Provincial electoral district
The provincial electoral district was created in 1999 when provincial ridings were defined to have the same borders as federal ridings. New electoral district boundaries will follow the current federal boundaries that were in place for the 2004 and 2006 elections. They became law after Bill 214 (2005), otherwise known as the "Representations Act, 2005",was passed in the Ontario Legislature[2]. The October 10, 2007 Ontario general election was conducted using the new boundaries, with only minor changes to the boundaries in the south-east corner of the riding, along the border with the Davenport riding [3].
