Burnaby—Douglas was a federal electoral district in the province of British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1997 to 2012. It was named after the city of Burnaby, as well as Douglas Road and Tommy Douglas, an MP who represented the area in the 1960s.[3]

History
