Geography The district was created in 1966 with a boundary that is similar to what it is today. It includes a part of West Vancouver, the West side of Howe Sound, the Sea to Sky region, and the area between the Lillooet and Harrison Lakes. The district is largely overlapped by the traditional territories of the Squamish Nation and St'át'imc Nation.
The district currently includes the section of West Vancouver that is located west of Cypress Creek, Bowen Island, Bowyer Island, Lions Bay, and the Sea-to-Sky communities: Furry Creek, Britannia Beach, Stawamus, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Mount Currie, D'Arcy, and Nquátgue. Its northern section reaches east to the north end of Harrison Lake to include a number of smaller Indigenous communities.
History The district was created in 1966 as West Vancouver-Howe Sound. It was renamed West Vancouver-Garibaldi in 1988 and then West Vancouver-Sea to Sky in 2008.
