  • 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.
