| 31st | 2023– | Parmeet Singh Boparai | New Democrat |
The district was created in 2017 when the Electoral Boundaries Commission recommended reorganizing the districts in northeast Calgary, abolishing Calgary-Greenway and shifting the other ridings eastward. Calgary-Falconridge took the neighbourhoods of Whitehorn and Temple from Calgary-East, Castleridge and Falconridge from Calgary-McCall, and Coral Springs and part of Taradale from Calgary-Greenway. This resulted in a district 13% above the average population, but the Commission justified this by pointing out that there were no plans to build new housing stock in this area.
