Calgary Heritage is a federal electoral district in Alberta.
Calgary Heritage was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the calling of the 42nd Canadian federal election, which was held on 19 October 2015. It is essentially a reconfigured version of Calgary Southwest, the former riding of Stephen Harper, who served as the Prime Minister of Canada from 2006 until his party was defeated in 2015. Territory from the former Calgary Southwest comprises 99% of the new riding, while territory from Calgary Southeast makes up 1%.[2]
While Harper was handily reelected to this riding in the 2015 election, his Conservatives lost their bid for a fresh mandate.[3] Harper handed over power to new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on November 4, 2015, and will continue as a backbench MP for the time being.
