Calgary Midnapore

Calgary Midnapore is a federal electoral district in Alberta. It encompasses a portion of Alberta previously included in the electoral districts of Calgary Southeast and Calgary Southwest.

Calgary Midnapore was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015. Had the election been called prior to April 2014, the previous electoral boundaries would have remained in effect.
