Kelvington-Wadena is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada, in the east-central region.
The riding was last contested in the 2020 general election, when it returned Saskatchewan Party MLA Hugh Nerlien.
The largest population centres in the constituency are Wynyard, Wadena, Foam Lake, Kelvington and Porcupine Plain. Villages in the riding include Bjorkdale, Elfros, Rama, Archerwill, Margo and Lintlaw. Both major Canadian railways – the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific – have branch lines serving the area.
History
Kelvington-Wadena was created in 1975 by merging the ridings of Kelvington and Wadena. However, the riding has been significantly reconfigured several times since then. For the 1995 general election, the riding was significantly expanded east and west, taking in territory from Canora and Quill Lakes which were being merged and eliminated, respectively. The next major reconfiguration came prior to the 2003 general election, at which time the riding exchanged significant territory between Canora-Pelly, Last Mountain-Touchwood, Melfort and Carrot River Valley. For the next general election, the riding will gain territory west and south of Wynyard from Arm River and lose territory around Invermay and Tisdale to Canora-Pelly and Carrot River Valley, respectively.
From its creation until 1999, the riding returned MLAs from all three major parties. It originally alternated between the New Democrats and Progressive Conservatives, before being won by Liberal MLA June Draude with a thin plurality. Draude joined the Saskatchewan Party upon its founding in 1997, and the riding has been held by Saskatchewan Party MLAs since.
