Vancouver-Point Grey


Vancouver-Point Grey is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was first contested in the general election of 1933. It and the other new Vancouver ridings that year—Vancouver-Burrard, Vancouver Centre and Vancouver East—were all created from the old Vancouver City riding, which was a six-member seat. Vancouver-Point Grey was a three-member seat, while the other three Vancouver ridings were only two members. Later it was reduced to a two-member seat when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created, and in the redistribution preceding the 1991 election, it was reduced to a one-member riding along with the other older urban ridings, as several new one-member ridings were created. Prominent politicians elected as members representing Vancouver Point Grey include: British Columbia premiers Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell, and former prime minister of Canada Kim Campbell.
For a full listing of Vancouver ridings, historical and current, see Vancouver.
