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. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
  • 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. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
  • 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.
