Alberni (electoral district)
Encyclopedia
Alberni was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia
. It originally appeared in the British Columbia general election, 1890
and then, after being merged into Cowichan-Alberni
for the 1894 election
, was renamed Alberni riding in the election of 1898
. The riding lasted by that name until 1933 and 1937, when the name Alberni-Nanaimo
was used. In 1941 the Alberni riding name was restored. The area is now represented by Alberni-Qualicum
.
