Rossland-Trail

Rossland-Trail

Rossland-Trail was the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia centred on the towns of Rossland and Trail, in the West Kootenay. The riding first appeared in the 1924 election as the result of a redistribution of the former ridings of Greenwood and Trail, and lasted until redistribution in 1996. The same area is now part of West Kootenay-Boundary.

For other ridings in the Kootenay region, please see Kootenay (electoral districts).
