Geography
[edit]Located in the eastern part of Maple Ridge, the district comprises the communities of Stave Falls, Silverhill, Ruskin, Whonnock, Webster's Corners, Albion and Yennadon.
History
[edit]Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows and Mission-Kent were created from Dewdney during the 1989 redistribution. In 2000, Mission-Kent was combined with parts of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows to create Maple Ridge-Mission. Finally, in the 2008 redistribution, just over half of the original riding remained, and a portion of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows was added to it.
