The riding continued its trend of opposition by electing Liberal Bill Dickie. Dickie was just one of two Liberals elected in the 1963 general election. He was re-elected as a Liberal and crossed the floor to the Progressive Conservatives on November 23, 1969. The voters of Glenmore re-elected him as a Progressive Conservative in 1971 as that party won its first term in Government.
Dickie served as the first member of cabinet for the district with the portfolio of Minister of Mines and Minerals. He retired in 1975 and was replaced by Hugh Planche who won some of the biggest majorities in his three terms representing Calgary-Glenmore. Planche served in cabinet as Minister of Economic Development from 1979 until his retirement in 1986.
The fourth member of the district Dianne Mirosh served in cabinet as Minister of Innovation and Science and later as Minister of Transportation during her time in office from 1986 to 1997. She had some tough electoral battles with Liberal candidate Brendan Dunphy as he almost managed to defeat Mirosh twice.
Ron Stevens became the districts MLA in 1997 serving until 2009. He served a number of cabinet portfolios. His first portfolio was Minister of Gaming starting in 2001. He then moved on to be the Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations, then Attorney General and finally Deputy Premier. Stevens vacated his seat on May 15, 2009. On September 14, 2009 Paul Hinman
of the Wildrose Alliance
won the by-election to replace him.
Voters had the option of selecting 4 Candidates on the Ballot
The 2009 by-election was initiated by the resignation of incumbent Ron Stevens on 15 May 2009. Stevens left office to accept a judicial post five days later on 20 May 2009. Premier Stelmach had six months to call the election, however the election took place on 14 September 2009.
The by-election attracted a few high profile candidates. The only person to announce running for the Progressive Conservative nomination was Calgary Ward 13 Alderman Diane Colley-Urquhart
. She was acclaimed as the candidate by the Progressive Conservative party on 5 June 2009. The first candidate to announce his intention to run for the Alberta Liberal Party nomination was former Ontario
NDP
MPP
George Dadamo
. He served in the Bob Rae
government from 1990 to 1995. A second candidate for the Liberal party announced on 1 June 2009, Corey Hogan a Liberal party insider. The result of Hogan running caused Dadamo to withdraw. The Liberal nominating convention took place on 22 June 2009 and resulted with 2008 Liberal candidate Avalon Roberts
winning.
The nominee for the Wildrose Alliance was former Cardston-Taber-Warner
MLA
and Leader of the party Paul Hinman
. Hinman grew up in the community of Haysboro located in the constituency. The Wildrose Alliance nomination convention was held on 23 June 2009 with Hinman receiving the nomination. Social Credit was the first party to name an official candidate with Social Credit leader Len Skowronski
running for the party. The New Democrats nominated Eric Carpendale. The Green Party under its leader Joe Anglin
did not field a candidate.
The election was a major test for all the political parties. The Liberals under new leader David Swann
having taken the reins of the leadership in 2008 was be facing their first electoral test. The Progressive Conservatives popularity was tested for the first time after winning their massive majority under Premier Ed Stelmach
in the 2008 general election. The Wildrose Alliance winning this by-election came as the first major electoral success for the party.
On November 19, 2004 a Student Vote was conducted at participating Alberta schools to parallel the 2004 Alberta general election results. The vote was designed to educate students and simulate the electoral process for persons who have not yet reached the legal majority. The vote was conducted in 80 of the 83 provincial electoral districts with students voting for actual election candidates. Schools with a large student body that reside in another electoral district had the option to vote for candidates outside of the electoral district then where they were physically located.

Electoral history
The voters of the Calgary Glenmore electoral district differed from the Social Credit trend and elected Progressive Conservative candidate Ernest Watkins. Watkins was the only Progressive Conservative member elected in the 1959 election. After his election, Watkins became leader of the party until 1962. Watkins did not run again in 1963.The riding continued its trend of opposition by electing Liberal Bill Dickie. Dickie was just one of two Liberals elected in the 1963 general election. He was re-elected as a Liberal and crossed the floor to the Progressive Conservatives on November 23, 1969. The voters of Glenmore re-elected him as a Progressive Conservative in 1971 as that party won its first term in Government.
Dickie served as the first member of cabinet for the district with the portfolio of Minister of Mines and Minerals. He retired in 1975 and was replaced by Hugh Planche who won some of the biggest majorities in his three terms representing Calgary-Glenmore. Planche served in cabinet as Minister of Economic Development from 1979 until his retirement in 1986.
The fourth member of the district Dianne Mirosh served in cabinet as Minister of Innovation and Science and later as Minister of Transportation during her time in office from 1986 to 1997. She had some tough electoral battles with Liberal candidate Brendan Dunphy as he almost managed to defeat Mirosh twice.
Ron Stevens became the districts MLA in 1997 serving until 2009. He served a number of cabinet portfolios. His first portfolio was Minister of Gaming starting in 2001. He then moved on to be the Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations, then Attorney General and finally Deputy Premier. Stevens vacated his seat on May 15, 2009.
