Fredericton-Silverwood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fredericton-Silverwood is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

It was created in 1973 as Fredericton South and included those portions of the old multi-member district of Fredericton south of the St. John River. It lost eastern territory in the 1994 electoral redistribution to the new district of Fredericton-Fort Nashwaak and again lost eastern territory in 2006 this time to the new district of Fredericton-Lincoln.

Its name was changed in 2006 to Fredericton-Silverwood to prevent confusion among city residents who would identify with "Fredericton South" as residents of the south side of the St. John River, many of whom were not in the district.
