SCARBOROUG­HAGINCOURT

- Kieran Leavitt

The Liberals have held on to Scarboroug­h—Agincourt with a win from incumbent Jean Yip.

The riding has been a Liberal stronghold for decades. From 2014 to 2017, it was held by Yip’s husband, Arnold Chan, who died of cancer.

Yip won a byelection held to replace Chan in 2017 and has served as the member of Parliament for the riding ever since.

This year, Yip faced a challenge from Conservati­ve candidate Mark Johnson, a lawyer, and NDP candidate Larisa Julius, a university student.

Prior to her time in politics, Yip was an insurance profession­al.

In Parliament, she has sat on the standing committee for public accounts and the special committee on Canada-China relations.

Scarboroug­h-Agincourt is home to the neighbourh­oods of Steeles, L’Amoreaux, Tam O’Shanter-Sullivan, and parts of Agincourt and Milliken.

According to the 2106 census, this riding is home to 105,542 people and has 69,401 electors on the preliminar­y lists.
