Provincial electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada
Saskatoon Southeast is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Since a boundary redraw in 2012, it currently encompasses the Saskatoon neighbourhoods of Lakeridge, Lakeview, Lakewood and Rosewood as well as portions of Wildwood and Briarwood.[1]
History
The district was created in 1988 for the 1991 general election as Saskatoon Wildwood, encompassing the Wildwood, Rosewood, Lakewood, Briarwood, The Willows and Stonebridge neighbourhoods of Saskatoon. Before the 1995 general election, the district was reconfigured and expanded to include the rural communities of Grasswood, Floral, Furdale and part of the Rural Municipality of Corman Park. This rural territory was moved to Saskatoon Stonebridge-Dakota in 2012, making it again into an entirely urban constituency for the 2016 general election, this time centered in the neighbourhoods of Lakeview, Lakeridge and Rosewood. For the next general election, the district will be shifted further to the southeast, losing most of Lakeview to Saskatoon Eastview and gaining Briarwood from Saskatoon Stonebridge-Dakota.
This district has historically been one of the safest seats for the Saskatchewan Party in Saskatoon, having returned Saskatchewan Party MLAs in every election since the 2003 general election. It was one of the first three Saskatoon area seats the party won that year since its formation in 1997.
