The results cover two election dates: October 26 in Ontario and October 28 in Manitoba’s capital.

The certified results show Olivia Chow returning as Toronto mayor, Keanin Loomis taking the mayor’s office in Hamilton, Alvin Tedjo winning in Mississauga, Scott Gillingham securing another term in Winnipeg and Carrie McEachran becoming mayor of Sarnia. The seven cities also elected dozens of ward councillors who will make decisions on local services, infrastructure, housing, budgets and neighbourhood priorities.

Why Ottawa is not yet included
Ottawa also held its municipal election on October 26, but the City’s election-results page was still labelled “unofficial results” when StudioX checked on October 30. The City had said its Clerk would declare the results official after an external auditor submitted a final report. Ottawa’s mayoral and council results will be added once the City posts its certified declaration.
For residents, the next stage is to follow how the incoming councils translate campaign commitments into budgets, service decisions and local policy. The mayoral result is only one part of each election: ward councillors will also shape decisions on housing, transportation, public safety, infrastructure and municipal finances over the coming term.
