Winnipeg—Birds Hill

Former federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada

Winnipeg—Birds Hill

Summary

Former federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada

Location of the riding

Winnipeg—Birds Hill was a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1979 to 1988.

This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Selkirk and St. Boniface ridings. It was contested at federal elections in 1979, 1980, and 1984. For its entire history, its Member of Parliament was New Democrat Bill Blaikie.

Boundary redistribution in 1987 abolished Winnipeg—Birds Hill. Its territory outside the city of Winnipeg plus the North Kildonan area was reassigned to Selkirk (later Selkirk—Red River), while the rest of its urban territory went to Winnipeg Transcona. Blaikie continued to serve as MP for Winnipeg Transcona under that name, and later the name of Elmwood—Transcona, from the 1988 federal election until he retired from Parliament in 2008.
