Geography

The riding comprises most of the City of Victoria, the provincial capital. It is bounded by the coastline to the south and west; by the Municipality of Oak Bay to the east, by Bay Street and Haultain Street to the north.

History

Victoria-Beacon Hill was created in 1989, in time for the 1991 British Columbia general election, after the abolition of the two-member district of Victoria along with all other such dual ridings. In the 2008 boundary redistribution, Victoria-Beacon Hill kept 89 per cent of its area and added nine per cent of Victoria-Hillside.
