History
The riding of Markham—Unionville saw its boundaries shifted after the 2014 Ontario election as a part of a provincial riding redistribution process that saw new ridings created and several existing riding boundaries changed. Markham—Unionville is made up on the northern portion of the old Markham—Unionville riding and an eastern part of the old Oak Ridges—Markham riding. The old Markham—Unionville riding was represented by long-time Liberal MPP Michael Chan, who is not seeking reelection.
