Burnaby (provincial electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burnaby was a provincial electoral district of British Columbia, Canada, that first appeared on the hustings in the 1924 election. For the federal electoral district of the same name, please see Burnaby (federal electoral district).

The riding originally included an eastern portion of South Vancouver. From 1933 it was identical with the Municipality of Burnaby, other than areas near to New Westminster which were included in the New Westminster electoral district. 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.
