[edit] History

This riding was created in 1935 from parts of Cariboo and Kootenay West ridings. It was abolished in 1966 when it was redistributed into Coast Chilcotin, Fraser Valley East, Kamloops—Cariboo, Okanagan—Kootenay and Prince George—Peace River ridings.

In 1987, a new Kamloops riding was created from parts of Kamloops—Shuswap riding. In 1988, it was renamed "Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys".

It consisted of:

Electoral Areas A, B, J, L, O and P of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District;
The City of Kamloops;
the Village of Chase; and
the District Municipality of Logan Lake.

It was redefined in 1996 to consist of:

Subdivisions A, B and E of Thompson-Nicola Regional District, including Skeetchestn Indian Reserve and Logan Lake District Municipality, excepting Spatsum Indian Reserve No. 11;
the City of Kamloops; and
Kamloops Indian Reserve No. 1.

In 2003, the riding was abolished, and a new riding, "Kamloops—Thompson", was created with substantially the same boundaries. In 2005, this district was re-named "Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo".
