York Branch Today

The area covered by the branch has recently increased after the inclusion of an area from the Oshawa Branch. The York board now covers the geographical area between Mono/Adjala Town Line and Highway 50 in the west to a portion of Durham Region in the east.  York Branch has a membership of slightly less the 1000 members which are distributed among 15 federal  and provincial ridings. See below for a list of federal ridings

A branch’s “boundaries” are really driven by the postal codes that are allocated to the branch; the lines on a map don’t strictly define the boundary lines. Branch boundary lines are outlined graphically for easy viewing purposes, and in such a way that the allocated postal codes are sort of smoothly encompassed within the drawn lines.
