Whitby is a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was previously represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as Whitby-Oshawa. The new riding was created through the 2015 Representation Act for the 2018 provincial election,[1] with the district losing some territory to the district of Oshawa to more closely align to the actual town's borders.[2]

## History
