Provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver-Point Grey is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia , Canada. It was first contested in the general election of 1933 . It and the other new Vancouver ridings contested that year—Vancouver-Burrard , Vancouver Centre and Vancouver East —were all created from the old Vancouver City riding, which was a six-member seat. Vancouver-Point Grey was a three-member seat, while the other three Vancouver ridings were only two members. Later it was reduced to a two-member seat when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created, and in the redistribution preceding the 1991 election, it was reduced to a one-member riding along with the other older urban ridings, as several new one-member ridings were created.
Many prominent politicians have been elected as members, including two British Columbia premiers , Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell . Former prime minister of Canada Kim Campbell also represented this riding.
Geography [ ]
The district currently comprises the Vancouver neighbourhoods of West Point Grey and the western part of Kitsilano , as well as the adjacent University Endowment Lands and the Point Grey campus of the University of British Columbia .

In 1988 Kim Campbell resigned as the MLA to run in the federal election. Dr. Tom Perry Tom Perry (NDP) won the seat in the 1989 by-election, finishing the term with Marzari as his seatmate.[9] A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old multiple member districts. Vancouver-Point Grey was trimmed with parts of going to the creation of Vancouver-Quilchena , Vancouver-Langara , and Vancouver-Burrard (mostly to Quilchena). In the 1991 election Perry moved over and was elected in the riding of Vancouver-Little Mountain .
