Athabasca-Wabasca was a provincial electoral district in Alberta mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using first-past-the-post balloting from 1993 to 2004.[1]
The riding was created in 1993 when the district of Fort McMurray shrank to encompass the northern Alberta city. Athabasca-Wabasca completely covered the same boundaries except for the city of Fort McMurray. The riding was abolished in the 2004 electoral boundary re-distribution when the district of Fort McMurray merged and formed Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo.[2] The south part of the riding became part of Athabasca-Redwater.
The riding encompassed most of the extreme north east part of the province.
