West Kootenay-Boundary was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada from 2001 to 2009.
The seat combined the Rossland/Trail/Castlegar area (the putative West Kootenay component) that had previously been in Rossland-Trail with the Boundary Country, which had been in the Okanagan-Boundary riding (1991–1996) and prior to that the Boundary-Similkameen riding.

Famous quotes containing the word west:
“Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door. Jack McCall walked in, shot him through the back of the head, and rushed from the place, only to be captured shortly afterward. Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.””
—State of South Dakota, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
