Brantford—Brant South (French: Brantford—Brant-Sud) is a federal electoral district in Ontario, Canada. It came into effect upon the call of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
Initially created as Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations (French: Brantford—Brant-Sud—Six Nations), the riding's name was changed in 2026 as part of Bill C-25 of the 45th Canadian Parliament.[2][3]
Upcoming By-Election
As MP Larry Brock has announced he will be resigning his seat effective September 18, 2026,[4] the riding will be vacant until a by-election is called. The Prime Minister may call a by-election up to 6 months after the resignation takes effect.[5]
Geography
Under the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution the riding largely replaced Brantford—Brant and also gained the remainder of the County of Brant from the Oxford riding. The rest of the County of Brant moved to the new riding of Flamborough—Glanbrook—Brant North.[1] The riding name refers to the Six Nations of the Grand River which is the largest First Nations reserve in Canada.[6]
