| Description |
This riding takes in a rural area east of the Strathcona riding in east-central Alberta, then reaches west to the Edmonton city limits to encompass the city of Fort Saskatchewan. Other communities here include Tofield, Mundare, Lamont, Bruderheim and Vegreville. The riding is a creation of the 2004 redistribution, involving the merger of a large portion of the old Vegreville-Viking riding with the northern reaches of the former Clover Bar-Fort Saskatchewan riding.
Manufacturing and agriculture provide most of the jobs in this riding, and contribute to average household incomes of $55,734, somewhat below the provincial average. Also below average are the number of residents considered low income: 8.3 per cent. Seventy-two per cent of people here were born in Alberta, and almost 14 per cent are of Ukrainian origin. Just over five per cent are immigrants.
