Calgary-Nose Hill history
The Calgary-Nose Hill electoral district was created in the 2003 electoral boundary re-distribution from portions of Calgary-Foothills, Calgary-North Hill and Calgary-Nose Creek electoral districts.[2] The riding was named after Nose Hill Park in Calgary.
The Calgary-Nose Hill electoral district would be dissolved in the 2010 Alberta boundary re-distribution and would be re-distributed into the Calgary-Mackay-Nose Hill electoral district.[3]

On November 19, 2004, a student vote was conducted at participating Alberta schools to parallel the 2004 Alberta general election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who had not yet reached the legal majority. The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts, with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body who resided in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district than where they were physically located.
