2015 British Columbia electoral redistribution

An electoral redistribution in British Columbia was undertaken by the BC Electoral Boundaries Commission beginning in 2014 and was formalized by the passage of Bill 42, the 2015 Electoral Districts Act, during the 40th British Columbia Parliament. The act came into effect on November 17, 2015. The redistribution added two seats to the previous total, increasing the number of MLAs in the province from 85 to 87. The electoral boundaries came into effect for the 2017 election. The next resdistribution occurred in 2021, before the 2024 provincial election. == Changes == === No change (36) === Burnaby-Deer Lake Burnaby-Edmonds Cowichan Valley Delta North Delta South Kamloops-North Thompson Kelowna-Lake Country Kelowna-Mission Kootenay West Maple Ridge-Mission Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Nechako Lakes Nelson-Creston North Coast North Island Peace River North Peace River South Penticton Port Coquitlam Powell River-Sunshine Coast Saanich North and the Islands Skeena Shuswap Stikine Vancouver-Fairview Vancouver-Fraserview Vancouver-Hastings Vancouver-Kensington Vancouver-Kingsway Vancouver-Langara Vancouver-Mount Pleasant Vancouver-Point Grey Vancouver-Quilchena Vernon-Monashee Victoria-Swan Lake West Vancouver-Capilano === Adjusted (39) === Abbotsford-Mission Abbotsford South Abbotsford West Boundary-Similkameen Burnaby-Lougheed Burnaby North Cariboo-Chilcotin Cariboo North Chilliwack Columbia River-Revelstoke Coquitlam-Burke Mountain Coquitlam-Maillardville Fraser-Nicola Kamloops-South Thompson Kootenay East Langley Nanaimo Nanaimo-North Cowichan New Westminster North Vancouver-Lonsdale North Vancouver-Seymour Oak Bay-Gordon Head Parksville-Qualicum Port Moody-Coquitlam Prince George-Mackenzie Prince George-Valemount Richmond-Steveston Saanich South Surrey-Cloverdale Surrey-Fleetwood Surrey-Green Timbers Surrey-Newton Surrey-Panorama Surrey-Whalley Surrey-White Rock Vancouver-False Creek Vancouver-West End Victoria-Beacon Hill West Vancouver-Sea to Sky === Minor adjustment with name change (1) === Kelowna West (was "Westside-Kelowna") === Replaced (9) === (primary successor riding is shown) Alberni-Pacific Rim → Mid Island-Pacific Rim Chilliwack-Hope → Chilliwack-Kent Comox Valley → Courtenay-Comox Esquimalt-Royal Roads → Esquimalt-Metchosin Fort Langley-Aldergrove → Langley East Juan de Fuca → Langford-Juan de Fuca Richmond Centre → Richmond North Centre Richmond East → Richmond-Queensborough Surrey-Tynehead → Surrey-Guildford === New ridings (2) === Richmond South Centre Surrey South == See also == British Columbia electoral redistribution, 2008 == References ==
