2004 Candidates
Riding Profile
This suburban riding lies north of the Fraser River and between Indian Arm and the Indian River to the west and Pitt Lake to the east. The city of Port Coquitlam is here, along with the villages of Anmore and Belcarra, Douglas and Boulder islands, and that part of Port Moody north of Guildford Drive and Burrard Inlet. The Coquitlam reserve is also here.
The 2001 census counted 109,394 residents, more than one-third of whom are immigrants. Chinese-Canadians make up the largest ethnic group.
Major employers here include Imperial Oil and the CP rail yards. The average family income is $71,128 and unemployment stands at 6.1 per cent.
The riding was created in 1986 through the combination of sections of New Westminster-Coquitlam and Mission-Port Moody. Ten years later the boundaries were readjusted, with a third of the residents leaving the riding and a large number being added from Mission-Coquitlam. In 2004, about one-quarter of the riding's population was carved away.
