Kootenay-Monashee is a provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada.
It was established under the name Kootenay West by the Electoral Districts Act, 2008 and first contested in the 2009 general election. The riding adopted its current name and had minor boundary changes from the 2024 election, which implemented the results of the 2021 redistribution.[1]
The riding is seen as a safe NDP seat; the party has won 12 out of the last 13 elections. Before the NDP victory in 1972, the riding voted consistently for Social Credit.
