As part of Calgary, Silver Springs is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Silver Springs isn’t placed in a riding here. In Ottawa, Pat Kelly speaks for 94% of Silver Springs, and Corey Hogan for most of the remainder.
Three governments, and who does what
Silver Springs is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
