Canada: Find and Contact Your Government

Choose any of Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories to find regional government, legislature and local-government routes.

Everyone can ask a useful question. These links help you take it to the office responsible and follow what happens next.

Federal government and Parliament or Congress

Members of provincial and territorial legislatures have different titles, including MLA, MPP, MNA and MHA. Choose your region below. Municipal government is a separate route for local services.

Indigenous governments and communities also have distinct responsibilities and contact arrangements. First Nation profiles and governance information can help locate a First Nation; this is not a complete directory of Inuit, Métis or all self-governing authorities. Ask the relevant community for its own official route.

Turn your concern into a clear request

Describe what you have experienced, where it is happening, why it matters and the action or information you are requesting. Ask which office has responsibility, what is already being done and when you can expect a response. Keep a dated copy and follow up through the official channel.

“I live in [community]. I am concerned about [issue]. This affects people here by [effect]. What action is your office taking, what evidence informs it, and how can residents contribute? If this belongs to another office, please provide its contact details. Please tell me when I can expect a response.”

You can also attend public meetings, submit a written question, respond to consultations or request public records. Ask about future generations and effects beyond your community. Avoid sharing private medical, financial or identifying details in a public submission.

Help keep the routes useful

Directories and boundaries can change. If a local office is missing, ask the regional government for its official website or clerk’s contact. Tell us about broken links or better official directories so we can improve access for everyone.
