Saskatoon—Humboldt was a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1968 to 1979, and from 1988 to 2015.

## Geography

[edit]

The riding consisted of the northeastern quadrant of Saskatoon and the city of Humboldt and the rural towns of Naicam, Wakaw and Watson. The riding extended to Quill Lake in the east, Pleasantdale in the northeast and St. Louis in the north.

## History

[edit]

This electoral district was first created in 1966 from Humboldt—Melfort, Rosthern (electoral district), and Saskatoon ridings. It was abolished in 1976 and divided amongst Humboldt—Lake Centre, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon East ridings.

It was re-created in 1987 from Humboldt—Lake Centre, Prince Albert, and Saskatoon East ridings and was abolished again in 2013. Most of the Saskatoon portion became part of Saskatoon—University, with a smaller portion going to Saskatoon—Grasswood. The rural portion was split among Carlton Trail—Eagle Creek, Yorkton—Melville, and Moose Jaw—Lake Centre—Lanigan.

### Political geography

[edit]

Once a safe Liberal seat, the NDP took over the new creation in 1988. The Liberals stole it back in 1993, but the Reform party and its successor the Canadian Alliance took it over with a strong win in 2000. However, the riding remained split three ways between the Liberals, the new Conservative Party and the NDP. In 2004, with the incumbent, Jim Pankiw running as an independent on the ticket made for the closest four-way race in the country with the winning party receiving just 26.7% of the vote just 4.5 points ahead of the fourth place finisher.
