Redistribution of Canadian electoral ridings
The federal electoral redistribution of 2012 was a redistribution of electoral districts (also known as ridings in Canadian English) in Canada following the results of the 2011 Canadian census. As a result of amendments to the Constitution Act, 1867, the number of seats in the House of Commons of Canada increased from 308 to 338. The previous electoral redistribution was in 2003.http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=cir/red&document=index&lang=e Redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts Elections Canada 2015-06-30 2015-07-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20150708055719/http://elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=cir/red&document=index&lang=e live
The redistribution was implemented by proclamation under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act on October 5, 2013, and came into effect upon the dissolution of the 41st Canadian Parliament on August 2, 2015. http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SI-2013-102/FullText.html reg Proclamation declaring the Representation Order to be in Force effective on the First dissolution of Parliament that Occurs after May 1, 2014 SI/2013-102, reported in the Canada Gazette, Part II, Vol. 147, Extra, October 5, 2013 The resulting electoral districts and boundaries were used in the 2015, the 2019, and the 2021 federal elections.
Federal electoral districts were next redistributed in 2022, which came into effect upon the dissolution of the 44th Canadian Parliament on March 23, 2025.
Background and previous attempts at reform
Prior to 2012, the redistribution rules for increasing the number of seats in the House of Commons of Canada was governed by section 51 of the Constitution Act, 1867, as last amended in 1985. As early as 2007, attempts were made to reform the calculation of how that number was determined, as the 1985 formula did not fully take into account the rapid population growth being experienced in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Parliament/LegislativeSummaries/bills_ls.asp?source=library_prb&ls=C56&Parl=39&Ses=1&Language=E&Mode=1 Bill C-56: An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Democratic representation) (LS-561E) Barnes André 16 August 2007 Library of Parliament, Law and Government Division 25 September 2015 26 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150926031057/http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Parliament/LegislativeSummaries/bills_ls.asp?source=library_prb&ls=C56&Parl=39&Ses=1&Language=E&Mode=1 live

Passage of the Fair Representation Act (2011)
The expansion of the House from 308 seats to 338 seats was pursuant to the Fair Representation Act, which came into force on December 16, 2011.Fair Representation Act S.C. 2011 26 http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/AnnualStatutes/2011_26/FullText.html In introducing the bill, the government's stated aims were:https://web.archive.org/web/20131210225104/http://www.democraticreform.gc.ca/eng/content/fair-representation-act-moves-every-province-towards-rep-pop Fair Representation Act Moves Every Province Towards Rep-By-Pop http://www.democraticreform.gc.ca/eng/content/fair-representation-act-moves-every-province-towards-rep-pop 2013-12-10 2011-10-27
allocating more seats to better reflect population grown in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta;
maintaining the number of seats for slower-growing provinces; and
maintaining the proportional representation of Quebec according to population.
The act replaced s. 51(1) of the Constitution Act, 1867 with the following formula:Fair Representation Act, s. 2
Divide the estimated population of a province by a determined electoral quotient (initially set at 111,166).
If the number of members determined is less than what a province had in 1985, increase its seat count to that number (the "grandfather clause").
If a province's population was overrepresented in the House of Commons at the completion of the last redistribution process, and would now be under-represented based on the calculations above, give it extra seats so that its share of House of Commons seats is proportional to its share of the population (the "representation rule").
Add one seat for each of the territories.
The 1985 minimum has two components:
No province can have fewer members of Parliament than it has senators (the "senatorial clause").Constitution Act, 1867 51A http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/Const/section-51a.html
Otherwise, the calculation determined in 1985 under the Constitution Act, 1985 (Representation) will govern the amount.

The addition of three seats in Quebec marked the first time since the adoption of the 1985 electoral redistribution formula that any province besides Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia gained new seats.
Process of redistribution
The allocation of seats to the provinces and territories was based on rules in the Constitution of Canada as well as population estimates made by Statistics Canada based on the 2006 Canadian census (in particular, the allocation is based on an estimate for the population as of July 1, 2011, "based on 2006 Census population counts adjusted for census net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated Indian reserves").http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=cir/red/allo&document=index&lang=e House of Commons Seat Allocation by Province Elections Canada 2015-01-20 2015-01-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20150120100538/http://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=cir/red/allo&document=index&lang=e liveStatistics Canada Table 2: Annual population estimates https://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/110928/t110928a2-eng.htm The Daily 2011-09-28 2015-01-19 2015-01-16 https://web.archive.org/web/20150116001242/http://statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/110928/t110928a2-eng.htm live
A final report was tabled October 2013, with the changes proclaimed to take effect as of the first dissolution of Parliament occurring after May 1, 2014. The names of some ridings were changed when the Riding Name Change Act, 2014 came into force on June 19, 2014.Riding Name Change Act, 2014 S.C. 2014 19 http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/AnnualStatutes/2014_19/FullText.html
In a report issued in 2014, Elections Canada noted: "While some administrative tasks remained to be done after that point, Elections Canada's role of supporting the federal electoral boundaries commissions, which had worked for up to 18 months in their respective provinces, was complete." The report concluded that "the process for the 2012 redistribution of federal electoral boundaries was a success".https://publications.gc.ca/pub?id=9.699349&sl=0 Elections Canada Elections Canada Ottawa 2012 Redistribution of Federal Electoral Districts: Process Assessment Report 2014 7, 25 2022-02-03 2023-08-27 https://web.archive.org/web/20230827231930/https://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/9.699349/publication.html live

