Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock (formerly Haliburton—Victoria—Brock) is a provincial electoral district in Central Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

It was created in 1999 from parts of Victoria—Haliburton, Durham East, Durham—York and Hastings—Peterborough.

When the riding was created it was called Haliburton—Victoria—Brock, and included all of Victoria County, most of Haliburton County, the townships of Brock, Galway-Cavendish and Harvey, Burleigh and Anstruther, Chandos and Cavan, as well as the village of Millbrook.

In 2007 it was renamed Haliburton—Kawartha Lakes—Brock after Victoria County was renamed Kawartha Lakes. The riding also gained the municipality of Algonquin Highlands, plus the entire municipality of Cavan-Monaghan. It was identical to the federal riding of the same name until the boundaries changed before the 2025 Canadian federal election.

2009 by-election

On February 4, 2009, a writ was issued for a by-election to be held on March 5, 2009.{{cite news|url=http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/February2009/04/c5707.html|title=Provincial Byelection Called in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock |date=February 4, 2009|work=Office of the Premier of Ontario press release via Canada Newswire|access-date=2009-02-05}}

The by-election was called to fill the seat vacated by Progressive Conservative Member of Provincial Parliament Laurie Scott, who quit so that PC leader John Tory could seek a seat in the legislature.

Rick Johnson, who ran for the Ontario Liberal Party in 2007 after he resigned as president of the Ontario Public School Boards' Association to run against Ms. Scott in 2007 because he was opposed to Mr. Tory's controversial promise to extend public funding to religious schools, is the Liberal candidate for the by-election. The Liberal riding association voted unanimously to support Johnson.{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20090119.wPOLont-tory0119/BNStory/politics/home|title=Liberal to challenge John Tory in by-election|date=January 19, 2009 |work=The Globe and Mail|access-date=2009-02-06}}

Brad Harness, leader of the minor Reform Party of Ontario, announced that the party planned to run a candidate, and slammed Tory as an "urbanite".{{cite news|url=https://www.thestar.com/News/Ontario/article/570621|title= Reform to test 'urbanite' Tory in rural riding|last= Benzie |first= Robert|date=January 14, 2009 |work=Toronto Star|access-date=2009-02-06}} However, as the writ came, the party failed to run a candidate.

The Green Party of Ontario announced its candidate would be Mike Schreiner, an award-winning entrepreneur, sustainable community champion and local food advocate.{{cite news|url=http://www.mykawartha.com/news/article/36363|title=Green Party candidate steps forward|last= Riley|first= Mary|date=2009-01-15 |work=myKawartha.com|access-date=2009-02-05}}

On February 9, the Lindsay Post published a poll of local residents which indicated that Tory’s campaign was off to a rocky start, with nearly 70 percent of respondents saying that they opposed Scott's decision to step aside so that Tory could be a candidate, and nearly half of respondents stating that they were less likely to vote PC because of his candidacy.[http://www.thepost.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1427053 "Poll shows Conservatives unhappy with Tory"] Lindsay Post, February 9, 2009 That outsider status (being from Toronto) likely played a major role in Tory's defeat, combined with the fact that Tory was more liberal than most conservative voters in the riding resulting in many potential PC voters staying home.
