Geography

The district includes the northwestern part of the city of Regina and extends outward from Regina to Nokomis in the north, Davidson in the northwest and Tugaske in the west.

History

The electoral district was created as "Regina—Arm River" in 1996 from Regina—Lumsden and portions of Moose Jaw—Lake Centre, Mackenzie and Regina—Qu'Appelle ridings.

In 1997, its name was changed to "Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre".
