North Victoria

North Victoria was a provincial electoral district in British Columbia, Canada. It was created from a partition of the old Victoria riding, one of the province's first twelve, and first appeared on the hustings in 1894 as part of a redistribution of the old Victoria riding, along with South Victoria. For other Victoria-area ridings please see List of electoral districts in Greater Victoria.
