In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Queenswood - Chatelaine belongs to Orléans; 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. For federal votes, Queenswood - Chatelaine belongs to Orléans, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP); Marie-France Lalonde (Liberal Party of Canada) holds it. As a neighbourhood of Ottawa, Queenswood - Chatelaine 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.
