ColumbiaâÂÂKootenayâÂÂSouthern Rockies is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1997. Until 2025, the riding was known as Kootenay-Columbia.
Consisting of:
The riding borders the US states of Idaho, Montana and Washington, more than any other Canadian riding.
This district was created in 1996 from parts of Kootenay East and Kootenay WestâÂÂRevelstoke ridings.
It was amended in 2003 to include a small part of KootenayâÂÂBoundaryâÂÂOkanagan.
The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the electoral boundaries of KootenayâÂÂColumbia should be adjusted, and a modified electoral district of the same name will be contested in future elections. The redefined KootenayâÂÂColumbia gains the communities of Nelson, Salmo and Kaslo and their respective surrounding areas from the current electoral district of British Columbia Southern Interior, while losing Nakusp and area to the new district of South OkanaganâÂÂWest Kootenay and Needles and area to the new district of North OkanaganâÂÂShuswap. These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.
This riding has elected the following members of Parliament:
Its member of Parliament (MP) is Rob Morrison, first elected in 2019 as a Conservative candidate.
