St. Catharines (federal electoral district)

St. Catharines is a federal electoral district in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.

History
It was created in 1966 from parts of Lincoln riding. It consisted initially of the part of the City of St. Catharines bounded on the east by the eastern city limit, and on the north, west and south by a line drawn from the city limit southwest along Eastchester Avenue, south along Bunting Road, southwest along Rockwood Street, south along Hartzell Road, northwest along the Canadian National Railway (CNR) line, south along Glengarry Road, east along Glendale Avenue, south along Mountain Street and east along Bradley Street to the city limit. In 1976, it was redefined to consist of the part of the City of St. Catharines lying north of the Canadian National Railway. In 1987, it was redefined to consist of the part of the City of St. Catharines lying north of a line drawn from west to east along St. Paul Street West, St. Paul Street West to St. Paul Crescent, the old Welland Canal, Carter Creek, the first Canadian National Railway spur line and the main CNR line and Queenston Street. In 1996, it was redefined to consist of the part of the City of St. Catharines lying north and east of a line drawn from the western city limit along St. Paul Street West, St. Paul Crescent, the Old Welland Canal, Carter Creek, the first Canadian National Railway spur line, the most easterly Canadian National Railway spur line and the yard line to the southern city limit. This riding lost fractions of territory to Niagara West and Niagara Centre during the 2012 electoral redistribution. Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding will gain the part of Niagara Centre in the City of St. Catharines that is east of Twelve Mile Creek, and will lose its territory in the Western Hill neighbourhood to Niagara West. These changes will come into effect following the call of the 2025 Canadian federal election. == Demographics ==
