The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended abolishing Strathmore-Brooks and Chestermere-Rocky View, completely reorganizing the ridings surrounding Calgary to reflect the rapid growth in the area.[2]
Leela Aheer stood down at the 2023 Alberta general election and was succeeded by Chantelle de Jonge.[3]
