Across Alberta, 33 of the 37 MPs sit with the Conservative Party of Canada. As part of Calgary, Mission is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own. No provincial riding is named for Mission: the only boundary file for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta forbids commercial reuse.
Three governments, and who does what
Mission is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Not on this page. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
