From Alberta come 37 MPs, 33 of them with the Conservative Party of Canada. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Strathcona Park is in. Strathcona Park has no council of its own: it is a neighbourhood of Calgary, run by the city council.
Three governments, and who does what
Strathcona Park is governed by Calgary, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

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.
