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

When Queen Mary Park 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 | – |
After the 20 October 2025 election, Edmonton council next goes to the polls on 15 October 2029. Edmonton votes next on 15 October 2029: the Local Authorities Election Act sets municipal elections on the third Monday in October every four years. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta was last elected on 29 May 2023, and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. No open copy of the 2025 counts exists, and Elections Canada’s own terms rule out commercial reuse, so 2021 is the last vote shown.

- Council money. Alberta’s 2024 municipal financial returns, per resident with Statistics Canada’s 2025 population estimate.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Not on this page. No party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record, and no band councils.
