Two provincial byelections are set to be held at the end of next month in Ontario.

Premier Doug Ford's office says byelections in the Ottawa riding of Kanata-Carleton and the east Toronto riding of Scarborough-Guildwood will be held July 27.

Kanata-Carleton was vacated in March when Merrilee Fullerton abruptly resigned both her post as minister of children, community and social services and her seat.

Scarborough-Guildwood has been vacant since Mitzie Hunter resigned last month to run unsuccessfully in Toronto's mayoral byelection. She placed in sixth in the race.

Hunter held one of the legislature's few Liberal seats.

The Ontario PC Party has chosen Toronto councillor Gary Crawford, who represents Ward 20, Scarborough Southwest, as its candidate for Scarborough-Guildwood. In a news release in May, the party said he will remain as a sitting councillor for the duration of the campaign.

The Ontario Liberals, meanwhile, have chosen Andrea Hazell, a small business owner and the president and chair of the Scarborough Business Association, to run for the party in the riding.

The Ontario NDP said its local nomination process is underway and it will provide details soon on its candidate.

In Kanata-Carleton, the Ontario PC Party has chosen Sean Webster, a former vice-president at Canopy Growth Corporation, as its candidate.

Karen McCrimmon, a Canadian Forces veteran and former Member of Parliament, has been chosen as the Ontario Liberal candidate for the riding.

Melissa Coenraad, who also ran for the riding in the last provincial election, is the NDP candidate. Coenraad is a Kanata mom and local advocate, the NDP said in a news release on Wednesday.

Ontario will likely soon have another byelection in the works, as Laura Mae Lindo, who represents Kitchener-Centre for the NDP, has indicated she will resign next month.
