Saskatoon—Wanuskewin was a federal electoral district (also called riding) in Saskatchewan, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2015. (In the Cree language: ᐋᐧᓇᐢᑫᐃᐧᐣ / wânaskêwin means, "being at peace with oneself".) It covered a part of the city of Saskatoon.

Geography

The riding included the northwest quadrant of Saskatoon and extended north past Duck Lake, northwest past Lucky Man and west past Ruddell. The riding also included the cities of Warman and Martensville.

History

It was created in 1996 as "Wanuskewin" from Saskatoon—Clark's Crossing and portions of Kindersley—Lloydminster, Prince Albert—Churchill River and The Battlefords—Meadow Lake ridings.

In 2000, it was renamed "Saskatoon—Wanuskewin".

The electoral district was abolished in 2013 and now is contained within the bounds of Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek.
