From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chambly (also known as Chambly—Verchères) was a federal electoral district in the province of Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1867 to 1935, and from 1968 to 2004.
It was created by the British North America Act of 1867. Its name was changed in 1893 to "Chambly—Verchères". It was amalgamated into the Chambly—Rouville and Richelieu—Verchères electoral districts in 1933.
The district was re-created in 1966 from Chambly—Rouville, Châteauguay—Huntingdon—Laprairie, and Richelieu—Verchères. It was abolished in 2003 into Chambly—Borduas.
