Winnipeg—Transcona

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winnipeg—Transcona (formerly known as Winnipeg Transcona) was a federal electoral district in Manitoba, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1988 to 2004.

The riding was created in 1987 from Winnipeg North Centre and Winnipeg—Birds Hill ridings. It was originally named "Winnipeg Transcona" - an em dash was added to its name in 1996, creating "Winnipeg—Transcona". In 2003, the riding was abolished when it was redistributed into Elmwood—Transcona and Kildonan—St. Paul ridings.

For its entire history, it has been represented by New Democratic Party (NDP) Member of Parliament (MP) Bill Blaikie.
