Kanata—Carleton is a federal electoral district in Ottawa, Ontario.[2]

Kanata—Carleton was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 2015 federal election. The new riding contains almost all of the portion of the former Carleton—Mississippi Mills located in Ottawa, except for the portion south of Highway 7/Highway 417 that transferred to Carleton. A small fraction came from Nepean—Carleton surrounding the Bridlewood neighbourhood.

2022 Federal Redistribution

[edit]

The 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution took away much of the land area in the riding, which it renamed to just Kanata.[3]

The community of Bells Corners was moved from Nepean riding into Kanata;

Part of Carleton riding north of Hazeldean Road and west of Huntmar Road was reassigned to Kanata.

The largely rural portions west of the 417 and north of Craig's Side Road / Murphy Side Road / Constance Lake Road / Berry Side Road were moved to Carleton. This includes several rural communities: Fitzroy Harbour, Dunrobin, Kinburn and Constance Bay.

The north-west boundary has been moved east from Hertzburg Road to Davidson Side Road north of Carling Avenue. That portion has been moved into the Ottawa West—Nepean riding. It is a rural area which includes a large area of Federal lands, and so is of small consequence to elector counts.
