Zone 1 Rural West, originally created in 1997 as one of 12 trustee electoral zones in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, comprises the Townships of Goulbourn, part of Rideau and West Carleton. With the formation of the new City of Ottawa at the end of 2000, Zone 1 was expanded to include all of the Goulbourn, Rideau and West Carleton wards. Prior to school board amalgamation in 1998, all of Zone 1 was part of the Carleton Board of Education; Goulbourn and West Carleton each had a trustee, and Rideau Township shared a trustee with Osgoode Township to the east. Lynn Scott represented West Carleton on the Carleton Board of Education from 1994 to 1997, when she was re-elected to represent Zone 1 in the OCDSB. She was acclaimed as the trustee for Zone 1 on the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board for her third three-year term commencing in December 2000, and re-elected
in November 2003 and November 2006. She is currently Chair of the Board.
Zone 1 Rural West stretches from Constance Bay and Fitzroy Harbour on the shores of the Ottawa River, all the way to Burritts Rapids on the shores of the Rideau
River, and east to Manotick and the edges of suburban Kanata. Zone 1 includes the whole of the former Goulbourn, Rideau and West Carleton Townships,
plus rural Kanata and part of rural Nepean, for an area of about 1523 square kilometres, or
53% of the amalgamated City of Ottawa. As of 2006, the total population of Zone 1 is about
69,000 residents, of which about 44,500 were constituents of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.
Zone 1 currently includes
12 elementary schools, 2 secondary schools and 1 secondary alternate program operated by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, serving a resident student population of
about 7,200 pupils.
