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.
  • Not on this page. The open files end at election night: no council votes since, and no band councils.
  • 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.
  • Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
  • Election results. Ridings changed in 2023: the 2019 and 2021 results are on the old map, and the 2021 vote on today’s map is Elections Canada’s own estimate from polling divisions.
