This is the first time the riding is in effect after boundaries were redrawn. A portion of this riding used to be Calgary-Fort.
In 2015, the NDP’s Joe Ceci won the riding of Calgary-Fort, which had been represented by Wayne Cao — who did not seek re-election — of the Progressive Conservatives since 1997.
Ceci is running in the Calgary-Buffalo riding.
