Kenora—Rainy River (provincial electoral district)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kenora—Rainy River is a provincial electoral district (riding) in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It was created for the 1999 election from Kenora, most of Rainy River and part of Lake Nipigon. The boundaries of the new district corresponded with the Kenora—Rainy River federal riding, until it was abolished in 2003. The provincial riding will continue to exist.
The riding is represented by Howard Hampton, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party. The riding includes the western three quarters of Kenora District, the western three quarters of the Rainy River District and the northwest corner of the Thunder Bay District.
