Kanata-Carleton was created for the 2015 federal election. In early 2017, the provincial riding boundaries were realigned to match. This riding was formed from the previous riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills (CMM).

Not sure if Kanata-Carleton is your riding?

• If you live in Kanata North (City of Ottawa Ward 4), Kanata South (Ward 23) or West Carleton (Ward 5), then you live in the riding of Kanata-Carleton.

• If you live in or around Stittsville (Ward 6), then your riding is probably Carleton;

• If you live in, near or west of Almonte (Mississippi-Mills), then your riding is Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston;

• Check out the map and detailed boundary description below or search these district* finders:

  • Elections Canada (federal) — Note: the federal riding will be affected by redistribution; or

  • Elections Ontario (provincial).

    * The terms riding and district are synonyms: while ‘riding’ is used by most people and in the media, ‘district’ is the formal term used in legislation and by Elections Canada and Elections Ontario.

Elections Canada

The Constitution of Canada requires that the number of seats in the House of Commons be recalculated and the boundaries of federal electoral districts be reviewed after each 10-year census to reflect changes and movements in Canada's population.This process is known as the redistribution of federal electoral districts: Learn more about the on-going 2022 federal redistribution process.
