Sault Ste. Marie is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.

In 2004, because of population changes in boundary distribution, the riding expanded significantly to include a significant portion of the Algoma District, from Bruce Mines and St. Joseph Island in the east to the Montreal River in the north.

Electoral district[edit]

The riding was created in 1966 from parts of Algoma West riding. For most of its history, the riding included only the city of Sault Ste. Marie and some immediately surrounding communities.

It consisted initially of the City of Sault Ste. Marie and the Township of Prince. In 1976, it was redefined to consist of the part of the City of Sault Ste. Marie east of Allen's Side Road and south of the Second Line.

In 1987, it was redefined to consist of the part of the City of Sault Ste. Marie lying south of Third Line and the part of Rankin Location 15D lying within the city limits.

In 1996, it was redefined to consist of the City of Sault Ste. Marie.

In 2003, it was given its current boundaries as described below.

As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding will be redefined, losing St. Joseph Island, Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional, Laird, Tarbutt and Tarbutt Additional, Johnson, Plummer Additional and Bruce Mines to Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing.
