Contents

Following the Alberta electoral boundary re-distribution of 2004, Dunvegan was the only division with a population of less than 75% the provincial average, with its recorded population of 24,202. It is thus formally designated as a special consideration division, as opposed to a standard rural division. Because of its isolation, the constituency meets criteria in the Albertan election laws allowing for this discrepancy. Until 2004, the district of Dunvegan, with almost the same boundaries.

The constituency laid on the border with British Columbia. Major towns include Fairview, Falher, Grimshaw and Spirit River. The riding contained a large agricultural industry based on cattle farming, the border closure to live beef hurt the riding.

Peace River borders to the north and east. Lesser Slave Lake borders to the east. Grande Prairie Smoky and Grande Prairie Wapiti border to the south. Peace River South borders to the west in British Columbia

Electoral history

The electoral district of Dunvegan-Central peace was created from Dunvegan in the 2003 electoral boundary re-distribution. [3] The first election in the new district was hotly contested between Progressive Conservative Hector Goudreau and Dale Lueken from the Alberta Alliance.

Lueken and Goudreau would face each other again in the 2008 general election. Goudreau easily held his seat and gained popular vote against Leuken. The construction of a nuclear power plant became a significant issue in that race.

The Dunvegan-Central Peace electoral district was dissolved following the 2010 electoral boundary re-distribution to form Dunvegan-Central Peace-Notley. [4]
