Vancouver Centre (provincial electoral district)

:"This page is for the defunct British Columbia provincial electoral district. For the federal electoral district of the same name please see Vancouver Centre.

Vancouver Centre was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1933. It and the other new Vancouver ridings in this year, Vancouver-Burrard, Vancouver-Point Grey and Vancouver East, were all created from the old Vancouver City riding, which was a six-member seat. Vancouver Centre was a two member seat throughout its existence.

For a full listing of Vancouver ridings, historical and current, please see Vancouver (electoral districts).

A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old tradition of multiple member districts. Vancouver Centre was abolished. Its principal successor ridings were Vancouver-Fairview, Vancouver-Mount Pleasant and Vancouver-Langara. Some portions may have gone to Vancouver-Burrard or Vancouver-Little Mountain.
