Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Federal and provincial representatives only, from a Represent point lookup at the city centre. The municipal council and any candidates are not yet captured.
- Municipal council added 2026-10-09 from https://truro.ca/mayor-and-council.html. Deputy Mayor Bill Thomas's ward is not printed on the page (seat left null; by elimination it would be Ward 2). Councillor emails are hidden behind a JavaScript spam-protection script and were not captured.
- Provincial member added 2026-10-09 from the Nova Scotia Legislature member list: the riding containing the /local centre point is Truro-Bible Hill-Millbrook-Salmon River (point-in-boundary via Represent's current boundary set; the person is sourced from the legislature).
- Last municipal general election 2024-10-19 (Nova Scotia's province-wide municipal election day; date confirmed in HRM's 2024 Municipal Election project review, https://www.halifax.ca/sites/default/files/documents/city-hall/elections/2024_municipalelections_projectreviewandnextelectiondocument_8.5x11-web.pdf). The next is October 2028.
