Rob Morrison (Conservative Party of Canada) represents Salmo in Ottawa as MP for Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies
Locally, Salmo is run as a village. In British Columbia, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Salmo’s mayor isn’t named. Kootenay Central is the riding Salmo votes in for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, and its MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly, the provincial or territorial legislature) isn’t named here because no open list records the members. Across British Columbia, 20 of the 43 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.

- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
