Laurentides (electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Laurentides was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 2003.

This riding was created in 1987 from Labelle riding. It was abolished in 2003, and redistributed between Laurentides-Labelle and Rivière-du-Nord

Laurentides initially consisted of the towns of Estérel, Sainte-Adèle, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Saint-Antoine and Saint-Jérôme, and parts of the Counties of Labelle and Montcalm.

In 1996, the riding was redefined to consist of the cities of Estérel, Saint-Antoine, Saint-Jérôme, Saint-Jovite, Sainte-Adèle and Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, and parts of the County Regional Municipalities of Les Pays-d'en-Haut, La Rivière-du-Nord, and Le Laurentides.
