Wellesley Township Council History

We are working on a full list of the members of the Wellesley Township  Council.

​We have also created a list of all the Wellesley councillors who served on the Waterloo County Council. The County council has been documented by Elizabeth Bloomfield and Linda Foster in their book "Waterloo County Councillors: A Collective Biography," (c) 1995 Caribou Imprints. The list of councillors and biographies posted here have been published with the kind permission of Dr. Bloomfield.  ​To access this list, please click here.
