History
This is a new riding. It was created in 2017 by the Ontario Government in an effort to adjust the provincial electoral map to bring it in line with the one used for federal elections. This riding was created when the electoral district of Timmins-James Bay was split, resulting in two new ridings: Timmins, and Mushkegowuk-James Bay. The 2018 Ontario general election will be the first time the seat is contested.
