ONTARIO ELECTORAL DISTRICS WITH LARGE INDIGENOUS POPULATION
Although there are many ridings with large Indigenous populations, Ontario created two new northern riding designed with the hopes to increase Indigenous representation in the Ontario Legislature. To get an idea of the First Nations votes, one can look at the Ontario Electoral District maps which shade in beige First Nations in the various ridings.
Also, there is significant amount of First Nation, Metis and Inuit peoples in Ontario's urban centres/cities based on the 2016 Census of Canada. Please see graph below provided by that shows the Indigenous population in various Ontario metropolitan areas. You can click on map to enlarge.
