- Current MLA: David Eby, BC NDP (first elected in 2013)
- Candidates:
- BC NDP: David Eby
- BC Conservatives: Paul Ratchford
- BC Greens: Devyani Singh
- Description:
- The only riding in the country to have been represented by three Premiers, Vancouver-Point Grey was never truly safe for the free enterprise coalition. After David Eby narrowly upset Premier Christy Clark in 2013, he has not looked back - winning by 20 points in his subsequent re-election bids.
- Centered around West Broadway, the riding stretches from Kitsilano’s mix of low-rise apartments, duplexes, and townhomes to the University of British Columbia’s burgeoning new developments—with West Point Grey traditional single-family homes and basement suites scattered throughout.
- Thanks to rapid development, diversification, and densification at UBC since 2000, it comes as no surprise that Vancouver-Point Grey is the most educated riding in British Columbia.
- With Senakw in Kitsilano; the Jericho Lands in West Point Grey, and its incumbent MLA’s push for densification as Premier, expect housing to become a hot topic as election day approaches.
- Election 2020 Results (with 2024 boundaries):
- BC NDP – 50%
- BC Liberals – 33%
- BC Greens – 17%
