# Last Mountain-Touchwood

Last Mountain-Touchwood is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, Canada. Located in southern Saskatchewan, major communities in the district include the towns of Strasbourg, Ituna, Lemberg, Southey, and Balcarres. Villages in the district include Punnichy, Kelliher, Lestock, Abernethy, Goodeve, Neudorf, and Lebret.
The district is named for Last Mountain Lake, which forms the western edge of the constituency, and the Touchwood Hills, which are located in the central and eastern part of the constituency.

## History

Last Mountain-Touchwood was created by combining the district of Last Mountain with part of the constituency of Touchwood. The district's southern and western boundaries have changed little since its creation, though the riding has been expanded eastward over the years. The most significant expansion occurred before the 2003 general election, when the riding picked up the western half of the former Melville constituency upon its dissolution.
