Coquitlam-Port Coquitlam
ELECTS RON MCKINNON, LIBERAL
What is said to be an extremely tight race, the vote could go to any one of the top three parties, according to polls. Coquitlam usually goes Conservative but Port Coquitlam tends to elect an NDP candidate. With the new redistributed riding, provincial MLA Doug Horne will be tooth-and-nail with former journalist Sara Norman.
Here is a map of the district:
