Quispamsis is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

Contents

It was created as Kennebecasis in 1994 and included the town of Quispamsis and surrounding communities along the Kennebecasis River Valley. The district was reduced in size following the 2006 electoral redistribution such that only the Town of Quispamsis were within it so its name was changed to reflect that. Quispamsis means little lake in the woods.

The district will remain relatively unchanged following the 2013 electoral redistribution, losing only some of its eastern polls to Hampton.

The former Premier and leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick, Blaine Higgs, represented Quispamsis. Higgs was re-elected in this district in 2014, 2018, and 2020. Higgs was defeated in the 2024 election. [2]
