Foothills-Rocky View was a provincial electoral district in Alberta, Canada. The district was one of 83 current districts in the province mandated to return a single member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta using the first past the post method of voting.
The district was located on the western rural edge of Calgary in southern Alberta. It was created in the 2004 boundary redistribution from the eastern portion of the electoral district of Banff-Cochrane and the western portion of the old electoral district of Airdrie-Rocky View which comprises the northern portion of the riding. The district is named after the Foothills of Southern Alberta and the Municipal District of Rocky View. The riding included part of the town of Cochrane, Bragg Creek and the Springbank area.
The district and its antecedents have been favorable to electing Progressive Conservative candidates in recent decades.

Famous quotes containing the word view:
“Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
