| Description |
Highwood, in rural southwest Alberta, used to be a far larger riding, but the 2004 redistribution carved away at least two-thirds of it. Gone are the mountains and parks in the west, now part of Banff-Cochrane. Also gone are the southern farmlands and the communities of Stavely, Nanton and Parkland, now part of Livingstone-Macleod, and the northwestern farmlands and the communities of Black Diamond, Turner Valley, Winton and Priddis, now part of Foothills-Rockyview. Communities that remain include High River and Longview.
Retail and construction are the major employers in Highwood, where household incomes average $71,884. Six per cent of residents are low income. About 58 per cent of residents were born in Alberta, nine per cent are immigrants, and fewer than four per cent are aboriginal.
