Edmonton-Norwood
Edmonton-Norwood was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The District was created from the Edmonton district in 1959 and was abolished in 2004 when it merged with Edmonton-Highlands to form Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood. The district was a swing riding and was held by every major party in Alberta. The district has seen a couple of floor crossings and was the only urban seat held by the Alberta Alliance Party.
In 2004 Gary Masyk ran a vigorous campaign to save the district from being abolished, and to reduce the effect of Edmonton losing seats to Calgary.
