Michael Cooper (Conservative Party of Canada) holds St. Albert—Sturgeon River, the riding that includes Bon Accord
From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada. No provincial riding is named for Bon Accord: the only boundary file for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta forbids commercial reuse. Locally, Bon Accord is run as a town. Mayors and councillors in Alberta aren’t on any open list, so Bon Accord’s council goes unnamed here.
