saintpauldabbotsford.qc.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. For residents per seat, the head of council is counted as a seat, and the population is the 2021 Census figure.
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- 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.
- Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
