BC Electoral Boundaries Commission recommends the creation of six additional electoral districts, including a new one for Burnaby.
The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission has released its proposals to change electoral districts in the province in creating six new ridings, one of which would be in Burnaby.
"British Columbia is a growing province," commission chair Justice Nitya Iyer said in a news release. The commission is proposing Burnaby Centre be situated on the west side of the city and would follow Boundary Road in the west; a line bounded by Highway 1, Douglas Road and the Lougheed Highway and Sperling Avenue in the north; Imperial Street in the east and Kingsway in the south.
The committee says it proposes adjustments to the district that would remove the neighbourhood of Eastburn and add part of New Westminster bounded by McBride Boulebard, E. 8th Avenue and Cumberland Street. Burnaby North would be located on the northwest side of Burnaby and contain the neighbourhoods of Burnaby Heights, Capitol Hill, Willingdon Heights and Brentwood Park.
