Ridings
121 Clarington-Scugog-Uxbridge
2004 Candidates
Riding Profile
This riding at the eastern edge of the Greater Toronto Area takes in
Uxbridge and Scugog townships and the regional municipality of Clarington.
The riding includes the communities of Uxbridge, Port Perry, Orono, Bowmanville
and Courtice.
The Indian reserve of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island is part of the
riding, which extends from Lake Ontario in the south to Lake Scugog in the
north, north of the ridings of Ajax-Pickering and Whitby-Oshawa.
Manufacturing is the major employer, with a small portion of the labour
force engaged in the production of dairy products and the farming of soybeans
and corn.
The average household income is $78,234 and the unemployment rate is 4.9
per cent.
Clarington-Scugog-Uxbridge riding was created in 2004 from 84 per cent
of Durham riding and 16 per cent of Pickering-Ajax-Uxbridge riding. Part
of the city of Oshawa moved into the Whitby-Oshawa riding and the western
boundary moved west to the York-Durham line. The riding of Durham was established
in 1903 and in 1966 merged with parts of Oshawa and Ontario ridings to become
Durham-Northumberland. It became Durham again in 1986. Population:
107,435
Political History
1993, 1997, 2000: LIB
In 2000, Liberal Alex Shepherd defeated the Alliance's Gerry Skipwith
in Durham to win a third term in office. Durham had elected PC Ross Stevenson
in 1988. He held the riding until 1993, when he was knocked to third
place by Shepherd. If the Conservative Party successfully combines
the old Alliance and Tory votes in this riding, it may defeat the Liberals.
