Kanata—Carleton (provincial electoral district)

The riding was created federally with the 2012 redistribution process. That same process was announced by the Ontario government, meaning the provincial ridings will follow a similar boundary division for the 2018 provincial election.{{cite web|url=http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/ontario-provincial-elections-to-move-to-spring-as-liberals-promise-to-tackle-largely-unregulated-third-party-ads|title=Ontario provincial elections to move to spring as Liberals promise to tackle largely unregulated third-party ads|date=June 4, 2015|work=National Post|access-date=2015-06-16}} The new riding contains almost all of the portion of the former Carleton—Mississippi Mills located in Ottawa, except for the portion south of Highway 7/Highway 417 that transferred Carleton. A small fraction came from Nepean—Carleton surrounding the Bridlewood neighbourhood.
