- 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. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
- Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
- Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
- 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.
