From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the defunct provincial electoral district, see Guelph—Wellington (provincial electoral district)

Guelph—Wellington was a federal electoral district represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 2003. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1987 from parts of Guelph (electoral district) and Wellington—Dufferin—Simcoe electoral districts.

Guelph—Wellington initially consisted of the City of Guelph, the Village of Erin, and the townships of Eramosa, Erin, Guelph, Pilkington and Puslinch in the County of Wellington.

In 1996, the riding was re-defined to consist of the City of Guelph and the townships of Eramosa, Guelph and Puslinch. The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Guelph (electoral district) and Wellington—Halton Hills electoral districts.
