Niagara Centre - Provincial Riding

Provincial Riding

The provincial riding of Niagara Centre was created before the 1999 election from small parts of Lincoln and St. Catharines—Brock ridings, and almost all of Welland—Thorold riding.

The riding is held by the Ontario New Democratic Party's Peter Kormos since 1988 (then as Welland—Thorold). He served briefly as a minister in the cabinet of Bob Rae.
