Riding Profile:
A mix of urban and rural, this long, narrow riding is home to a grape-growing
and wine-making industry which is a large part of the area's manufacturing
sector. It includes Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake and, in the west,
part of city of Thorold.
The borders for this riding run from Lake Ontario in north to the city
limits of Niagara Falls in the south. To the west, it begins at the
Welland Canal and it stretches to the Niagara River in the east.
Tourism is key here, thanks to Niagara Falls and the Shaw Festival.
As a result of the 1999 redistribution, the new riding of Niagara Falls
combined most of the old Niagara Falls riding with 25 per cent of St.
Catharines-Brock and small portions of Niagara South and Welland-Thorold.
Political History:
In 1975, Liberal Vince Kerrio defeated PC incumbent John Clement by
a scant 172 votes. Kerrio was re-elected four times, and served in the
David Peterson cabinet. In 1990, NDP candidate Margaret Harrington won
the riding, followed in 1995 by Tory Bart Maves.
