Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta was last elected on 29 May 2023, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. 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.

Calgary council spends less per resident than most
The 2024 financial return: spending by service and revenue by source, per resident, compared only with Alberta’s municipalities.
Spending per resident by service, 2024
What pays for it

No service costs more than roads and transit, at $801 per resident and 26% of the total. Each resident’s share of Calgary council’s 2024 spending came to $3,091, where the middle of Alberta’s municipalities sat at $3,457.

Local taxpayers carry a smaller share than elsewhere: 39% of revenue, where the province’s returns show 44%.

elections.ab.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Not on this page. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
