Bonnyville-Cold Lake is a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district is one of 87 current districts mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting. It is currently represented by Wildrose MLA Scott Cyr, who was first elected in 2015.
This primarily rural electoral district is found in northeastern Alberta along the Saskatchewan border. The riding is coterminous with the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87, and also contains the following municipalities:
The district borders Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills to the North, West and Southwest, and Vermilion-Lloydminster to the Southeast.
The district was created in the 1997 Boundary redistribution from the electoral district of Bonnyville, retaining the same boundaries as the old district. The riding had been held from its creation until 2015 by the Progressive Conservatives, although the Liberals held the antecedent riding from 1993 to 1997.
The 2003 redistribution saw the riding lose some uninhabited territory in its north, part of the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range, to Lac La Biche-St. Paul-Two Hills. This gave Bonnyville-Cold Lake the same boundaries as the Municipal District.
In the 2010 Boundary redistribution the riding remained unchanged with no boundary alterations from the 2003 boundaries.
