Regina—Wascana (formerly Wascana) is a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1988.

Geography

[edit]

Most of the riding is within the provincial capital city of Regina, in southern Saskatchewan.

The riding is bordered on the south by Fifth Base Line; on the west by Albert Street; on the north-west by the Canadian Pacific Railway; on the north by Victoria Avenue; and on the east by Range Road 190.[2]

The riding is bordered on the south by Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan; on the west by Regina—Lewvan; and on the north and east by Regina—Qu'Appelle.[2] The riding lost significant territory in the 2012 re-distribution to Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan and Souris—Moose Mountain, but lost very little population.

History

[edit]

The electoral district was created in 1988 from Regina East, Regina West and Assiniboia. From 1993 to 2019, Ralph Goodale, who served as Minister of Finance and Minister of Public Safety, was the Member of Parliament. Between 2004 and 2015 (for the 38th through 41st Canadian Parliaments inclusive), Goodale was the only non-Conservative MP to serve a constituency in Saskatchewan. Along with Winnipeg North, Wascana was one of only two seats retained by the Liberals in the Prairie Provinces in the 2011 election.
