About the Riding
The riding was re-created through the 2012 federal redistribution, combining territories from the former New Westminster—Coquitlam and Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam districts. Port Moody, known as the "City of the Arts," sits at the head of Burrard Inlet and was the original western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The area was experiencing rapid residential growth, particularly around the Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension then under construction, which would connect Coquitlam and Port Moody to Vancouver's rapid transit network. The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, housing affordability, and transit were dominant local issues in 2015.
