Windsor—St. Clair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Windsor—St. Clair (previously known as Windsor—Lake St. Clair) was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 2003. It was located in the province of Ontario, and included a part of the city of Windsor. This riding was created in 1987 as "Windsor—Lake St. Clair" from parts of Essex—Windsor and Windsor—Walkerville ridings. In 1989, the riding's name was changed to "Windsor—St. Clair".

It was also a provincial riding for the 1999 and 2003 Ontario provincial elections.

Windsor—St. Clair consisted of the northeastern part of the City of Windsor, the Town of Tecumseh and the Village of St. Clair Beach.

The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Windsor—Tecumseh riding. The same change will occur provincially for the 2007 Ontario election.
