Government

The chart below shows the structure of the municipal government of Trent Hills. These politicians were elected as of the 2014 municipal election. Following the death of Hector Macmillan who had served as an elected official from 2003 until 2017, [9] deputy mayor Bob Crate was elected mayor and Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan deputy mayor by council. [10]

A Ward Boundary and Council Composition Review was carried out in 2020. The Review established 5 wards based on geographic regions instead of the original communities that now form Trent Hills, with each ward having a single councillor. This also established the position of Deputy Mayor as a separate position. [11] The 2022 municipal election was the first to use these new ward configurations.
