blackburn Hamlet as well as the neighbourhoods of Orléans Village, Châteauneuf and Chapel Hill in Orléans. It also included the part of the community of Notre-Dame-des-Champs formerly in the city of Gloucester and the newer Bradley Estates development. The ward was created when the city of Gloucester was amalgamated into the new city of Ottawa. It was named Innes Ward from 1997 to 2022. Prior to that, it was just known as Ward 2.

Following the 2020 Ottawa Ward boundary review, the ward gained the neighbourhood of Convent Glen and lost the neighbourhood of Chapel Hill South.
