How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Council size. Every seat counts, the head of council’s too, against the population of the 2021 Census.
  • 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. 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. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
