Burnaby (provincial electoral district)

Burnaby (provincial electoral district)

Burnaby was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia that first appeared on the hustings in the 1928 election. For the federal electoral district of the same name, please see Burnaby (electoral district).

Demographics

Political geography

The riding was identical with the Municipality of Burnaby, other than areas near to New Westminster which were included in the New Westminster. At the time of the riding's creation much of Burnaby was still semi-rural and development was confined to the Kingsway corridor (then "Westminster Highway"), along Hastings Street and Broadway (near Lougheed Highway), and along the two mainlines of the British Columbia Electric Railway via Central Park and Burnaby Lake.
