There are also several native reserves in the riding and the aboriginal population is the third highest in the province, according to the 1996 census. The riding was created prior to the 1999 general election through the amalgamation of the former ridings of Algoma and Algoma-Manitoulin, plus parts of the Nickel Belt and Lake Nipigon ridings.
