Meadow Lake is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Incorporated as a city in 2009, Meadow Lake (pop. 5,045) is the largest centre in the constituency. The riding was last contested in the 2020 election, when incumbent Saskatchewan Party MLA Jeremy Harrison was re-elected.

Contents

Smaller communities in the riding include the villages of Green Lake, Loon Lake, Leoville, and Goodsoil; and the town of St. Walburg.

History

The riding was first contested in the 1934 general election. From the 1952 general election until the 1971 general election, Meadow Lake also included the remote far northwest corner of the province, including the northern villages of Île-à-la-Crosse and La Loche. About half of this northern area was transferred back to Athabasca prior to the 1971 election, and the remainder transferred 1975 general election, finalizing Meadow Lake's present northern boundary.

The most recent major boundary change took place before the 2003 general election, when the riding was shifted eastward to take in the northwestern third of the former Shellbrook-Spiritwood constituency, losing its western portion (including Pierceland and the border with Alberta) to Lloydminster. Aside from minor adjustments before the 2016 general election, the district's boundaries have remained largely the same since 2003.
