Alberta Electoral Boundaries

Every 10 years, ridings are reviewed based on population by the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission. Things are changing for 2027.
They released an initial report with proposed changes on October 27, 2025. 

• Written responses were accepted in December 19, 2025. 
• Public Meetings will be held in January 2026
• Final report to legislature expected by the end of March 2026
• There are likely significant changes to Calgary-Shaw. The initial proposal would mean communities WEST of Macleod Trail and parts of Chaparral would leave Shaw, but we would gain Cranston. Wolf Willow, Legacy and Waldon are not expected to be impacted.
