saint-ephrem.com ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- 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.
- 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. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
