- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Council money. Spending by service comes from MAMH’s consolidated 2024 financial report, revenue, debt and reserves from its financial profile, all per resident on MAMH’s population.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
