Yale-North

Yale-North was a provincial electoral district in the British Columbia legislature that appeared only in the 1894, 1898 and 1900 elections. It and its sister ridings, Yale-West and Yale-East, were created from the older three-member Yale provincial electoral district, which was one of the province's first twelve ridings in 1871. For the 1903 election the riding name Yale was restored to an adapted version of Yale-West. Yale-North roughly corresponds today to the Kamloops-Salmon Arm region.
