- Current MLA: Niki Sharma, BC NDP (first elected in 2020)
- Candidates:
- BC NDP: Niki Sharma
- BC Conservatives: Jacob Burdge

- Description:
- One of two ridings to have resisted the BC Liberals in their near-sweep of 2001, this riding has voted for the BC NDP since its creation, and before that, the CCF.
- Made up of Hastings-Sunrise and half of Grandview-Woodland, it plays host to a blend of retired workers, young artsy university graduates, and descendants of the old Chinatown and Italian communities.
- With Sharma’s dominating win last time, the real contest in this riding will be for a very distant second.
- Election 2020 Results (with 2024 boundaries):
- BC NDP – 61%
- BC Greens – 20%
- BC Liberals – 18%
- Other – 2%
