Calgary Centre (formerly known as '''Calgary South Centre''') is a federal Electoral District in Alberta , Canada , that has been represented in the Canadian House Of Commons since 1968. It is an 42 km&2 riding in the city of Calgary with 124,197 people. The riding has a relatively higher average household income and education level. However, it is a significantly lower home ownership rate compared to the rest of Canada.

The electoral district was created in 1966 from the former electoral districts of Calgary North and Calgary South . It was abolished in the 2003 Representation Order when parts of it went to the neighbouring electoral districts of Calgary North Centre and Calgary West and to Calgary South Centre. The latter was re-named Calgary Centre in 2004. The Calgary South Centre district was created in 2003 Representation Order from 70,972 people from the abolished district of Calgary Centre, 38,889 people from Calgary West and 7,578 from Calgary Southwest .

The riding gained notoriety in 2000 when residents elected former Prime Minister Joe Clark , representing the Progressive Conservative s, making the riding one of the only areas in Alberta that did not elect someone from the similarly conservative Canadian Alliance .
