Calgary-South East riding profile

The 2017 expanded Calgary city limit pushed the city boundaries further south and east of this riding south of Stoney Trail S.E. and east of the Bow River.

It contains Cranston west of Deerfoot Trail and Auburn Bay with its lake, Seton and Mahogany east of Deerfoot Trail.

Less than eight per cent of the income is from government in pension, UI, or welfare.

Once again, communities cover a large area because lots are very large. House prices are a third above the provincial average as is family income.

Almost one in five families makes over $120,000 a year. The low-income segment is very small.

Professional services and the retail trade lead in jobs.

  • 33,385 electors according to February 2023 data
  • Current MLA: Matt Jones, UCP
  • 2019 voter turnout: 71.2%

ELECTION HISTORY

Calgary-South East was created 1959, was absorbed in subsequent redisgributions, and reappeared in 2010 in much the same area which had a very Tory background.

Art Johnson, who had held Calgary-Hays 2004-2008, tried for the nomination here and lost to Rick Fraser, who went on to win the 2012 vote and a tight 2015 vote.

Fraser went from being UCP to Independent, then in the Alberta Party, and lost in 2019 to UCP’s Matt Jones.
