Nepean (provincial electoral district)
Nepean was a provincial electoral district from 1987 to 1999, matching the federal electoral district of the same name. The riding was re-created federally with the 2012 redistribution process that takes place every year. That same process was announced by the Ontario government, meaning the provincial ridings will follow a similar boundary division for the 2018 provincial election.[1]
Riding history
Nepean was created in 1987 to match the federal electoral district of the same name. It was represented by a Liberal MPP for eight years before it was won by then 25-year-old Progressive Conservative John Baird. Baird represented Nepean for four years. In 1999, the provincial redistribution resulted in Nepean being abolished as it was split between the new Ottawa West-Nepean, Rideau-Carleton, and Nepean-Carleton ridings.
2018 return
Provincial law has required that southern Ontario's electoral boundaries have the same boundaries provincially and federally. The federal boundaries were redistributed in 2012 in time for the 2015 federal election, meaning Ontario's first provincial election under the new boundaries will be in 2018.[1]
Members of Provincial Parliament
Nepean elected the following members of the Ontario legislature:
- Hans Daigeler, Liberal (1987–1995)
- John Baird, Progressive Conservative (1995–1999)
