History
Timmins—James Bay was created in 1996 from parts of Cochrane—Superior and Timiskaming—Cochrane ridings.
It consisted initially of:
- the part of the Territorial District of Cochrane lying west and north of a line drawn from the southeast corner of the City of Timmins north and west along the east and north limits of the city north along the east boundaries of the Townships of Prosser, Lucas, Beck and Ottaway, west and north along the south and west boundary of the Township of Clute, north along the east boundary of the Township of Colquhoun, and east along the south boundaries of the Townships of Marven, Thorning, Potter, Sangster, Bragg, Newman, Tomlinson, Hurtubise and St. Laurent,
- the part of the Territorial District of Kenora lying east of a line drawn north from the most northerly northeast corner of the Territorial District of Thunder Bay to Hudson Bay.
In 2003, it was given its current boundaries as described above.
This riding gained a fraction of territory from Nipissing—Timiskaming during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
2022 changes
In the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution the riding gains the Highway 11 corridor and the Chapleau area from Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing. Loses Marten Falls 65 and the area south of the Albany River and generally west of the Kenogami River to Thunder Bay—Superior North. Loses the southeastern quarter of Timiskaming District (James eastward and Chamberlain southward) to Nipissing—Timiskaming.
