| Description |
This eastern Ontario riding lies on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River up to the Quebec border. It contains the townships of South Glengarry, North Stormont, South Stormont, North Dundas and South Dundas.
The city of Cornwall accounts for about half of the riding population. The rest of the riding is largely rural and includes Winchester, Chesterville, Iroquois, Finch, Morrisburg and that part of the Akwesasne Indian Reserve that is in Ontario.
Manufacturing is the main employer and the agriculture industry specializes in dairy products. Average family income is $58,053 and unemployment is 6.2 per cent.
A large francophone population is concentrated in eastern parts of Cornwall. According to the 2001 census, more than 20 per cent of the population have French as their mother tongue.
Stormont-Dundas was created in 1966 from Stormont and Grenville-Dundas ridings. In 1996, boundaries were changed slightly. The riding name was changed to Stormont-Dundas-Charlottenburgh in 1999. In 2004, a small part of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell was added in the northeast and the name of the riding was changed.
