West Nova (French: Nova-Ouest) is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1968.

South Western Nova and South West Nova were ridings that covered roughly the same geographic area and were represented in the House of Commons from 1968 to 1979 and 1979 to 1997, respectively.

The district is rural with a few small towns and communities located along the coast. The riding has been called a microcosm of rural Canada because it includes fishing, farming, tourism, small business and an English-French mix.[2]

History

The electoral district was created in 1966 from Digby—Annapolis—Kings and Shelburne—Yarmouth—Clare ridings. In 1996, Seal Island was added and the name was changed from South West Nova to West Nova. In 2004, 20 percent of Kings—Hants was added to the district. The boundaries remained unchanged as per the 2012 federal electoral redistribution. From 1968 until 2004, the Riding was notable for never having elected a single person to a second consecutive term until Robert Thibault won in 2004.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding will be renamed Acadie—Annapolis. It will lose some territory (Berwick area) in Kings County to Kings—Hants.[3]
