Political Geography and History

Established in 1916, Chilliwack was the successor riding to the Chilliwhack riding, which used the older spelling of the name and had slightly different boundaries. Chilliwack riding lasted until the 1996 election. In 2001 the area became represented by Chilliwack-Kent and Chilliwack-Sumas. Following the 2008 redistribution, Chilliwack will be reconstituted, primarily out of Chilliwack-Sumas, while much of Chilliwack-Kent will be joined with parts of the Fraser Canyon previously in Yale-Lillooet to form Chilliwack-Hope.[1]

Member of Legislative Assembly

On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. John Les, British Columbia Liberal Party was initially elected during the 2005 election to the Chilliwack-Sumas riding. He successful ran for re-election in the newly created Chilliwack riding.
