Fraser Tolmie (Conservative Party of Canada) is the MP for Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Lumsden. The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan’s riding map is published without a licence, so this page doesn’t place Lumsden in a riding. In the census’s list of municipalities, Lumsden is a town. In Saskatchewan, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Lumsden’s mayor isn’t named.

elections.sk.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- 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.
