A federal electoral district (also called a riding or constituency) is a geographical area represented by a Member of Parliament (MP). Oakville has been represented by MP Anita Anand and Oakville North-Burlington riding by MP Pam Damoff. As of Mid April 2024, the electoral boundaries for Oakville, Burlington, and Milton have undergone redistribution.
As a result of these changes, the Burlington portion of the last election's "Oakville North-Burlington" riding will be combined with one of the two Milton ridings and will be renamed Burlington North - Milton West. And the Town of Oakville will now have two parliamentary seats: Oakville East and Oakville West. These two Oakville electoral ridings will be divided longitudinally by Sixteen Mile Creek, from 407 to Lake Ontario.
It is a legal requirement. The Constitution Act, 1867 and the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act require that the number of seats in the House of Commons and the boundaries of federal electoral districts be reviewed after each decennial (10-year) census. This mechanism allows for changes and movements in Canada's population to be reflected in the House of Commons.
