This riding, in Northwestern B.C. on the Pacific Ocean, has a border with Alaska as most of its northern border.
It includes the sparsely-populated Queen Charlotte Islands, Prince Rupert in the northeast corner as well as Bella Coola and Bella Bella in the south.
Fishing fleets operate out of Prince Rupert.
The Queen Charlotte waters are an important source of halibut, salmon, herring, rockfish, crabs and abalone.
In the 2006 census, the aboriginal population was 44.5% – the highest in the province.
In the 2008 redistribution, kept 90% of the riding; added a small area from Cariboo South.
