Elected Body
Although Bill 125 indicated an election would occur on the first Monday of February 1965, provisions were made to extend the deadline for up to two years upon petition by the majority of the land-owners (per area). Such petition was approved and sent to the Provincial Government by the Council on October 21, 1964; the first election thus occurred on January 25, 1967. In the meantime, the Cities and Towns Act was modified so that alderman seats would have to be numbered. Each alderman was thus attributed a numbered seat on December 14, 1966.

The next election is scheduled for November 2009.
