How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
  • Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
  • 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. 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.
  • Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
  • 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.
