Cloverdale—Langley City is a federal electoral district located in the Metro Vancouver area of British Columbia.

History

Cloverdale—Langley City was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order. It came into effect upon the call of the October 2015 Canadian federal election.[3] It was created out of parts of Langley, South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale and Fleetwood—Port Kells.[4]

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, the riding will lose all of its territory in Langley Township to Langley Township—Fraser Heights. It will also lose the area south of 64 Ave and west of 146 Street to Surrey Newton, and all of its territory north of 80 Avenue to Fleetwood—Port Kells. The changes will come into effect in the 2025 Canadian federal election.

Geography

The riding contains all of the City of Langley, most of the Cloverdale and Sullivan areas of Surrey and a strip of adjacent territory in Langley Township.

The Liberals tend to do better in the Surrey part of the riding, and in the 2019 and 2021 elections saw their strongest showing in Sullivan. The Conservatives tend to be stronger in the Langley section of the riding (both in Langley City and Township). Their strongest showing in both elections as in the neighbourhood of Routley in Langley Township. NDP support is more evenly spread out across the riding.
