As part of Vancouver, Kitsilano is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own. The 2 ridings of Vancouver-South Granville and Vancouver-Point Grey each take in part of Kitsilano for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The 2024 result is the most recent open record of its MLA; changes since then aren’t in it. Most of Kitsilano (59% of residents) is represented by Wade Grant, and much of the rest by Taleeb Noormohamed.
