Not to be confused with Burnaby-New Westminster (provincial electoral district).

New Westminster—Burnaby is a federal electoral district in British Columbia, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1988 to 1997 and since 2015.

## History

[edit]

The 1988–1997 edition of this riding was created in 1987 from parts of Burnaby and New Westminster—Coquitlam ridings. The riding consisted of the City of New Westminster and the southern part of the District Municipality of Burnaby. It was abolished in 1996 when it was merged into New Westminster—Coquitlam—Burnaby.

The riding was recreated following the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and was legally defined in the 2013 representation order.[3] It was created from parts of Burnaby—New Westminster and New Westminster—Coquitlam. Its boundaries were legally defined in the 2013 representation order, which came into effect upon the call of the 42nd Canadian federal election, scheduled for October 2015.[4]

Under the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution the riding will be renamed New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville.[5] In the next Canadian federal election the seat will gain much of the Maillardville area from Port Moody—Coquitlam and lose all of its territory in Burnaby west of Canada Way to either Burnaby Central or Vancouver Fraserview—South Burnaby.[6]
