History

[edit]

This riding was originally created in 1914 from Winnipeg and Selkirk ridings.

In 1924, it was abolished, and parts transferred to Winnipeg North Centre and Winnipeg South Centre ridings.

In 1997, it was re-created from Winnipeg North Centre and Winnipeg South Centre.

This riding was left unchanged after the 2012 electoral redistribution.
