Maple Ridge East is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada.

A riding covering a similar area, Maple Ridge-Mission,[1] was first created in 2001 and then had its boundaries adjusted in 2008. The riding adopted its current name and had minor boundary changes from the 2024 election, which implemented the results of the 2021 redistribution.[2]

Geography

Redistribution

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows and Mission-Kent were created from Dewdney during the 1989 redistribution. In 2000, Mission-Kent and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows were used to create Maple Ridge-Mission. Finally in the 2008 redistribution, just over half of the original riding remain and to it was added a fraction of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.[1]

History

Its MLA was Randy Hawes under the former boundary system, who is a former mayor of the District of Mission. He was first elected in 2001, representing the British Columbia Liberal Party. He successfully ran again in the Abbotsford-Mission riding for the 2009 election.
