History
This district was created as "Kelowna" electoral district in 1996 from a portion of
Okanagan Centre riding.
In 2003, it was renamed "Kelowna—Lake Country".

2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Kelowna—Lake Country should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.
The redefined Kelowna—Lake Country loses a portion of its current territory to the new district of

42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for 19 October 2015.
