Beechborough-Greenbrook sends one MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from York South—Weston, though no open record we can reuse gives the name. Beechborough-Greenbrook sends one MP to Ottawa from York South—Weston—Etobicoke, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Ahmed Hussen (Liberal Party of Canada). Toronto, which governs Beechborough-Greenbrook, elected John Tory 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.

elections.on.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- 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.
- Council size. Seats count the head of council and the councillors, and residents are the 2021 Census count; a neighbourhood shows its city’s.
- 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.
