Riding background
The 2013 redistricting saw the riding of Southwest Miramichi absorb parts of the former district of Miramichi-Bay du Vin, which were outside of the city of Miramichi.
As a result, the riding was renamed to Southwest Miramichi-Bay du Vin. It is geographically one of the largest ridings in the province.
