Vancouver-Yaletown is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.[1] Created under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution, the riding was first contested in the 2024 British Columbia general election.[1] It was created out of parts of Vancouver-False Creek and Vancouver-Mount Pleasant.

Geography

The district comprises the portions of Downtown Vancouver east of Burrard Street, taking its name from the neighbourhood of Yaletown.[2] Yaletown is the second-wealthiest neighbourhood of Vancouver, after Shaughnessy[3] [4] The riding is adjacent to Vancouver's infamous Downtown Eastside area, widely known as the poorest neighbourhood in Canada, which is located in next-door Vancouver-Strathcona.
