Canora-Pelly is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada.

Contents

Located in east-central Saskatchewan, this constituency is made up of one of the province's most densely populated rural areas. The economy is based on mixed farming, primarily in the northern areas. The southern portion of the region relies mainly on straight grain farming. Duck Mountain Provincial Park and Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park are also located in this constituency.

In 1899, much of the territory now covered by the Canora-Pelly district fell within the block settlement land grant that became the first Canadian home of the Doukhobors. The village of Veregin, named after Doukhobor leader Peter Verigin, was the central hub of the settlement.

The largest communities are Canora and Kamsack, with populations of 2,013 and 1,713, respectively. Other centres in the riding include the towns of Preeceville, Norquay, Springside, and Sturgis; and the villages of Pelly, Theodore, Endeavour, Buchanan, and Ebenezer (formerly "Ebenezer Valley").

History

The constituency was created by the Representation Act, 1994 (Saskatchewan) out of the former districts of Canora and Pelly and was first contested in the 1995 general election.

Before the 2003 general election, the riding was significantly reconfigured, swapping large areas of territory to and from Kelvington-Wadena and also gaining the northern portion of the former Saltcoats riding. [1] For the 2016 general election, the riding lost its northern sections to Carrot River Valley and gained some territory from Melville-Saltcoats and Yorkton, including the area immediately surrounding the Yorkton city limits.

Before the next general election, the riding will expand westward and gain territory from Last Mountain-Touchwood and Kelvington-Wadena, including the villages of Invermay and Theodore.
