Provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver-Strathcona is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia , Canada.
The district of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant was created covering much of the same territory in 1991. The riding adopted its current name and had modest boundary adjustments from the 2024 election , which implemented the results of the 2021 redistribution .[ 1]
Vancouver-Strathcona is widely considered one of the safest NDP seats in all of British Columbia, with the NDP routinely winning by over 40 points. Even during the 2001 landslide victory for the BC Liberals , Vancouver-Mount Pleasant (as it was then named) was one of only two electoral districts to return an NDP MLA . In that election, despite a massive province-wide turn away from the party the NDP won the seat by over 10 points, a much wider margin than Vancouver-Hastings , the other seat to return a New Democrat.
This riding is located in the east end of Vancouver , running from the eastern parts of the Downtown eastward to Commercial Drive (the western parts of the downtown make up the neighbouring riding of Vancouver-False Creek ). The riding consists of the part of its namesake neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant east of Main Street , all of Strathcona , Downtown Eastside and Gastown , as well as part of Chinatown , the part of Grandview-Woodland west of Commercial Drive and the part of Kensington-Cedar Cottage north of Kingsway .
Member of the Legislative Assembly [ edit ] Its MLA is Joan Phillip , who was elected in a 2023 by-election to replace Melanie Mark ; Mark resigned her seat in April 2023.[ 2]
