Winnipeg—Fort Garry

Former federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada

Winnipeg—Fort Garry

Summary

Former federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada

Location of Winnipeg—Fort Garry within the [[Winnipeg]] area

Winnipeg—Fort Garry was a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1979 to 1988. It consisted of the Fort Rouge and Fort Garry areas of Winnipeg.

This riding was created in 1976. Most of the territory from the former Winnipeg South riding transferred to this district, except for the River Heights area, which went to Winnipeg—Assiniboine. It was contested at federal elections in 1979, 1980, and 1984. For its entire history, its member of parliament was Liberal Lloyd Axworthy.

Boundary redistribution in 1987 abolished Winnipeg—Fort Garry: Fort Garry was reassigned to Winnipeg South and Fort Rouge to Winnipeg South Centre, both of which were re-formed with considerably different territory than prior to the federal election of 1979. Axworthy continued to serve as MP for Winnipeg South Centre from the 1988 federal election until he retired from Parliament in 2000.
