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 Stettler is in. Locally, Stettler is run as a town. No open list of councils exists in Alberta, so no mayor of Stettler is named here.
