| Description |
This riding is composed of the northwest part of Saskatoon, plus rural areas north and west of the city. The South Saskatchewan River forms part of the east boundary and the North Saskatchewan River forms part of the southern boundary. Outlying communities include Martensville, Rosthern and Duck Lake, and there are several small First Nations reserves.
The manufacturing and service sectors dominate in Saskatoon, while agriculture is the main occupation in the rural areas. More than 10 per cent of residents have a university degree. About five per cent of the population are immigrants. Unemployment was 5.9 per cent in 2001 and the average family income was $61,568.
Wanuskewin riding was formed in 1996 by combining two-thirds of Saskatoon-Clark's Crossing with smaller parts of four other ridings. The name was changed to Saskatoon-Wanuskewin in 2000. In the 2004 redistribution, about five per cent of the riding was carved away.
Population: 72,429
