Rosetown-Elrose is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada.

The largest community is Rosetown. Smaller communities in the district include the towns of Outlook, Elrose, Kyle, Zealandia, and Eston; and the villages of Dinsmore, Harris, Beechy, Lucky Lake, and Conquest.

History[edit]

This constituency was created for the 1975 election from the districts of Rosetown and Elrose. The district was renamed Rosetown-Biggar before the 1995 general election, but the name was changed back to Rosetown-Elrose before the 2003 general election.

Prior to the next general election, the district will be significantly reconfigured, losing a large area west of Rosetown and Elrose to Kindersley-Biggar and Cypress Hills, while taking in Delisle and adjacent areas of exurban Saskatoon from Biggar-Sask Valley. Accordingly, the riding will be renamed Rosetown-Delisle.[1]
