History
Vaughan—Woodbridge was first proposed as part of the 2012 electoral district redistribution. It would contain the City of Vaughan west of Highway 400 and south of the concession line which Major Mackenzie Drive follows.[3] It was legally defined in the 2013 representation order with no changes and came into effect upon the dropping of the writs for the 2015 federal election.[4]
