Riverside South-Findlay Creek Ward or Ward 22 is a city ward located in Ottawa, Ontario. Situated in the south end of the city, the ward includes the communities of Riverside South and Findlay Creek in the former city of Gloucester.

History

The ward was created in 2006 from parts of Bell-South Nepean and Gloucester-Southgate Wards due to the rapid growth in both communities. It was known as Gloucester-South Nepean Ward until 2022. During this time, the ward also consisted of the neighbourhoods of Chapman Mills, Stonebridge and Davidson Heights in Barrhaven.
