Hamilton Centre (French:Hamilton-Centre) is a federalelectoral district inHamilton, Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in theHouse of Commons of Canada since 2004.

History

[edit]

It was created in 2003 from parts ofHamilton East,Hamilton West andAncaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot ridings. This riding lost territory toHamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas and gained territory fromHamilton East—Stoney Creek during the2012 electoral redistribution.

Following the2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding gained the remainder of theStrathcona neighbourhood fromHamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas, albeit an uninhabited portion consisting of Woodland Cemetery. It additionally gained the Homeside, Normanhurst, Bartonville, Hamilton, Glenview, and Rosedale neighbourhoods fromHamilton East—Stoney Creek. These changes came into effect upon the calling of the2025 Canadian federal election.

Geography

[edit]

Following the2012 electoral boundary redistribution, the boundaries of Hamilton Centre were significantly adjusted, with the portions of the electoral district that were above the Niagara Escarpment moving to the new district ofHamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas. Elections Canada defined the new boundaries as:

Consisting of that part of the City of Hamilton described as follows: commencing at the intersection of James Mountain Road with the Niagara Escarpment; thence generally westerly along said escarpment to theelectric power transmission line situated westerly of Chateau Court; thence northerly along said transmission line to Highway No. 403; thence generally northeasterly along said highway to the Desjardins Canal; thence easterly along said canal and continuing due east in Hamilton Harbour to the northerly production of Queen Street North; thence northerly in a straight line along said production to the northerly limit of said city; thence generally northeasterly, southeasterly and northeasterly along said limit to the northerly production of Ottawa Street North; thence southerly along said production and Ottawa Street North to Burlington Street East; thence easterly along said street to Kenilworth Avenue North; thence southerly along said avenue and Kenilworth Avenue South to Lawrence Road; thence westerly along said road to the southerly production of Keswick Court; thence southerly along said production to the Niagara Escarpment; thence generally westerly along said escarpment to the point of commencement.^[3]

Following the2022 electoral boundary redistribution, Hamilton Centre's borders were expanded to include the uninhabited portion of Woodlawn Cemetery previously held byHamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas and five neighbourhoods - Homeside, Normanhurst, Bartonville, Glenview West, and Rosedale - that were previously part ofHamilton East—Stoney Creek.^[4]
