Calgary-Nose Creek was a provincial electoral district in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting from 1993 to 2004. ^[1]

History

The Calgary-Nose Creek electoral district was created during the 1993 electoral boundary re-distribution from the Calgary-McKnight electoral district.

The Calgary-Nose Creek electoral district would be dissolved in the 2003 Alberta boundary re-distribution and would be re-distributed into the Calgary-Mackay and Calgary-Nose Hill electoral districts. ^[2]

The riding was named for the Nose Creek that winds its way through the northern part of Calgary.
