The FindMyMLA application is a simple web application that helps Canadian citizens find their MLA, MPP, MNA, or MHA. The application uses the postal code of the user to search for their representative, or allows a user to find their representative based on their current location. The application will return the name, party, and contact information for the representative.
This is a not-for-profit project intended to aid citizens with finding their representatives. This project was built simply with the purpose of being easily reusable and re-insertable for the open source use by other non-profits.
The application can use an individual’s postal code, or can search based on their current location.
This application uses two APIs to provide citizens with the correct information.
- Geocoder.ca Provides the API used to accurately search using postal code information.
- Represent Civic Information API Provides the API used to search for representatives based on location.
