Geography
The district comprises the Vancouver neighbourhoods of West Point Grey and the western part of Kitsilano, as well as the adjacent University Endowment Lands and the Point Grey campus of the University of British Columbia.
History
The riding was created out of parts of Richmond-Point Grey, South Vancouver, and Vancouver City, and was first contested in the 1933 general election as a three-member district. It was reduced to a two-member district in 1966 when Vancouver-Little Mountain was created and was further reduced to a one-member district when all remaining multi-member urban districts where converted to one-member districts in the redistribution preceding the 1991 election. When it was a multiple-member district, its seats were filled using plurality block voting, except in 1952 and 1953, when instant-runoff voting was used in a separate contest for each seat.
Prominent representatives
Many prominent politicians have been elected as members, including three British Columbia premiers: Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark of the Liberal Party, and David Eby of the New Democratic Party, Mayor of Vancouver George Clark Miller, Liberal leader and later federal minister Arthur Laing, and Progressive Conservative prime minister Kim Campbell, who was briefly the Social Credit MLA here. All MLAs for Point Grey since the 1960s have served in either provincial or federal cabinet at some point, but none have served in both. The district had also produced a disproportionate number of attorneys general: Royal Maitland, Robert Bonner, Garde Gardom, Eby and Campbell. The 1986 election that elected Campbell along with Darlene Marzari was the only instance in British Columbia's electoral history where a multi-member district returned only women MLAs.
2023 recall petition
In 2023, a petition to recall the district's MLA, David Eby, was approved by Elections BC under the Recall and Initiative Act.[1][2] However, the petition did not attract the required number of signatures. This was the third invocation of the recall procedure in Vancouver-Point Grey since the act was passed in 1994. (The other two unsuccessful attempts, in 1998 and 2003, both targeted Gordon Campbell.)[3][4]

In 1988, Kim Campbell resigned as the MLA to run in the federal election. Tom Perry (NDP) won the seat in the 1989 by-election, finishing the term with Marzari as his seatmate.[18] A redistribution before the 1991 election substantially changed Vancouver's electoral map by converting all remaining multiple member districts into single-member ones. Vancouver-Point Grey was trimmed, with parts of the district going to the creation of Vancouver-Quilchena, Vancouver-Langara, and Vancouver-Burrard (mostly to Quilchena). In the 1991 election, Perry changed ridings and was elected in Vancouver-Little Mountain.
