Westminster-Richmond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westminster-Richmond was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia from 1894 to 1900. It and its sister ridings Westminster-Delta, Westminster-Dewdney and Westminster-Chilliwhack were successors to the old four-member Westminster riding, which appeared in 1890 only and was a subdivision of the older New Westminster (provincial electoral district) riding. Westminster-Richmond was succeeded by the Richmond riding in the election of 1903.
