Geography

[edit]

The district was created in 1966 with a boundary that is similar to what it is today. It includes a part of West Vancouver, the West side of Howe Sound, the Sea to Sky region, and the area between the Lillooet and Harrison Lakes. The district is largely overlapped by the traditional territories of the Squamish Nation and St'át'imc Nation.

The district currently includes the section of West Vancouver that is located west of Cypress Creek, Bowen-, and Bowyer Islands, Lions Bay, and the Sea to Sky communities: Furry Creek, Britannia Beach, Stawamus, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Mount Currie, D'Arcy, and Nquátgue. It's northern section reaches east to the north end of Harrison Lake to include a number of smaller Indigenous communities.

History

[edit]

The district was created in 1966 as West Vancouver-Howe Sound, was renamed in 1988 to West Vancouver-Garibaldi, and again in 2008 to West Vancouver-Sea to Sky.

Members of the Legislative Assembly

Please note, that these redistributed results are based on the 2023 riding boundary changes in West Vancouver section of the riding, but the underlying data has limitations. In the riding due to the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia, 23.8% of the ballots were mail-in ballots during the 2020 election. These ballots were never associated with polling stations and areas, making any predictions inaccurate.
