South Okanagan—West Kootenay (French: '''Okanagan-Sud—Kootenay-Ouest''') is a federal electoral district in British Columbia. It encompasses a portion of British Columbia previously included in the electoral districts of British Columbia Southern Interior (58%), Kootenay—Columbia (3%), and Okanagan—Coquihalla (39%).
South Okanagan—West Kootenay was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.
Under the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay.[2] The riding will gain Keremeos and Princeton, the Indian Reserves of Alexis 9, Ashnola 10, Blind Creek 6, Chopaka 7 & 8, Chuchuwayha 2 and Lower Similkameen 2 and the regional district electoral areas of Okanagan-Similkameen B, Okanagan-Similkameen G, Okanagan-Similkameen H, and the remainder of Okanagan-Similkameen I from Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola. It will lose the northern half of the Kootenay Boundary E / West Boundary regional district electoral area to Kelowna. It will lose Fruitvale, Montrose, Trail, the regional district electoral area of Kootenay Boundary A and that part of Kootenay Boundary B / Lower Columbia-Old-Glory southeast of Trail to Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies. It will also lose the regional district electoral area of Central Kootenay H and the remainder of Central Kootenay K, plus Nakusp, New Denver, Silverton and Slocan which will move to Vernon—Lake Country—Monashee.[3]
