For federal votes, Kinburn belongs to Carleton, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Bruce Fanjoy (Liberal Party of Canada) holds it. For the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Kinburn votes in Kanata—Carleton; open data doesn’t yet say who its MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) is. City council runs Kinburn; in October 2022, Ottawa chose Mark Sutcliffe as mayor. 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.

When Kinburn votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

| Ottawa council | 26 October 2026 | 28 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Ontario | 27 February 2025 | – |

The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021. 28 October 2030 is the next council election in Ottawa, fixed by the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 for the fourth Monday in October every four years. Provincially the last general election was on 27 February 2025, for the Legislative Assembly of Ontario; federally, on 28 April 2025.

Bruce Fanjoy sits with the Liberal Party of Canada, which holds 71 of the 122 seats from Ontario.
The MP’s record
The 2025 general election sent Bruce Fanjoy to the Commons for the first time. On today’s boundaries, the 2021 vote in Carleton would have gone to the Conservative Party of Canada (52%), so Bruce Fanjoy’s 2025 win took it from them.

Ottawa council spends more per resident than most
The 2024 financial return: spending by service and revenue by source, per resident, compared only with Ontario’s single-tier municipalities.
Spending per resident by service, 2024
What pays for it
Shares of revenue, town and province.
Spending by Ottawa council reached $4,324 a resident in 2024, well over the $3,796 median of Ontario’s single-tier municipalities. 15,793 full-time positions are funded, 14.4 per thousand residents. No service costs more than roads and transit, at $1,219 per resident and 28% of the total. At 42%, property taxes count for more of the revenue than the 37% seen across the province. Ottawa council’s borrowing is on the heavy side: $4.2 billion long term, $3,809 a resident where the median is $971.
Every service line, 2024

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- 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. Party control (most Canadian councils sit without parties, and the open lists record none) and band councils.
- Council money. Figures are the 2024 Financial Information Return’s totals after adjustments, per resident on the return’s population. Lower tiers stand beside lower tiers only: their county or region spends on top.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
