Westminster-Chilliwhack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westminster-Chilliwhack was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia from 1894 to 1898. It and its sister ridings Westminster-Delta, Westminster-Dewdney 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 (provincial electoral district) riding. Westminster-Chilliwhack was succeeded by the Chilliwhack riding in the election of 1903.
