As a neighbourhood of Ottawa, Fitzroy shares the council elected in October 2022, with Mark Sutcliffe as mayor. Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026, and the province hasn’t published that election’s open file yet, so these are the 2022–26 council’s names. Fitzroy is in Carleton, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP), and the seat belongs to Bruce Fanjoy of the Liberal Party of Canada. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Fitzroy belongs to Kanata—Carleton; who holds it as MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Council money. Per resident means the 2024 Financial Information Return’s totals over the population it reports. Since a county or region spends in its lower tiers too, those are compared only with each other.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- 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.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
- Not on this page. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
