History

The Qu'Appelle riding was first created in 1903 and covered the Northwest Territories, including what would later be Saskatchewan. In 1905, the district was amended to just cover Saskatchewan.^[1]

In 1966, Qu'Appelle riding was abolished when it was redistributed between Qu'Appelle—Moose Mountain, Regina—Lake Centre, Regina East and Assiniboia ridings.^[2]

In 1987, Regina–Qu'Appelle was created from parts of the districts of Assiniboia, Humboldt—Lake Centre and Qu'Appelle–Moose Mountain ridings.^[3]

The riding was known as Qu'Appelle from 1996 to 1998.^[4] In 1998, its name was changed back to Regina–Qu'Appelle.^[5]
