Dunvegan-Central Peace Alberta electoral district
2004 boundaries Provincial electoral district Legislature Legislative Assembly of Alberta MLA
Progressive ConservativeDistrict created 2004 First contested 2004 Last contested 2008 Dunvegan-Central Peace is an Alberta provincial electoral district, located in northwestern Alberta.
Following the Alberta electoral boundary re-distribution of 2004, Dunvegan was the only division with a population of less than 75% the provincial average, with its recorded population of 24,202. As a result, it is formally designated as a special consideration division as opposed to a standard rural division. Due to its isolation, the constituency meets criteria in the Albertan election laws that allow for this discrepancy. Prior to 2004 the district was named Dunvegan, the boundaries did not significantly change.
The constituency lies on the border with British Columbia. Major towns include Fairview, Falher, Grimshaw and Spirit River. The riding contains a large agricultural industry based on cattle farming, the border closure to live beef has hurt the riding.
The current MLA for this district is Progressive Conservative Hector Goudreau. He was re-elected in the district in the 26th Alberta general election in a near photo finish race with Dale Lueken from the Alberta Alliance.
Peace River borders to the north and east. Lesser Slave Lake borders to the east. Grande Prairie Smoky and Grande Prairie Wapiti border to the south. Peace River South borders to the west in British Columbia

The electoral district of Dunvegan-Central peace was created from Dunvegan in the 2004 boundary redistribution. The first election in the new district was hotly contested between Progressive Conservative Hector Goudreau and Dale Lueken from the Alberta Alliance.
Lueken and Goudreau would face each other again in the 2008 general election. Goudreau easily held his seat and gained popular vote against Leuken. The construction of a nuclear power plant became a significant issue in that race.

The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have 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 that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.
