Lloydminster is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada.
The riding was last contested in the 2020 general election, when it returned Saskatchewan Party MLA Colleen Young.
The constituency includes the Saskatchewan side of the city of Lloydminster and areas to the north and east of the city, including the towns of Marshall, Pierceland, and Paradise Hill.
History
[edit]A district called Lloydminster was created for the 1908 general election and dissolved before the 1934 general election. From 1934 to 1995, the Lloydminster area was included in the Cut Knife constituency, which was renamed Cut Knife-Lloydminster in 1964.
The modern Lloydminster constituency was reconstituted for the 1995 general election, mostly from Cut Knife-Lloydminster, along with parts of Meadow Lake, Turtleford and Redberry, encompassing urban Lloydminster and areas directly east of the city including the towns of Turtleford, Maidstone and Paradise Hill.
The district was significantly reconfigured before the 2003 general election, losing most areas south and east of Lloydminster to the newly created Cut Knife-Turtleford while gaining a large area north of Lloydminster (along the Alberta border) from Meadow Lake.[1] The district has not been significantly reconfigured since 2003, but it lost a small amount of territory to Meadow Lake before the 2016 general election, largely due to population growth in the city of Lloydminster. An area immediately southeast of the Lloydminster city limits (including the town of Marshall) will move to Cut Knife-Turtleford for the next general election for similar reasons.
Lloydminster originally returned an NDP member after its creation, but has returned Saskatchewan Party members since the 1999 general election.[2]
