History
The electoral district was created in 1914 from parts of Vancouver City riding.
Canada's longest-serving female Member of Parliament, Hedy Fry, has represented Vancouver Centre since 1993. Another high-profile MP was Kim Campbell, who served as Prime Minister for 132 days.
The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of Vancouver Centre should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections.[4] The redefined Vancouver Centre loses a portion of its current territory from its southern end to the new district of Vancouver Granville. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[5]
