Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Federal and provincial representatives are from a Represent point lookup at the town centre (unchanged).
- Hinton's council roster page lives on hinton.civicweb.net, which robots.txt disallows; it was not read. The Town's own news and election pages on hinton.ca are readable and are the official source for every council row here (2025 general results; 2026 by-election results).
- Council changes since the 2025-10-20 election: Councillor William (Bill) McDonald died and Councillor Dewly Nelson resigned; the 2026-08-27 by-election filled those two seats with Lori-Anne Frattinger (508) and Lyla Mozel (485) ahead of Kristine Haslett (449), Debbie Workun (338) and Eric Boyd Rosendahl (187); turnout 1,067 (14.5%). Which two councillors left is UNOFFICIAL: from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinton,_Alberta) and CBC Edmonton (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/hinton-councillor-bill-mcdonald-dead-9.7183848, McDonald's death; page returned 403 to the fetcher, seen via search listing). The Town's by-election page does not name the departed councillors. Nelson's resignation was found in no second source.
- Hinton's own website blocks automated access; rows marked unofficial come from Wikipedia and CBC Edmonton (only for which councillors left; no row is unofficial) and should be checked against the municipality when it can be read.
