Charlevoix—Saguenay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlevoix—Saguenay was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1925 to 1949.

This riding was created in 1924 from parts of Charlevoix—Montmorency and Chicoutimi—Saguenay ridings.

It initially consisted of the Counties of Charlevoix-East, Charlevoix-West and Saguenay, l'Isle-aux-Coudres, the territories of Ashuanipi and New Quebec, the Island of Anticosti and the County of Montmorency No. 1, excluding the municipalities of St. Jean de Boischatel, L'Ange Gardien and Ste. Brigitte de Laval.

In 1933, it was redefined to consist of

the counties of Charlevoix-East and Charlevoix-West and l'Ile aux Coudres;
the county of Saguenay and the Island of Anticosti;
the county of Montmorency No. 1, excepting the parts included in the municipalities of St-Jean-de-Boischatel and l'Ange-Gardien; and
the territory of New Quebec.

The district was abolished in 1947 when it was redistributed into Charlevoix and Saguenay ridings.
