North Coast-Haida Gwaii - Misplaced Pages

It was created under the original name North Coast by 1990 legislation which came into effect for the 1991 election, largely out of the previous riding of Prince Rupert. Following the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution that took effect for the 2024 election, it adopted its present name but did not undergo any boundary changes.
