Riding Info
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 the part of Port Moody north of Guildford Drive and Burrard Inlet. The Coquitlam reserve is also here.
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.
Population: 116,563 (2006 census; an increase of 6.6% since 2001)
Political History
In 2008, Conservative James Moore won a fourth term, beating New Democrat Zoe Royer, taking almost 55 per cent of the vote. The 2006 race was a virtual copy of the 2004 race. Moore was returned for a third term, winning 41.1 per cent of the vote. Moore took 40 per cent of the vote in 2004. The Liberals saw a similar differential between the two years, winning 27.1 per cent in 2006 versus 27.3 in 2004.
In 1993 and 1997, this riding was won by Reformer Sharon Hayes. She resigned to take care of her ill husband. In a March 1998 byelection, Liberal Lou Sekora won by 1,089 votes. In the general election two years later, Moore unseated Sekora, this time running for the Canadian Alliance. The difference was 11,694 ballots.
The former New Westminster-Coquitlam was held by New Democrats for most of the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Mission-Port Moody was NDP in 1979 and 1980, then went to the Tories in a 1983 byelection.
