How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • Council size. The council size includes the head of council; the population is the 2021 Census, the whole city’s for a neighbourhood.
  • 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.
  • Who holds each seat. The members named here are Wikidata’s, kept up by volunteers; a by-election or a floor crossing may take a few days to show.
  • Not on this page. How councillors voted once in office, and band councils, are beyond the open record.
  • 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.
  • Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
