The 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution concluded that the boundaries of Okanagan—Shuswap should be adjusted, and a slightly modified electoral district will be contested in future elections under the name "North Okanagan—Shuswap".

[8] The redefined North Okanagan—Shuswap gains an area previously in the district of Kootenay—Columbia comprising the small community of Needles and its environs.

These new boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, and came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.
