Calgary-Mackay-Nose Hill was a provincial electoral district in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting from 2012 to 2019.

History

[edit]

The electoral district was created in the 2010 Alberta boundary re-distribution. It was created when Calgary-Mackay and Calgary-Nose Hill were merged along with a large chunk of Calgary-McCall.[1]

The Calgary-Mackay-Nose Hill electoral district was dissolved in the 2017 electoral boundary re-distribution into Calgary-Beddington and Calgary-North electoral districts ahead of the 2019 Alberta general election.[2]
