Yorkview was an Ontario provincial electoral district (riding), in the former city of North York from 1963 to 1999. The riding was established for the 1963 Ontario general election.[1] The riding was abolished in preparation for the 1999 Ontario general election. It was partitioned into the current provincial ridings of York West, York Centre and York South—Weston.[2]
Its first and longest-serving Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) was Fred Young,[1] who served the riding as an Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) member, from 1963 until his retirement in 1981.[3] The last MPP to represent the riding was Ontario Liberal Party member, Mario Sergio.[4] Sergio went on to win the first election of the new riding of York West, which contained the majority of the former Yorkview riding.
