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 was created out of parts of Richmond-Point Grey, South Vancouver and Vancouver City. The riding began as a three-member seat, and was reduced to a two-member seat in 1966 when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created. 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.

Many prominent politicians have been elected as members, including three British Columbia premiers, Liberals Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell, and New Democrat incumbent premier David Eby. Former prime minister of Canada Kim Campbell also represented this riding.

Geography

The district currently comprises the Vancouver neighbourhoods of West Point Grey and the western part of Kitsilano, as well as the adjacent University Endowment Lands and the Point Grey campus of the University of British Columbia.

In 1988, Kim Campbell resigned as the MLA to run in the federal election. Tom Perry (NDP) won the seat in the 1989 by-election, finishing the term with Marzari as his seatmate. A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old multiple member districts. Vancouver-Point Grey was trimmed with parts of going to the creation of Vancouver-Quilchena, Vancouver-Langara, and Vancouver-Burrard (mostly to Quilchena). In the 1991 election, Perry changed ridings and was elected in Vancouver-Little Mountain.
