Bellechasse—Etchemins—Montmagny—L'Islet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bellechasse—Etchemins—Montmagny—L'Islet (formerly known as Bellechasse—Montmagny—L'Islet) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1997 to 2004.

It was created as "Bellechasse—Montmagny—L'Islet" in 1996 from Bellechasse electoral district. It was renamed "Bellechasse—Etchemins—Montmagny—L'Islet" in 1997. It was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Lévis—Bellechasse and Rivière-du-Loup—Montmagny ridings.

The district consisted of the cities of L'Islet, Lac Etchemin, Montmagny and Saint-Pamphile, the Regional County Municipalities of Bellechasse, L'Islet, Montmagny and Les Etchemins (except the municipalities of Saint-Benjamin, Saint-Prosper, Saint-Zacharie and Sainte-Aurélie).
