Sackville-Uniacke is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada. It was created as Sackville-Beaver Bank in 2012 from parts of much of Hammonds Plains-Upper Sackville and part of Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank. The riding also existed from 1993 to 2003. Following the 2019 riding boundary review, the riding changed names to Sackville-Uniacke, and gained parts of Hants East (Uniacke area) and a small section of Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank, while losing some territory to Waverley-Fall River-Beaver Bank (the Woodbine Mobile Home area).[1]
Geography
Sackville-Uniacke covers 201 km2 (78 sq mi) of landmass.[2]
