High Park (electoral district)

High Park (electoral district)

High Park (also known as High Park—Humber Valley) was a federal electoral district in the west end of the city of Toronto, in the province of Ontario, Canada. It was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1935 to 1979.

The High Park area was also represented as a provincial electoral district of the same name electing members to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The provincial riding was created in 1926.

History

The federal riding was created in 1933 from the former riding of Toronto—High Park.

It was initially defined to consist of ward seven of the city of Toronto and the part of ward six lying west of a line drawn from north to south along Indian Road, east along Howard Park Avenue, and south along Sunnyside Avenue to Lake Ontario.

In 1952, it was redefined to include the Ellis Court Apartments.

In 1966, it was redefined to consist of the part of Metropolitan Toronto bounded on the south by Lake Ontario, and on the east, north and west by a line drawn north along Parkside Drive, west along Bloor Street West, north on Pacific Avenue, east along Canadian Pacific Railway, north along Keele Street, west along Rogers Road, northwest along Weston Road, west along Black Creek, south along Jane Street, southwest along Dundas Street, southeast along Mimico Creek, east along The Queensway, and southeast along the Humber River to the shore of Lake Ontario.

The name of the electoral district was changed in 1972 to High Park—Humber Valley.

The electoral district was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed between Davenport, Etobicoke Centre, Parkdale—High Park and Etobicoke—Lakeshore ridings.
