Parksville-Qualicum is the name of a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It was first contested in the 1991 election. Following redistribution, the area became part of the Nanaimo-Parksville and Alberni-Qualicum ridings. It was again contested in the 2009 general election, and was won by Liberal, Ron Cantelon. The riding consists of the city of Parksville, the town of Qualicum Beach and the communities of Lantzville and Nanoose Bay.
Under the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution, a substantial reorganization of electoral boundaries in the Nanaimo and mid-Island area will see Parksville-Qualicum dissolved in 2024, with its territory split between Ladysmith-Oceanside and Nanaimo-Lantzville.[1]
