Geography

The district includes the part of the Halifax Regional Municipality located on the Atlantic coast between Lake Charlotte and Jeddore Harbour in the east to Halifax Harbour in the west excluding the community of Dartmouth and the community of Eastern Passage. It also includes HRM's northern suburbs in the Sackville River valley north to the boundary with Hants County. The land area is 645.18 km2 (249.11 sq mi).[5]

History

The electoral district was created in 1996 from Central Nova and Dartmouth ridings, and was known as "Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore" from 1999 to 2003. MP Peter Stoffer tabled a Private Members Bill to change the name of the riding to "Sackville—Preston—Eastern Shore". As per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, this riding was largely dissolved into the new riding of Sackville—Preston—Chezzetcook (94%), with small portions going to Central Nova (4%) and Dartmouth—Cole Harbour (2%).

Following the 2022 federal electoral redistribution, the riding will largely be replaced by Sackville—Bedford—Preston. It gains the Bedford, Hammonds Plains and Lucasville areas from Halifax West; it gains the area north of Highways 111 and 118 plus the Lake Charles area from Dartmouth—Cole Harbour; and it loses the Lawrencetown, Porters Lake and the Chezzetcook areas to Central Nova.
