Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward is a city ward in Ottawa, Ontario.

Contents

Prior to amalgamation, the area was part of Rideau Ward. The name "Rideau Ward" has been applied to this area since New Edinburgh was annexed by Ottawa in 1887. It was first contested in the 1887 municipal election, [2] and was known as New Edinburgh Ward in the 1887 and 1888 elections. [3] This recent incarnation of Rideau Ward was created in 1994 from Overbrook-Forbes Ward and part of By-Rideau Ward. It was initially named Ward 4 before being renamed Rideau in 1995.
