For local government, Campbellford falls under Trent Hills, a municipality. Robert Crate was elected mayor of Trent Hills in October 2022, on a council of 7 seats. The council shown is the one elected in 2022, since Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026 and no open file of the new councils exists yet. Campbellford sends one MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from Northumberland—Peterborough South, though no open record we can reuse gives the name. Across Ontario, 71 of the 122 MPs sit with the Liberal Party of Canada.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- Not on this page. Party control (Canadian councils are mostly elected without parties, and the open lists record none), council budgets, and band councils.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Election results. Official counts for 2019 and 2021 are by the 2013 ridings; Elections Canada also re-counted the 2021 ballots onto the 2023 ridings by polling division, and that estimate is what “today’s boundaries” means here.
