The area at a glance
Definitions vary: the City's planning boundary is mapped on Schedule Q, Village of Osgoode, in the Consolidated Villages Secondary Plan. The community association describes a wider area extending from the Rideau River in the west to an eastern line through Stagecoach Road and Fourth Line Road, with a northern limit just north of Waterfront Road and a southern limit along Dalmeny Road to the river. These association limits are not a substitute for the City's village boundary.

How do you get downtown from Osgoode by transit?
One option is to reach Bowesville or Leitrim Park & Ride, take O-Train Line 2 north to Bayview, then transfer to Line 1 east towards downtown. The village's Route 304 is a Thursday shopper service, so it does not provide a daily commute.