Compared to the House of Commons seat allocation in effect for the 41st Canadian Parliament (which convened in 2011), the changes were as follows:
+ Redistribution by province and territory Province Seats ± Initial report Final reportAlbertahttps://www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=ab&dir=now/proposals&document=index&lang=e Proposed Boundaries – Alberta - Redistribution Federal Electoral Districts www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca 2023-08-27 2023-03-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20230324152930/https://www.redecoupage-federal-redistribution.ca/content.asp?section=ab&dir=now/proposals&document=index&lang=e live346Banff—Airdrie: Created mostly out of the southern portion of Wild Rose and a small part of Macleod south of Cochrane. Contains the Highway corridor west of Calgary to the B.C. border as well as Calgary's northern exurbs.
Battle River: Created out of the southern half of Vegreville—Wainwright and the northern half of Crowfoot and a small part of the eastern part of Red Deer. Contains much of rural Central Eastern Alberta. Named for the Battle River which flows through it.
Bow River: Created out of the eastern half of Macleod, the northwestern corner of Medicine Hat and the southwestern quadrannt of Crowfoot. Contains the Highway 1 corridor east of Calgary past Brooks. The riding also includes Vulcan and the Highway 2 corridor roughly between Nanton and Fort Macleod. Named for the Bow River which flows through it.
Calgary Centre: This riding shifts eastward, moving the western boundary to 37 St SW and moving the eastern boundary to the Bow River.
Calgary Confederation: Created mostly from Calgary Centre-North, except losing the area north of McKnight Blvd and John Laurie Blvd. It also takes in the part of Calgary West north of the Bow River and east of Nose Hill Drive and Stony Trail. Named for Confederation Park.
Calgary Forest Lawn: Created mostly from parts of Calgary Northeast and Calgary Southeast and newly annexed territory of the City of Calgary that is now in the riding of Crowfoot. The riding takes in the part of Calgary Northeast south of a line following McKnight Blvd to Falconbridge Blvd to 32nd Ave and takes in the part of Calgary Southeast north of a line following the Bow River to 32 Ave SE to the CNR to 17 Ave SE. Riding named for the neighbourhood of Forest Lawn.
Calgary Heritage: Created mostly out of Calgary Southwest, except a few small parts of Calgary Southeast caused by adjusting the eastern boundary of the riding to follow Macleod Trail. The southern boundary of the riding is also adjusted compared to Calgary Southwest, as it would follow 24 St SW to Spruce Meadows Trail to James McKevitt Rd. The riding is likely named for Heritage Park.
Calgary McCall: Created almost entirely out of Calgary Northeast except for newly annexed territory of the City of Calgary now in the riding of Wild Rose. The riding would contain all of Calgary Northeast not in the proposed riding of Calgary Forest Lawn. The riding is likely named after the McCall Industrial Park or the provincial riding of the same name.
Calgary Midnapore: Created mostly out of Calgary Southeast but also contains parts of Calgary Southwest, Calgary East and newly annexed territory by the city of Calgary in the current riding of Macleod. The riding follows the Bow River to Glenmore Trail to Macleod Trail to James McKevitt Rd. The riding is named after the Midnapore neighbourhood.
Calgary Nose Hill: Apart from losing the emdash in the riding name, this riding loses all of its territory north of Stoney Trail and west of Sacree Trail and John Laurie Blvd. However, the riding also gains some territory from Calgary Centre-North. This is the area north of a line following John Laurie Blvd to McKnight Blvd. The riding name most likely comes from Nose Hill Park.
Calgary Shepard: This riding is created out of parts of Calgary East and Calgary Southeast as well as newly annexed parts of the city of Calgary now in Crowfoot. The riding would be bounded on the west by the Bow River and on the north by a line following 26 Ave SE to the CNR to 17 Ave SE. The riding is named after the former hamlet of Shepard, which was annexed by Calgary in 2007.
Calgary Signal Hill: This riding is mostly created out of Calgary West, except for newly annexed parts of the City of Calgary now in Macleod and that part of Calgary Centre west of 37 Ave SW. The riding would contain all of Calgary Southwest south the Bow River. The riding is named after the neighbourhood of the same name.
Calgary Rocky Ridge: This riding is created mostly out of Calgary—Nose Hill except for some new areas contained in newly annexed territories of the City of Calgary now in Wild Rose and the part of Calgary West not contained in Calgary Signal Hill or Calgary Confederation. The riding would consist of all of Calgary—Nose Hill not in the new riding of Calgary Nose Hill. The riding name comes from the neighbourhood of Rocky Ridge.
