Carlton Trail-Eagle Creek was a new riding for the 2015 federal election, which surrounds Saskatoon on three sides. Conservative MP Kelly Block is seeking re-election.
A rural seat, it broadly extends outward from Saskatoon as far north as Leask and Duck Lake, as far east as Humboldt, as far west as Biggar, and as far southwest as Rosetown.
Kelly Block took 64.7 per cent of the vote in 2015, with the NDP’s Glenn Wright a distant second with 18.7 per cent.
