Sydney—Glace Bay is a federal electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that is represented in the House of Commons of Canada. It was created in 2023 following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution process. It was created from parts of Sydney—Victoria and Cape Breton Highlands—Canso electoral districts and mostly represents the old Industrial Cape Breton area.

ED 12011-Sydney–-Glace Bay Boundary Map[3]

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, Sydney—Glace Bay was created. It exchanged territory with Cape Breton—Canso, losing Victoria, the remainder of Inverness and rural western part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality. The new district gained the urban part of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality from Sydney Forks to Port Morien, including the Glace Bay area.[4]
