33 of the 37 MPs from Alberta belong to the Conservative Party of Canada. The Legislative Assembly of Alberta’s riding map carries non-commercial terms, so Parkland County isn’t placed in a riding here. Locally, Parkland County is run as a municipal district. In Alberta, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Parkland County’s mayor isn’t named.
Three governments, and who does what
Parkland County, a municipal district in Alberta, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
