Chilliwack was the successor riding to
Westminster-Chilliwhack, which was one of four subdivisions of the old rural
Westminster riding, the others being the ridings that became, after similar name-changes,
Delta,
Dewdney and
Richmond, which are the parent ridings of all current
Fraser Valley electoral districts. Chilliwack riding lasted until the
1996 election. In
2001 the area became represented by
Chilliwack-Kent and
Chilliwack-Sumas. The latter takes in part of the city of Chilliwack and Sumas Prairie (part of the city of Abbotsford), while the other includes Agassiz, the municipality of Kent, and the village of Harrison Hot Springs, as well as a certain amount of lands along the banks of the Fraser towards Hope. Following the 2008 redistribution, Chilliwack was reconstituted, primarily out of Chilliwack-Sumas, while much of Chilliwack-Kent was joined with parts of the
Fraser Canyon previously in
Yale-Lillooet to form
Chilliwack-Hope. == Members of the Legislative Assembly ==
