Information About

Dunvegan-central Peace




Following the Alberta Electoral Boundary Re-distribution of 2004 , Dunvegan was the only division with a population of less than 75% the provincial average, with its recorded population of 24,202. As a result, it is formally designated as a ''special consideration'' division as opposed to a standard rural division. Due to its isolation, the constituency meets criteria in the Albertan election laws that allow for this discrepancy. Prior to 2004 the district was named Dunvegan , the boundaries did not significantly change.

The constituency lies on the border with British Columbia . Major towns include Fairview , Falher , Grimshaw and Spirit River . The riding contains a large agricultural industry based on cattle farming, the border closure to live beef has hurt the riding.

The current MLA for this district is Progressive Conservative Hector Goudreau . He was re-elected in the district in the 26th Alberta General Election in a near photo finish race with Dale Lueken from the Alberta Alliance .

Peace River borders to the north and east. Lesser Slave Lake borders to the east. Grande Prairie Smoky and Grande Prairie Wapiti border to the south. Peace River South borders to the west in British Columbia
