Riding Profile:
This northern riding is almost evenly split between urban and rural
communities, and includes the Chippewas of Rama First Nation and the
Beausoleil Band of Christian Island.
The riding extends from Georgian Bay in the northwest to Lake Simcoe
in the southeast, and includes the communities of Orillia, Midland and
Penetanguishene. There is a large manufacturing sector in this riding,
as well as a vital tourism-related sector.
In the 1999 redistribution, the new riding of Simcoe North combined
33 per cent of Muskoka-Georgian Bay with almost all of the former Simcoe
East.
Political History:
The Tory dynasty of Simcoe North has been home to MPPs J.D. McPhee
(1943-54), Lloyd Letherby (1954-67), Gordon Smith (1967-81) and Allan
McLean (1981-99). McLean was appointed speaker of the Legislature following
his 1995 victory, but resigned the position amid allegations of sexual
harassment in 1996.
In the riding of Muskoka-Georgian Bay, Liberal Ken Black won in 1987,
followed by NDP Dan Waters in 1990. The riding was won by Tory Bill
Grimmett in 1995.
