Mississauga South (050)Candidates:
This entire riding lies within the city of Mississauga, and includes some of the oldest neighborhoods, such as Lorne Park, Lakeview, Port Credit and Clarkson. The borders run from Dundas Street and the Queen Elizabeth Way in the north to the shoreline of Lake Ontario in the south. In the west, its borders start at Winston Churchill Boulevard and the Mississauga city limits, while it ends in the east at Etobicoke Creek. In recent years, this region has seen a significant turnover of residents, with many young families moving into the area. In the 1999 redistribution, the new riding of Mississauga South folded 10 per cent of the old Mississauga East riding and six per cent of the old Mississauga West riding into all of Mississauga South. The 2007 redistribution added eight per cent of Mississauga Centre.

[PDF, 227KB] ( Acrobat Reader required - download free Acrobat Reader.) Political History:In the old riding of Peel (which this area used to cover), Progressive Conservative T.L. Kennedy won an impressive 11 elections for the Tories between 1919 and 1955, failing only in the election of 1934. Kennedy held a number of cabinet portfolios and served briefly as the party's interim leader and provincial premier from 1948 to 1949. Kennedy was succeeded by fellow Tory Bill Davis, who won the riding in 1959 and 1963. Davis went on to serve as premier from 1971 to 1985. In the pre-1999 Mississauga South riding, Tory Doug Kennedy won in 1975, 1977 and 1981. Margaret Marland, also PC, won the seat in 1985, 1987, 1990 and 1995, then took the restructured riding in 1999. She was edged out in 2003 by Liberal Tim Peterson, who won by just 248 votes.
