Provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada
Maple Ridge-Mission is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.[1] The riding's name was resurrected from a former riding in the same area, with similar but not identical boundaries (see History section).
Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed Maple Ridge East.[2]
Geography
Redistribution
Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows and Mission-Kent were created from Dewdney during the 1989 redistribution. Whereas later in 2000, Mission-Kent and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows were used to create Maple Ridge-Mission. Finally in the latest redistribution, 2008, just over half of the original riding remain and to it was added a fraction of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.[1]
History
Its MLA was Randy Hawes under the former boundary system, who is a former mayor of the District of Mission. He was first elected in 2001, representing the British Columbia Liberal Party. He successfully ran again in the Abbotsford-Mission riding for the 2009 election.
