Westminster-Dewdney was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia from 1894 to 1900. It and its sister ridings Westminster-Delta, Westminster-Chilliwhack and Westminster-Richmond were successors to the old four-member Westminster riding, which appeared in 1890 only and was a subdivision of the older New Westminster riding. Westminster-Dewdney was succeeded by the Dewdney riding in the election of 1903. This area is currently part of the Maple Ridge-Mission riding, with its former eastern portions now in Chilliwack-Kent (Dewdney had included Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs in its first incarnation).

Electoral history

In the large redistribution in advance of the 1903 election, which provided the basis for the modern system of ridings until the 1990s, the Westminster-Dewdney riding was adjusted slightly and renamed Dewdney, which lasted until the general election of 1986.
