Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada, mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using first-past-the-post balloting from 2012 to 2019. The district was created in the 2010 boundary redistribution, and was first contested in the 2012 election. It was last contested in the 2015 election, when it returned Dave Hanson of the Wildrose Party.
History
Boundary history The electoral district was created in the 2010 Alberta boundary re-distribution. It was created from the electoral district of Lac La Biche-St. Paul which was altered to bound current municipal boundaries. Two Hills was added to the name at the request of local residents.
The Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended splitting the district up in 2017, creating Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche and Bonnyville-Cold Lake-St. Paul, while transferring the area around Two Hills to Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville and a small area to Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock.
