Last updated

Qu'Appelle was a territorial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of North-West Territories, Canada. The riding was created as a single member electoral district by royal proclamation in 1883. In 1885 the riding was mandated to return two members to the Assembly (elected by block voting). In 1888 the riding was split into North Qu'Appelle and South Qu'Appelle. The redistribution was caused by the North-West Representation Act 1880 passing through the Parliament of Canada.
