North Peace River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Peace River was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It was first contested in the general election of 1956 and last contested in the general election of 1986. It and neighbouring South Peace River were formed by the partition of the old Peace River riding. Redistribution in advance of the 1991 election saw North Peace River adjusted and renamed Peace River North.
