Ladysmith-Oceanside is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. Created under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution, the riding was first contested in the 2024 British Columbia general election.[1] It was created out parts of Parksville-Qualicum and Nanaimo-North Cowichan.
The district wraps around the city of Nanaimo, bringing together the town of Ladysmith and surrounding communities in the Cowichan Valley Regional District, rural areas in the inland west of the Regional District of Nanaimo, and the Oceanside region north of Greater Nanaimo, including Nanoose Bay, Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The district was controversial at its time of creation, earning criticism from some local elected officials.[2]
