The riding spans 254,894 square kilometres. It is located on the southern shore of Hudson Bay, and on the west shore of James Bay, just west of Nunavut. It is composed of several towns and townships including Hearst, Smooth Rock Falls, Moonbeam and Val Rita-Harty.
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.
