Don Valley West
For Don Valley West, the commission only made an adjustment to its southern boundary to follow the Don River, rather than the old municipal border that existed between East York and North York.
The new riding, starting north, begins at the intersection of Hwy. 401 and Yonge St.; then continues south along Yonge St. to Broadway Ave.; then east along Broadway Ave. to the former easterly limit of the former city of Toronto; south, east, south, west and southeast along that former boundary to the CP Railway line; then northeasterly along the railway to Bayview Ave.; then south along Bayview Ave. to Pottery Rd.; then generally northeast along Pottery Rd. to the Don River; then generally northeast along the river to the Don River East Branch; then north along the branch to the CP Railway line; then southwest along the railway to Don Mills Rd.; then north along said road to the CN Railway line; then northwest along the railway to Leslie St.; then north along Leslie St. to Hwy. 401; then southwest along the highway back to Yonge St..
According to the 2001 census 115,539 reside in the newly-changed Don Valley West (up from 108,254 in the riding, based on the 1996 census, before it was changed).
"As far as I can judge — and we’ve studied the map — there were some territorial changes, but it doesn’t seem to affect people — it’s like parkland or something," said riding MP John Godfrey. "It doesn’t seem, actually, to change. I don’t think there’s a single new person in or out, because of the boundary change. I think it mostly has to do with land where people don’t live.
"I think we got through that fairly nicely."
