- 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. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
- Election results. Elections Canada redrew the ridings in 2023 and re-tallied the 2021 ballots onto the new map from polling divisions; that estimate, and the official 2019 and 2021 counts on the old map, are what you see.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
- Council money. MAMH’s 2024 financial report, consolidated: charges by service, with revenue, debt and reserves from the financial profile, per resident with MAMH’s own population.
