40,030 residents per council seat in Hamilton, a higher ratio than 99% of Ontario municipalities
Trinity is part of Hamilton, which elected Andrea Horwath as mayor in October 2022. Ontario held new municipal elections on 26 October 2026; until the province publishes them, the open record stops at the council elected in 2022. For federal votes, Trinity belongs to Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Ned Kuruc (Conservative Party of Canada) holds it. Flamborough—Glanbrook is the riding Trinity votes in for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t named here because no open list records the members.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- 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. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
