Bonaventure is a provincial electoral district in the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region of Quebec , Canada that elects members to the National Assembly of Quebec . It is located on the southern shore of the Gaspé Peninsula and encompasses several towns along the Baie des Chaleurs and the New Brunswick border.
It was originally created for the 1867 election (and an electoral district of that name existed earlier in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada ).
In the change from the 2001 to the 2011 electoral map, it gained Chandler from Gaspé electoral district.
