North Coast is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was created by 1990 legislation which came into effect for the 1991 election, largely out of the previous riding of Prince Rupert.
Following the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution, this riding will be renamed North Coast-Haida Gwaii but will not undergo any boundary changes.[1]
As of the 2020 provincial election, North Coast comprises the entire area of the Skeena-Queen Charlotte and Central Coast Regional Districts and the southern portion of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, located in the central and northern coast of British Columbia, Haida Gwaii and other islands. Communities in the electoral district consist of Prince Rupert, Bella Coola, Bella Bella, Daajing Giids (formerly Queen Charlotte),[2] Masset, Port Edward, Klemtu and Port Clements.[3]
Its member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) is Jennifer Rice. She was first elected on May 14, 2013.
