DescriptionThis riding in the "Golden Horseshoe" in southern Ontario was redrawn and renamed in 2004.

It is a mix of urban and rural communities, including Ancaster, Dundas and Flamborough, now part of the new amalgamated city of Hamilton.

It stretches from Garner Road, the transmission lines and Highway 403 in the east, to Milburough town line in the north, to Gore Road in the west, and Sawmill Road in the south.

Primary employment sectors include manufacturing, health and social services and retail trade. Average family income is $89,428 and unemployment is four per cent.

In 1996, the riding of Wentworth-Burlington was created and in 2000, it was renamed Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Aldershot. In the 2004 redistribution, Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale riding lost part of the city of Burlington, but took in part of what was formerly Hamilton West.

Population: 106,245
