Lorris Elijah Borden (June 20, 1877 – July 19, 1963) was a surgeon and political figure in British Columbia. After being defeated by 28 votes in a 1927 byelection, he represented Nelson in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1928 until his retirement at the 1933 election as a Conservative.
He was born in Canning, Nova Scotia, in 1877,[1] the son of Benjamin H. Borden and Sarah Cox, and was educated in Kentville and Dalhousie University, Halifax. In 1899, Borden married Neva Zwick.[1] Borden took part in a Canadian government expedition to the Arctic in 1903. During that time, he studied diseases among the Inuit and collected a number of carvings and other artifacts which were donated to the government by his wife after his death. This collection is now stored at the Canadian Museum of Civilization.[2] Borden also served as a major in the Canadian Army Medical Corps.[1] He died on July 19, 1963, in Victoria.[2][3]
His memoirs were published in 1996 by Edward L. Affleck.[4]
