Virtually unchanged except for some minor boundary adjustments. In the southwest this riding takes a narrow, north-south strip from Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre just north of Regina and along the east side of Highway 6. On the east border it has an arrow-shaped extension into Yorkton—Melville narrowing to a point west of Melville that is shaped by two roads with centres on them and gives Qu'Appelle more voters. The northwest corner is a corner now and no longer follows the border of Big Quill Lake (no voters involved).
Electoral History
Qu’Appelle was taken from the Northwest Territories in 1905 for the new Saskatchewan. In 1957, it was won on his fourth try in the region by PC Alvin Hamilton, the architect of Diefenbaker’s first national win, which was without Quebec. He was Northern Affairs, then Agriculture Minister and when the riding became Qu’Appelle-Moose Mountain for the 1968 vote and Hamilton switched to Regina East and lost while Moose Mountain Tory MP Dick Southam won here.
Southam quit after a term andit had Hamilton 1972-1988. Regina-Qu’Appelle: Simon de Jong of the NDP won in 1988-1997 when he retired to allow Lorne Nystrom to run.
Nystrom held Yorkton- Melville 1968-1993 when he lost. Nystrom won here in both 1997 and by a hair in 2000 but lost to Conservative Andrew Scheer in 2004 and Scheer won a rematch in 2006 and in 2008 and 2011.
