Scarborough Southwest is a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario since 1999.

Geography

It covers the southwestern part of the Scarborough part of Toronto. It stretches from Lake Ontario in the south to Eglinton Avenue in the north.

It consists of the part of the City of Toronto bounded on the west by Victoria Park Avenue, on the south by Lake Ontario, and on the north and east by a line drawn from Victoria Park Avenue northeast along the hydroelectric transmission line situated north of Craigton Drive, south along the Canadian National Railway, east along Eglinton Avenue East, south along Bellamy Road South, southwest along Kingston Road, and southeast along Bellamy Ravine Creek.

The riding includes the neighbourhoods of Birch Cliff, Oakridge, Birchmount Park, Cliffside, Kennedy Park, Clairlea, Golden Mile, Ionview and Cliffcrest in Scarborough, Toronto.

The provincial electoral district was created in 1999 when provincial ridings were defined to have the same borders as federal ridings.
