Prince George—Peace River is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1968.

Geography

Communities include the oil-and-gas exploration centre of Fort St. John; Fort Nelson, with the province's biggest wood products plant; Dawson Creek; and the part of Prince George north of the Nechako River and east of the Fraser River.

History

This electoral district was originally created in 1966 from parts of Cariboo) and Kamloops ridings.

It was abolished in 1976 when it was redistributed into Fort Nelson—Peace River riding and a part of Prince George—Bulkley Valley ridings. In 1978, Fort Nelson—Peace River was renamed "Prince George—Peace River". There were no elections during the period it was called "Fort Nelson—Peace River".

Politically, this riding has been amongst the most right-wing in Canada, electing Progressive Conservative MP Frank Oberle from 1972-1993, and Conservative Jay Hill since that point. One of the reasons for this could be a lack of Liberal campaigning.

This riding has elected the following Members of Parliament:

* 1968-1972: Robert Borrie - Liberal
* 1972-1993: Frank Oberle - Progressive Conservative
* 1993-present: Jay Hill - Reform (1993-2000), Canadian Alliance(2000-2003), Conservative (2003-2004)
