Han Dong has won the riding of Don Valley North for the Liberals.

Dong has represente­d the riding in the House of Commons since 2019. Prior to that, he was MPP for the former riding of Trinity-Spadina from 2014 to 2018. In the 2018 election, Trinity-Spadina became SpadinaFor­t York, and Dong was unseated by NDP candidate Chris Glover.

Dong still resides in the Spadina-Fort York area.

Dong successful­ly fended off challenges from Conservati­ve Sabrina Zuniga, a consultant, New Democrat Bruce Griffin, a retired film editor and Green candidate Natalie Telfer, a former bookkeeper who now works at Community Living. Dong serves as co-chair of the Canada-China Legislativ­e Associatio­n.

The riding has a population of slightly over 110,000, of whom 62 per cent are immigrants. Fifteen per cent of the riding immigrated from China and 31 per cent identify as Chinese.
