About the Riding
Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, the largest community in the riding, grew up around the Beauharnois Canal and the hydroelectric power generated by the drop between Lake Saint-François and Lake Saint-Louis. The Beauharnois generating station, one of Quebec's largest hydroelectric facilities, continues to anchor the regional economy alongside manufacturing and ocean shipping. Beauharnois, Les Cèdres, and Saint-Zotique round out the riding's population centres. To the south, the riding takes in the more rural and partially anglophone communities of Huntingdon, Ormstown, and Saint-Anicet. The political geography split along regional lines, with the Bloc drawing strength in the urban francophone north and the Liberals performing better in the rural anglophone south.
