Cariboo North is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was created by 1990 legislation dividing the previous two-member district of Cariboo, which came into effect for the 1991 BC election.

Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution which took effect in the 2024 BC election, the district was eliminated. Most of the riding was replaced by Prince George-North Cariboo, a larger electoral district extending into the southern suburbs of Prince George.

Geography

As of the 2020 provincial election, Cariboo North comprises the northern portion of the Cariboo Regional District. It is located in central British Columbia. Communities in the electoral district consist of Quesnel and Wells. [1]
