Riding Info
This riding in central eastern Ontario contains the City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County and parts of Peterborough County and Durham Region. It includes the towns of Lindsay, Buckhorn, Fenelon Falls and the townships of Cavan-Millbrook-North Monaghan, Galway-Cavendish and Harvey, North Kawartha and Brock.
The riding of Victoria-Haliburton was established in 1966 from Victoria, Hastings-Frontenac and Peterborough ridings. The riding name was changed to Haliburton-Victoria-Brock in 1998. The 2004 redistribution added a small area from the Peterborough riding in the south and a small part from Parry Sound-Muskoka in the north. The riding name was changed to Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock to reflect the name of a group of newly amalgamated communities.
Population: 119,141 (2006 census; an increase of 7% since 2001)
