History
The Calgary-Nose Creek electoral district was created during the 1993 electoral boundary re-distribution from the Calgary-McKnight electoral district.
The Calgary-Nose Creek electoral district would be dissolved in the 2003 Alberta boundary re-distribution and would be re-distributed into the Calgary-Mackay and Calgary-Nose Hill electoral districts.[2]
The riding was named for the Nose Creek that winds its way through the northern part of Calgary.
