Of the 37 Commons seats from Alberta, the Conservative Party of Canada holds 33. As part of Calgary, Banff Trail is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Banff Trail isn’t placed in a riding here.
Three governments, and who does what
Banff Trail is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
The census places Calgary in Division No. 6, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

The open federal catalogue ends at 2021; the 2025 results sit on elections.ca under terms that bar commercial use. Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023. The council elected on 20 October 2025 serves until 15 October 2029, when Calgary council is chosen again. That date comes from the Local Authorities Election Act, which sets the third Monday in October every four years.
