The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Cityscape isn’t placed in a riding here. Amanpreet Gill represents 79% of Cityscape in the Commons, while Jasraj Hallan covers the bulk of the rest. As part of Calgary, Cityscape is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own.
Three governments, and who does what
Cityscape is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

When Cityscape votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Calgary council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
After the 20 October 2025 election, Calgary council next goes to the polls on 15 October 2029. That date comes from the Local Authorities Election Act, which sets the third Monday in October every four years. Provincially the last general election was on 29 May 2023, for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta; federally, on 28 April 2025. The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021.
