Riding Info
This riding is bounded by the Calgary city limits in the north and east, by the Trans-Canada Highway in the south and by the Deerfoot Trail Northeast, Beddington Trail Northeast, Harvest Hills North and Centre Street North in the west.
This riding was created in 1986, largely from the Calgary East riding. In 1996, 40 per cent of its residents were redistributed, partly made up by gaining 23 per cent from Calgary North. In 2004, another 22 per cent were redistributed into other ridings.
Population: 129,015 (2006 census; an increase of 18% since 2001)
Political History
In 2008, Conservative Devinder Shory held the seat for his party by 11,482 votes over Liberal Sanam Kang. The riding had been held by Art Hanger of the Conservatives, and the Reform and Canadian Alliance parties, since 1993. His wins were never narrower than 5,000 votes. In 2004, he defeated Liberal Dale Muti by 13,252 votes. Hanger continued his winning streak in the 2006 election by defeating Liberal Jaswinder S. Johal by 17,928 votes.
Before Hanger, Tories dominated in this area. Alex Kindy won the seat in 1984 and 1988, but was expelled from the PC caucus in 1990 after opposing the GST.
