Riding Profile:
This southwestern riding is composed largely of city of Guelph, and
includes the townships of Eramosa and Puslinch. Main employers in the
area include the University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College and
Connestoga College. It also holds a significant Italian community.
The new Guelph-Wellington riding combines all of the provincial riding
of Guelph with 20 per cent of the old Wellington riding.
Political History:
The former riding of Guelph was won in 1995 by PC candidate Brenda Elliot,
who was later appointed Minister of Environment, then Minister of Community,
Family and Children's Services.
In the old riding of Wellington South, Liberal Harry Worton served
30 years (1955-1985), being elected to eight consecutive terms. The
Liberal legacy was continued by Rick Ferraro in 1985.
