Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Oakridge is in. Calgary’s council runs Oakridge, one of the city’s neighbourhoods. From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Oakridge is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
No county or regional government sits above Calgary’s council; Division No. 6 is only a census division, a unit for statistics.

When Oakridge 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 | – |
No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown. The council elected on 20 October 2025 serves until 15 October 2029, when Calgary council is chosen again. The Local Authorities Election Act sets the day: 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.
