Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes (French: Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands et Rideau Lakes) is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons since 1979. Prior to the 2015 election, the riding was known as Leeds—Grenville.[3]

Geography

History

The federal district was created in 1976 from parts of Grenville–Carleton and Leeds ridings.

It consisted initially of the County of Grenville and the County of Leeds, excluding the Town of Smiths Falls. Since 1987, it has consisted of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

With the 2012 electoral redistribution, this district lost a small portion of territory to Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston[citation needed], and renamed Leeds—Grenville—Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes.
