Geography [edit]

This electoral district, located northeast of Montreal in the Quebec region of Lanaudière, currently consists of:

the Regional County Municipality of Matawinie, including Communauté Atikamekw de Manawan indian reserve
the Regional County Municipality of Joliette.

It is bounded by the:

electoral district of Repentigny and Berthier—Maskinongé and the Saint Lawrence River to the south
electoral district of Saint-Maurice—Champlain to the east and north
Lac Nemiscachingue and the electoral districts of Rivière-du-Nord, Montcalm and Laurentides—Labelle to the west

History [edit]

It was created by the British North America of 1867 which preserved existing electoral districts in Lower Canada. In 1933, Joliette became part of the new electoral district of Joliette—L'Assomption—Montcalm.

It was created again in 1966 from Berthier—Maskinongé—delanaudière, Joliette—L'Assomption—Montcalm and Terrebonne ridings.
