Calgary-Nose Hill history
The Calgary-Nose Hill electoral district was created in the 2003 electoral boundary re-distribution from portions of Calgary-Foothills, Calgary-North Hill and Calgary-Nose Creek electoral districts. The riding was named after Nose Hill Park in Calgary.

Electoral history
The electoral district was created from parts of three different riding's in the 2004 boundary redistribution. The first election held in 2004 saw Progressive Conservative candidate Neil Brown pickup the district with under half of the popular vote. He defeated a field of four other candidates.

Brown stood for re-election against four other candidates in the 2008 general election. He was returned to power with a slight increase in his popular vote but still won under 50%.

2004
Voters had the option of selecting four candidates on the ballot.

2004 student vote results
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 had 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 who resided in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district than where they were physically located.
