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 was created out of parts of Richmond-Point Grey, South Vancouver and Vancouver City. The riding began as a three-member seat, and was reduced to a two-member seat in 1966 when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created. 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 three British Columbia premiers, Liberals Christy Clark and Gordon Campbell, and New Democrat incumbent premier David Eby. Former prime minister of Canada Kim Campbell also represented this riding.
In 2023, a petition to recall the district's MLA, David Eby, was approved by Elections BC under the Recall and Initiative Act.[1][2] However, the petition did not attract the required number of signatures. This was the third invocation of the recall procedure in Vancouver-Point Grey since the act was passed in 1994. (The other two unsuccessful attempts, in 1998 and 2003, both targeted Gordon Campbell.)[3][4]
