Acadie—Annapolis
Template:Short description Template:Use Canadian English Template:Use mdy dates Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other Acadie—Annapolis (formerly West Nova) is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.
South Western Nova and South West Nova were ridings that covered roughly the same geographic area and were represented in the House of Commons from 1968 to 1979 and 1979 to 1997, respectively.
The district is rural with a few small towns and communities located along the coast. The riding has been called a microcosm of rural Canada because it includes fishing, farming, tourism, small business and an English-French mix.[1]
History
The electoral district was created in 1966 from "Digby—Annapolis—Kings" and "Shelburne—Yarmouth—Clare" ridings. It was composed of Yarmouth County, Digby County, and the western portion of Annapolis County.
In 1978, it gained the eastern portion of Annapolis County from "Annapolis Valley".
In 1996, Seal Island was added and the name was changed from "South West Nova" to "West Nova".
In 2004, 20 percent of "Kings—Hants" was added to the district. The boundaries remained unchanged as per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution. From 1968 until 2004, the Riding was notable for never having elected a single person to a second consecutive term until Robert Thibault won in 2004.
Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed Acadie—Annapolis. It lost some territory (Berwick area) in Kings County to Kings—Hants.[2] These changes came into effect upon the calling of the 2025 Canadian federal election.
