The riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) covering Grande Cache is Grande Prairie, and Chris Warkentin (Conservative Party of Canada) represents it in the House of Commons. No provincial riding is named for Grande Cache: the only boundary file for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta forbids commercial reuse. Grande Cache has no council of its own: it belongs to Greenview No. 16, a municipal district. In Alberta, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Grande Cache’s mayor isn’t named.
