Calgary Forest Lawn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calgary Forest Lawn was a provincial electoral district in central east Calgary from 1979 to the 1989 election. In 1979 the riding was carved out of the southern end of Calgary McCall. The riding disappeared in 1993 when it merged with part of Calgary Millican to re-form Calgary East.
The riding was named after the community and former town of Forest Lawn.
As one of the poorest communities in Calgary, Forest lawn suffers from high crime, litter, and graffiti. Efforts have been made to resolve the problem but have been largely ineffective and the area is largely seen in a negative fashion by the greater public.
