Boundaries

1914, 1919 & 1923

The original boundaries for the Parkdale, Ontario provincial electoral district from 1914 to 1926.

The Parkdale electoral district's first incarnation was for the 1914 Ontario general election. The following described boundaries were in force for the 1914, 1919 and 1923 Ontario general elections. Its boundaries started north-westerly at the city's northern limits with York Township, starting just south of Lavender Road, through the northern side of Rowntree Avenue, continuing just north of Innes Avenue, to its eastern border through Prospect Cemetery. The boundary then went southwards along Prospect Cemetery's eastern border until it converged with Lansdowne Avenue at St. Clair Avenue West. The eastern boundary followed Lansdowne all the way to Queen Street West, where it went eastward for a block, then went down the western side of Dunn Avenue to Lake Ontario.[1] The western boundary started at the eastern side of Keele Street (since 1921, this part of Keele Street is named Parkside Drive) at Queen Street West (since 1956, this is called The Queensway). From there, the boundary went north to Bloor Street West where it then went eastward to point east of Indian Road (or about half-way between present day Indian Road and Dorval Avenue). It then travelled north along Indian Road to Humberside Avenue. It went east along Humberside until it intersected with the western Grand Trunk Railway — after 1921, the Canadian National Railway (C.N.R.) — tracks. It went north-westerly until it intersected with the east-west Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) tracks. It went east along the C.P.R. tracks to the north-south Grand Trunk tracks, where the western boundary went north again along the tracks and connected with the northern boundary at the city limits, just south of Lavender Road.[2]

1926, 1929

For the 1926 election, Parkdale's northern-most boundary was the east-west C.P.R. tracks, just north of Dupont Avenue. The northern boundary then went east until the C.N.R. tracks near Lansdowne Avenue. From there, the boundary went south along the C.N.R. tracks to Dundas Street West. From there the eastern boundary went west on Dundas for about a block to the western side of Sorauren Avenue. It then plunged south along Sorauren to Queen Street West, then followed the southern part of Queen, easterly until Dowling Avenue. It then plunged south again to the southern border, Lake Ontario. The western boundary started on land at the western edge of High Park, which was the city limits. The western boundary continued north to Bloor Street West at Clendenan Avenue/Windego Way. It continued eastwards to Indian Road. It then travelled north along Indian Road to Humberside Avenue. From there it went east on Humberside until it intersected the western C.N.R. tracks. The boundary then went north-westerly until it intersected with the northern boundary at the east-west C.P.R.tracks. These boundaries were also in force for the 1929 Ontario general election as well.[1]

Redistribution gave Parkdale some of the area that was previously part of the Brockton electoral district. It also relinquished all the area north of Bloor Street West.

It went east again, along the south side of Queen until Elm Grove Avenue. It went south along Elm Grove until King Street West. At King Street West, it went west along King's north side until Spencer Avenue. The boundary then moved south along Spencer's western side all the way to the southern boundary, Lake Ontario.

The final configuration of the Parkdale electoral district 1987—1999.

The final electoral district redistribution was in place for the 1987 Ontario general election, and pushed Parkdale's boundaries a bit further east. The northern border was a straight line from the intersection of Bloor Street West and Dundas Street West, straight across Bloor to Ossington Avenue. The boundary then went south along Ossington Avenue to College Street. It went west along College until it reached Dovercourt Road. The boundary continued south along Dovercourt, crossing King Street West to Atlantic Avenue where it continued south until the Gardiner Expressway west-bound lanes.
