Electoral district history


The riding was created in 1993 when the district of Fort McMurray shrank to encompass the northern Alberta city. Athabasca-Wabasca completely covered the same boundaries except for the city of Fort McMurray. The riding was abolished in the 2004 electoral boundary re-distribution when the district of Fort McMurray merged and formed Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo.[2] The south part of the riding became part of Athabasca-Redwater.

The riding encompassed most of the extreme north east part of the province.
