Vancouver Centre (French: Vancouver-Centre) is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1917.

Geography

The riding includes the neighbourhoods of Yaletown, the West End, Coal Harbour, Downtown Vancouver, western Strathcona and eastern Kitsilano. The riding has a diverse, multi-generational demographic. Retirees, young people and families as well as middle-aged working professional share its sidewalks, cafes, restaurants and community centres amid a backdrop of gorgeous mountain and ocean views.

History

The electoral district was created in 1914 from parts of Vancouver City riding.

Its most high-profile Member of Parliament has been Kim Campbell, who was Prime Minister in 1993.

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Vancouver Centre should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.[2] The redefined Vancouver Centre loses a portion of its current territory from its southern end to the new district of Vancouver Granville. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[3]
