Vancouver-Burrard

Vancouver-Burrard is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It first appeared on the hustings in the 1933 general election.

For the next election, the riding will be split across two new ridings. The portion west of Burrard, Georgia, Jervis will become the new Vancouver-West End riding. [ [http://www.bc-ebc.ca/final_report/google_maps/ Proposed SMP Boundaries ] ] The remainder of Vancouver-Burrard will join part of Vancouver-Fairview to become the new Vancouver-False Creek riding.
