This is a
list of Canada's 308 federal
electoral districts (also known as
ridings in
Canadian
English) as defined by the
2003 Representation Order,
which came into effect on
May 23,
2004.
Federal
electoral districts are
constituencies that elect Members of Parliament to Canada
's House of Commons every
election. Provincial electoral districts may have similar
names with different geographic boundaries, as in
Ottawa South.
Four ridings established by the
British North America Act in 1867
are still in existence: Beauce, Halifax, Shefford, and Simcoe
North.
Canadians elected members for each electoral district most recently
in the
2008 federal
election. On November 14, 2007, the government of Canada
announced a bill that would see the creation of 22 new ridings –
ten in Ontario, seven in British Columbia and five in Alberta.
After protests from Ontario that it would still not receive a fair
number of seats under the new system, this was revised in December
2008 to give Ontario 21 new ridings. The new districts would take
effect after the results have been gathered from the 2011 census.
They will thus most likely appear in 2014, and apply to subsequent
elections.
