John Godfrey, who had represented the riding since 1993, announced in November 2007 that he would be resigning his seat on July 1, 2008 in order to accept a position as headmaster of Toronto French School and would leave earlier if an election were called before that date. Godfrey subsequently postponed his resignation until August 1.{{cite web|url=http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/theeditorialpage/story.html?id%3D50c50192-df40-4124-ac57-a39f452338a9 |title=Godfrey's long $100,000 goodbye |access-date=2008-08-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105001314/http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/theeditorialpage/story.html?id=50c50192-df40-4124-ac57-a39f452338a9 |archive-date=2012-11-05 }}

On August 17, 2008, the Prime Minister's Office issued a press release on behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper announcing a by-election for Don Valley West on September 22, 2008.{{cite web|url=http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?category%3D1%26id%3D2227 |title=Prime Minister of Canada: PM announces by-elections for September 22, 2008 |access-date=2008-08-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100113231029/http://www.pm.gc.ca/eng/media.asp?category=1&id=2227 |archive-date=2010-01-13 }} The by-election was canceled with the announcement of the federal election to be held on October 14, 2008.

This riding lost significant territory to Don Valley East and gained territory from St. Paul's during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
