| Description | This is an urban riding, located east of Vancouver on the southern shore of Burrard Inlet. It contains that part of Burnaby bounded in the east, north and west by the city limits, and on the south by the Kingsway.
The 2001 census counted 108,891 residents, of whom more than 44 per cent are immigrants. About 22 per cent of residents are of Chinese origin.
Burnaby-Douglas has a diverse economy, which includes retail, manufacturing and other services. Simon Fraser University is located here. Residents are well-educated; more than 17 per cent hold a university degree. The average family earns $63,749 per year, and unemployment is 7.5 per cent.
This riding was created in 1996, drawing three-quarters of its population from the old Burnaby-Kingsway riding. In 2004 it retained 85 per cent of its population, and added about 7,500 people from Vancouver South-Burnaby.
