Lucille Collard, Liberals keep hold on Ottawa-Vanier
Make it 54 years and counting for the party in the riding
Ottawa-Vanier has been Liberal since 1971 and is projected to stay that way after Lucille Collard's latest electoral win.
The riding connects Centretown east to the Greenbelt — specifically, the Rideau Canal to Green's Creek. Its southern border roughly follows highways 417 and 174, with a bonus area south of the 174 down to Blair and Innes roads.
The riding includes the neighbourhoods of ByWard Market and Sandy Hill, Vanier, Rockcliffe, Overbrook and Gloucester.
Nearly one-third of its residents told the 2021 census they mostly speak a language other than English at home.
The riding has been Liberal since 1971.
Returning MPP Lucille Collard, winner of a 2020 byelection and 2022 general election, was previously a federal government lawyer and French public school trustee.
Six candidates ran for the seat.
