The son of L. R. Burch and Jane Ann McRae, Burch was born in Carberry and educated at Brucefield School in Manitoba.[2] He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1949 election in the constituency of Norfolk—Beautiful Plains, defeating his Progressive Conservative opponent by 633 votes. He was re-elected by a greater margin in the 1953 provincial election.[1] Burch served as a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government during his time in the legislature.
He was married twice: first to Agnes Mabel Mann in 1912 and then to Lavina Jane Campbell in 1934.[2]
The Liberal-Progressives were defeated in the 1958 election, and Burch was defeated by Progressive Conservative candidate Marcel Boulic in the redistributed constituency of Cypress.[1]
