Calgary’s council runs Ramsay, one of the city’s neighbourhoods. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Ramsay is in. From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Ramsay is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
assembly.ab.ca ↗Passports, pensions, EI, defence, immigration.
ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
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.
