Cape Breton East (formerlySydney River-Mira-Louisbourg) is a provincialelectoral district inNova Scotia,Canada, that elects one member of theNova Scotia House of Assembly. The riding is represented byBrian Comer of theProgressive Conservative Party.[1]
In 1925, theCounty of Cape Breton and neighbouringRichmond County were divided into three distinct electoral districts, one of which was namedRichmond-West Cape Breton. In 1933, on the recommendations of the 1932 Electoral Boundaries Commission, Richmond-West Cape Breton was dissolved and two new districts were created, one of which wasCape Breton West, which also took in parts ofCape Breton Centre andCape Breton East.[2][3] In 2003, this district had minor adjustments to its boundaries withCape Breton South,Cape Breton Centre, andGlace Bay. It gained the area on the north side of East Bay along highway 216 to includeEskasoni First Nation. In 2013, following the recommendations of the 2012 Electoral Boundaries Commission, the district was renamed Sydney River-Mira-Louisbourg. It gained the Mira Road, Sydney River, Prime Brook, and Coxheath areas fromCape Breton South, as well as a section of Grand Lake Road fromCape Breton Nova. It lost the area northwest of East Bay toVictoria-The Lakes and the area southwest of Portage and Sandfield and west of the Mira River toCape Breton-Richmond.[4]
The riding was renamedCape Breton East for the2021 Nova Scotia general election.
