Contents

The Member of the Legislative Assembly since 2021 is John White of the Progressive Conservative Party of Nova Scotia.

In 2003, the district lost a small area at its southern tip to Cape Breton West. [1] Following the 2019 redistribution, it gained the Dominion area from Cape Breton Centre and was re-named Glace Bay-Dominion.
