Olds-Didsbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Olds-Didsbury was a provincial electoral district in central southern Alberta, Canada. The riding was created in 1963 as a merger between the Olds and Didsbury ridings.
In 1997 the riding merged with the north part of Three Hills-Airdrie to form Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills, the south part became Airdrie-Rocky View.
This riding was home to the most famous By-Election in Alberta history, when the separatist Western Canada Concept achieved victory in 1982.
