Hi Janet: My husband says he knew of a Burnie family in Smithers, B. C. in the 1920's and 30's. The fellows name was Howard - he drowned and my husband believes there is a lake named after him. There were two sons, can't remember their names. Mrs. Burnie looked after my husband for awhile when he was small. If that should be the right Burnie - there are places in Smithers that could give you info. We live about two hours away by car. My husbands parents came from Scotland but haven't had any luck tracing his father.
