Andrew Knack, the mayor, heads the council of Edmonton, which governs Glengarry as one of its neighbourhoods. Because the Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s boundaries come with non-commercial terms, this page doesn’t say which riding Glengarry is in. 33 of the 37 MPs from Alberta belong to the Conservative Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Glengarry is governed by Edmonton, with Alberta and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
The census places Edmonton in Division No. 11, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

When Glengarry votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Edmonton council | 20 October 2025 | 15 October 2029 |
| Legislative Assembly of Alberta | 29 May 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 29 May 2023. Edmonton council was elected on 20 October 2025, and the next vote is on 15 October 2029. Councils are elected on the third Monday in October every four years, says the Local Authorities Election Act, so Edmonton votes next on 15 October 2029. There are no 2025 counts here: Elections Canada’s terms bar their commercial reuse, so 2021 is the latest open result.

elections.ab.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- 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.
