- Council money. Per resident uses MAMH’s population; the 2024 financial report gives charges by service and the financial profile the revenue, debt and reserves.
- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Which riding. A riding is listed when 5% or more of the place’s 2021 Census residents live in it; the largest share comes first.
- 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.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- Who holds each seat. A member who resigned or switched parties last week may still show here: the names are Wikidata’s.
