Canora-Pelly

This page is about an electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada. For other uses, see Canora.

Canora-Pelly is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Located in east-central Saskatchewan, this constituency is made up of one of the province's most densely populated rural areas. The economy is based on mixed farming, primarily in the northern areas. The southern portion of the riding relies mainly on straight grain farming.

In 1899, much of the territory now covered by Canora-Pelly district fell within the block settlement land grant that became the first Canadian home of the Doukhobors. The village of Veregin, named after the Doukhobor leader Peter Verigin, was the central hub of the settlement.

Duck Mountain Provincial Park and Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park are also located in this constituency. The largest communities are Canora and Kamsack with populations of 2,200 and 2,009 respectively.
