History
The electoral district was created in 1914 from parts of Vancouver City riding.
Canada's longest-serving female member of Parliament (MP), Hedy Fry, has represented Vancouver Centre since 1993. Another high-profile MP was Kim Campbell, who was elected in 1988, served in Brian Mulroney's cabinet, then served as Prime Minister for 132 days before being defeated by Fry.
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 would be contested in future elections.[8] The redefined Vancouver Centre lost a portion of 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.[9]
