The district's northern boundary was moved northward, adding a rural portion of Foothills-Rocky View riding, where the city of Calgary annexed new land.

From 1993 to 2004, the riding included the neighbourhoods of Hamptons, Hidden Valley, Edgermont, MacEwan, Dalhousie and Brentwood as well as Nose Hill Park.

Premier Peter Lougheed who had just formed government appointed Werry as Minister of Telephones and Utilities.

The results of the by-election proved devastating to the Social Credit party who suffered from internal problems after Schmidt was unable to win a seat.

He was re-elected with a landslide majority and appointed to cabinet by Lougheed after the election as the Minister responsible for Calgary Affairs.

The third representative was Janet Koper who was returned as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the 1982 general election with a landslide majority.

[4] Webber resigned from the legislature thus giving Premier Jim Prentice, the new leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, an opportunity to seek the seat in a by-election in 2014.

The subsequent by-election elected Prasad Panda of the Wildrose Party, who was the first non-PC MLA returned from Calgary-Foothills.

The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority.
