Northern Ontario’s provincial ridings differ from the federal ones, and no open file of them exists, so Lac Seul 28’s riding for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario isn’t shown. The First Nation’s council governs Lac Seul 28, a reserve; the open municipal records don’t include band councils. The Liberal Party of Canada has 71 of the 122 MPs elected in Ontario.
Three governments, and who does what
Lac Seul 28 is a First Nations reserve: its band council, Ottawa and Ontario share the work.
The First Nation’s own band council.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- 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.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
