# Whitby (federal electoral district)

Whitby is a federal electoral district (riding) in Ontario consisting of the entire town of Whitby, Ontario. The boundaries for Whitby were created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and were legally defined in the 2013 representation order. The riding came into existence upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election in October 2015. It was created out of the district of Whitby—Oshawa. It is a key Liberal-Conservative marginal seat.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding will lose all of its territory north of Highway 407 to the new riding of Pickering—Brooklin. This change will come into effect upon the call of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
