The Municipal Act acknowledges the importance of a "community or diversity of interests". In St. Andrews there are two primary and distinguishable communities of interest. Within the inner two miles of the river lot system, the population is characterized heavily by exurbanites who communicate to workplaces in neighbouring urban centers. Wards 1, 2 and 3 represent this population. The balance of the municipality is still dominated to agricultural interests. Wards 4, 5 and 6 will represent this population.
