Whitby (provincial electoral district)

Whitby is a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was previously represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as Whitby-Oshawa. The new riding was created through the 2015 Representation Act for the 2018 provincial election, with the district losing some territory to the district of Oshawa to more closely align to the actual town's borders.

History

The riding was created for the 2018 general provincial election and consists of the Town of Whitby. The previous district included sections of Oshawa and Ajax.
