Sources and coverage
Name, ward, role, and contact come from the City's public councillor directory. Official attendance and recorded votes appear when City Clerk data is present for this profile. Agenda links, themes, and meeting-level lines use public meeting text—coverage can be incomplete and lines can be misread.
Ward-on-item rows are geographic hints on agenda lines, not proof someone spoke or voted. Title matching uses agenda wording, not full motion text at scale. Counts describe records we hold, not scores or rankings.
For verification, use meeting pages and city links there. Webcasts open from the city when linked on a meeting; this site does not host meeting video files.
