Regina–Qu'Appelle (formerly Qu'Appelle) is a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1968 and since 1988.

Geography

The district includes the northeastern quarter of the city of Regina and the surrounding eastern rural area including the towns of Balgonie, Fort Qu'Appelle, Indian Head, Qu'Appelle, Pilot Butte, and White City; extending northwards to the towns of Southey, Cupar, Raymore, Punnichy, and Wynyard.

History

The Qu'Appelle riding was first created in 1903 and covered the Northwest Territories, including what would later be Saskatchewan. In 1905, the district was amended to just cover Saskatchewan.[3]

In 1966, Qu'Appelle riding was abolished when it was redistributed between the Qu'Appelle—Moose Mountain, Regina—Lake Centre, Regina East and Assiniboia ridings.[4]

In 1987, Regina—Qu'Appelle was created from parts of the Assiniboia, Humboldt—Lake Centre, Qu'Appelle–Moose Mountain and Regina East ridings.[5]

The riding was known as Qu'Appelle from 1996 to 1998.[6] In 1998, its name was changed back to Regina—Qu'Appelle.[7]

This riding gained fractions of territory from Palliser, Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre and Blackstrap during the 2012 electoral redistribution. It became the only hybrid urban-rural riding in the Regina area after the 2012 redistribution.
