History

edit

The riding was created as Saskatoon Northwest for the 1995 general election as a mixed urban and rural district out of parts of Biggar, Saskatoon River Heights and Saskatoon Idylwyld. The riding contained the neighbourhoods of Lawson Heights and Silverwood Heights, as well as the adjacent area of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park north and west of the South Saskatchewan River. The riding lost most of its rural territory to Martensville-Warman for the 2016 general election, and gained the largely industrial area around the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport.

For the 2024 general election, the riding gained significant territory east of the Chief Mistawasis Bridge, including Aspen Ridge and surrounding undeveloped area, from Saskatoon Silverspring-Sutherland and Saskatoon Willowgrove. As part of this change, the riding was renamed Saskatoon Chief Mistawasis.
