Alberta Province of Canada

Alberta is a western province of Canada. With an estimated population of 4,067,175 as of 2016 census, it is Canada's fourth most populous province and the most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Its area is about 660,000 square kilometres (250,000 sq mi). Alberta and its neighbour Saskatchewan were districts of the Northwest Territories until they were established as provinces on September 1, 1905. The premier has been Rachel Notley since May 2015.

Canada Country in North America

Canada is a country in the northern part of North America. Its ten provinces and three territories extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward into the Arctic Ocean, covering 9.98 million square kilometres, making it the world's second-largest country by total area. Canada's southern border with the United States is the world's longest bi-national land border. Its capital is Ottawa, and its three largest metropolitan areas are Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. As a whole, Canada is sparsely populated, the majority of its land area being dominated by forest and tundra. Consequently, its population is highly urbanized, with over 80 percent of its inhabitants concentrated in large and medium-sized cities, many near the southern border. Canada's climate varies widely across its vast area, ranging from arctic weather in the north, to hot summers in the southern regions, with four distinct seasons.

Political career

Lee ran for a seat to the Alberta Legislature in the 1971 Alberta general election. He faced three other candidates in the new electoral district of Calgary-McKnight. Lee won the hotly contested race finishing ahead of Social Credit candidate Jim Richards to pick up the district for the Progressive Conservatives who formed government in that election. [2]

Calgary McKnight was a provincial electoral district covering the north central part of Calgary Alberta Canada. It was created from a merger of Calgary North and Calgary Queens Park during the election of 1971. The riding's boundaries expanded in 1993 and it was renamed to Calgary Nose Creek. Calgary McKnight was named because McKnight Blvd the main east west artery in the north at the time, cut through the middle of the riding.

Lee would retire from provincial politics at dissolution of the assembly in 1975.
