History

This electoral district was formed in 1914 from Vancouver City riding.

In 1996, it was abolished and used to create Vancouver South—Burnaby with portions of New Westminster—Burnaby.

Vancouver South was re-created in 2003 when the Burnaby sections were moved into the new ridings Burnaby—Douglas and Burnaby—New Westminster.

The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Vancouver South should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.[11] The redefined Vancouver South loses a portion of its current territory west of Cambie Street to the new district of Vancouver Granville, and gains a small area in the northeast currently included in Vancouver Kingsway. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[12]

due to multiple origin responses Population drop between 2011 census and 2016 census due to 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution History EditThis electoral district was formed in 1914 from Vancouver City riding In 1996 it was abolished and used to create Vancouver South Burnaby with portions of New Westminster Burnaby Vancouver South was re created in 2003 when the Burnaby sections were moved into the new ridings Burnaby Douglas and Burnaby New Westminster The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Vancouver South should be adjusted and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections 11 The redefined Vancouver South loses a portion of its current territory west of Cambie Street to the new district of Vancouver Granville and gains a small area in the northeast currently included in Vancouver Kingsway These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election scheduled for October 2015 12 Members of Parliament Edit This riding has elected the following Members of Parliament Parliament
