Erie—Lincoln

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erie—Lincoln was a federal electoral district in [Ontario]], Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1997 to 2004, and is a provincial electoral district that will be represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario until 2007. This riding was created in 1996 from parts of Erie, Haldimand—Norfolk and Lincoln ridings.

It consisted of the City of Port Colborne, the towns of Fort Erie and Lincoln and the townships of Wainfleet and West Lincoln in he Regional Municipality of Niagara, and the Town of Dunnville in the Regional Municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk.

The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Haldimand—Norfolk, Niagara Falls, Niagara West—Glanbrook, and Welland ridings. It still exists as a provincial riding, but will be replaced in the 2007 provincial election by the new federal riding boundaries.
