History

Parkdale—High Park was created in 1996 when provincial districts were defined to have the same borders as federal electoral districts.^[6] It had previously been represented by portions of the High Park—Swansea, Parkdale, and York South districts.^[7]

Cheri DiNovo, a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), became the district's MPP after the September 14, 2006 by-election caused by Kennedy's resignation from the Legislature. DiNovo was re-elected in the 2007, 2011 and 2014 Ontario general elections^[9] before retiring from politics in 2017 to become minister of Trinity-St. Paul's United Church.
