Riding Profile
This riding in the western part of the Greater Toronto Area has a large
and rapidly increasing population. It contains the town of Milton and parts
of Oakville and Burlington.
The southeast boundary of the riding is Dundas Street East, Eighth Line,
Queen Elizabeth Way and Upper Middle Road. In the northwest, the riding
extends to Highway 7, Tremaine Road, No. 5 Side Road and Highway 401.
The economy is based on manufacturing and the service sector. Many residents
commute to jobs in and around Toronto. Average family income is $103,617
and unemployment is a low 3.5 per cent.
In 2004, the northern boundary of the riding was moved south and a small
portion of Burlington was added in the southeast. The riding of Halton existed
from 1867 to 1986. It then became Halton-Peel, by combining portions of
York-Peel, Brampton-Georgetown, Burlington and Halton. Halton was re-established
in the 1996 redistribution by combining the ridings of Halton-Peel and Oakville-Milton. Population:
