Metro Vancouver Electoral Area A
Metro Vancouver Electoral Area A is a part of Metro Vancouver in British Columbia. It includes several unincorporated areas in the MVRD: the University Endowment Lands and the University of British Columbia, west of the City of Vancouver; Bowyer, Passage, and Barnston Islands; the west side of Pitt Lake; the northern portion of Indian Arm; and a large area to the north of the North Shore that is mostly mountainous and sparsely populated except for certain subdivisions between Horseshoe Bay and the Village of Lions Bay.
The Electoral Area is represented by a director on the board of the MVRD. This is an elected position, with a four-year term (three years prior to the elections in November 2014). The director for 2014 to 2018 is Maria Harris.[1]
