Cambridge is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1979.

Geography[]

The district consists of most of the city of Cambridge, Ontario (the portion of it south of Highway 401), the entirety of the Township of North Dumfries, Ontario, and a portion of northern Brant County.^[3]

History[]

The federal electoral district was created in 1976 and consisted of the city of Cambridge and the Township of North Dumfries. In 1987, part of the city of Kitchener was added to the district. In 1996, the boundaries were redrawn again to include a slightly different section of Kitchener. The current boundaries, which are the same as the original definition and contain no parts of Kitchener, were defined in 2003.

This riding lost territory to Kitchener South—Hespeler and gained some territory from Brant during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
