Editing Mayor (section)

===Canada===
{{see also|Local government in Canada|Municipal elections in Canada}}

The chief executives of [[borough#Canada|boroughs]] (''[[Arrondissement#Quebec|arrondissements]]'') in [[Quebec]] are termed mayors ({{Lang|fr|maires/mairesses}} in French). A borough mayor simultaneously serves as head of the borough council and as a regular councillor on the main city council. The scheduling of municipal elections in Canada varies by jurisdiction, as each province and territory has its own laws regarding municipal governance.

As is the practice in most Commonwealth countries, in Canada a mayor is addressed as His/Her Worship while holding office.

====Reeve====

In a few [[List of municipalities in Ontario|municipalities]] and [[township]]s in [[Ontario]], the '''reeve''' is the elected head of the municipality, and the second-in-command is referred to as the '''deputy reeve'''. Historically, in some small [[township (Canada)|townships]], the title "reeve" was used instead of mayor. In some other municipalities, "mayor" and "reeve" were two separate offices, with the mayor retaining leadership powers while the reeve was equivalent to what other municipalities called an "[[at-large]] councillor". Today most municipalities in the province now designate their elected municipal government heads as mayors, but a small handful retain the position. This continues to be the case in the following municipalities and [[township]]s:
* [[Howick, Ontario|Howick Township]], [[Huron County, Ontario|Huron County]]
* [[North Huron, Ontario|North Huron Township]], [[Huron County, Ontario|Huron County]]
* [[Beckwith, Ontario|Beckwith Township]], [[Lanark County]]

The reeve is also the chief elected official in most of [[Alberta]]'s [[List of municipal districts in Alberta|municipal districts]].

The elected heads of rural municipalities (RM) in the provinces of [[Manitoba]] and [[Saskatchewan]] are usually referred to as a reeve.
