History
Foothills was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 19, 2015.[4] It was created out of part of Macleod plus very small parts of Lethbridge (Waterton Lakes National Park) and Calgary Southwest (a small section north of Spruce Meadows).
The name of the riding refers to the Rocky Mountain Foothills, which spread across southwestern Alberta from the Continental Divide at the British Columbia border.

gollark: The right to privacy isn't a constitutional thing. I think it's important, though.
gollark: I mean, those things aren't quite as meaningful as one would hope nowadays, but it's more than North Korea.
