Chéticamp-Margarees-Pleasant Bay is a provincial electoral district on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The riding is a traditional Acadian district.
The per-decade review of the province's electoral boundaries in 2025 was conducted as a result of an order by the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, which ruled that the previous commission's decision not to create an exceptional electoral district for Chéticamp violated Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In its interim report, submitted in August 2025 after public consultation, the commission presented three alternatives: keeping the status quo, with 55 electoral districts, and two other proposed scenarios, each with 56 electoral districts. After deliberations following a second round of public consultation, the commission is unanimously recommending in January 2026 a House of Assembly of 56 seats. The current district of Inverness would be divided into two new electoral districts: Chéticamp-Margarees-Pleasant Bay and Inverness-We’koqma’q. A by-election will be held to decide the first member of the new district.
