Calgary Fort is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, Canada. The Electoral District is named after historical Fort Calgary. The district lies in the Central SE of the city. The first election in Calgary Fort was in 1997, it was created out of Calgary East. The Riding covers some of the cities older blue collar neighborhoods including Forest Lawn, Dover, Inglewood, Lynwood Ridge, Ogden, Erinwoods and the Foothills Industrial Park. The riding is largely broken with three distinct residential sections surrounded by industrial areas. The riding has suffered from a number of environmental problems in recent years caused by heavy industry. Soil contamination from the old oil refinery in Lynwood Ridge has created a ghost town of houses in limbo. Canadian Pacific Railway has also been to blame for heavy soil contamination affecting residents along the tracks in Ogden by a chemical known as Trichloroethylene used as a track degreaser. In 1999 the Hub Oil refinery just east of Erin Woods exploded raining contamination on the neighborhood. The riding also has a quarantined site where the Inglewood Refinery used to be for soil contamination problems. The riding has been a Progressive Conservative strong hold since its creation in 1997 and only held by Wayne Cao, however support dipped in the last election. The Liberals have managed to finish second in every election, but have lost significant votes in the last two. No candidate has run more than once to oppose the incumbent.

[edit] Alberta Student Vote 2004
On November 19, 2004 a Student Vote was conducted at participating Alberta schools to parallel the 2004 Alberta general election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
