Provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada
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.
In 2023, a petition to recall the district's MLA, David Eby, was approved by Elections BC under the Recall and Initiative Act [ 1] [ 2] Gordon Campbell .)[ 3] [ 4]
