Alberta, urban ridings traditionally begin with the city name. This has generally applied where an urban area is divided and joined with rural areas, such as Grande Prairie-Wapiti and Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche. Notable exceptions are Cypress-Medicine Hat and Brooks-Medicine Hat, which follow the convention in other rural areas of listing communities in alphabetical order (another exception being Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright). Unlike federal practice, Alberta uses hyphens to join all name elements. This is true for electoral districts named for multiple communities as well as urban districts (where the city name is followed by a direction, a neighbourhood, a landmark, or the name of a historical politician). For example, compare the provincial Fort McMurray-Conklin with the federal Fort McMurray—Cold Lake, where the em dash is used instead of the hyphen to join names of separate communities. Also compare the provincial Edmonton-Strathcona with the federal Edmonton Strathcona, where a space indicates that Strathcona is a neighbourhood of Edmonton. Current districts named for individuals include several premiers: Calgary-Klein for Ralph Klein, Calgary-Lougheed for Peter Lougheed, Edmonton-Manning for Ernest Manning, and Edmonton-Rutherford for Alexander Rutherford. Three are named for former party leaders: Calgary-Shaw for former Liberal leader Joseph Tweed Shaw, Central Peace-Notley for former NDP leader Grant Notley, and Edmonton-Decore for former Liberal leader and Edmonton mayor Laurence Decore. In addition, Edmonton-McClung is named for suffragette and MLA Nellie McClung. The abolished riding of Edmonton-Roper was named for CCF leader Elmer Roper.
