1950 Ottawa municipal election

The city of Ottawa, Canada, held municipal elections on December 4, 1950.

28 aldermen from 14 wards, plus 4 controllers and the mayor for a total of 33 on council.

Voters overwhelmingly voted to reduce the council down to 18 aldermen in a plebiscite which saw its largest opposition in the more francophone Ottawa and By Wards.

Three new wards were added to council, due to the annexation of parts of Nepean Township and Gloucester Township.

Gloucester Ward held a special election on January 2, 1950, while Carleton and Westboro Wards held elections on December 19, 1949.
