The Seine River (French: Rivière Seine) is a tributary of the Red River of the North that runs through southeastern Manitoba, Canada. It is one of the four rivers of the city of Winnipeg. Its name comes from the Aboriginal word Tchimâhâgânisipi from Tchimâhâgân (meaning draw net or seine net) and sipi (river). The river rises in the Sandilands Provincial Forest near Steinbach and passes by or through the communities of Marchand, La Broquerie, Ste. Anne, and Lorette before reaching the Red River Floodway near the Winnipeg city limits. At this point the river's channel is diverted under the Floodway into what is known as the "Seine River Siphon", which allows a flow of up to 4.5 cubic metres per second (160 cu ft/s); any additional flow is diverted onto the Floodway. During a wet spring, the river often overflows its banks, sometimes flooding nearby houses. During a dry summer, the river is often reduced to a trickle. Within the city, the Seine travels a tortuously meandering course, reaching the Red River at St. Boniface just north of The Forks. The lower section of its course in the city marks the east–west boundary between the southern section of St. Boniface and the suburb of St. Vital. It is a typical meandering river with a single main channel embanked within a flat, shallow valley. The river's banks are heavily treed, but pollution has been an issue in the city of Winnipeg.

Elmwood is a primarily working-class residential area of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is the only part of the historic (i.e., pre-amalgamation) city of Winnipeg located east of the Red River. It includes the areas of Glenelm, which is more affluent and lies west of Henderson Highway, most of Chalmers, Talbot-Grey, and East Elmwood, which was developed primarily in the 1950s. Elmwood is mostly composed of single family residential homes, though there are numerous low-rise apartment blocks, townhouses, and two high rise apartment complexes, which are both social housing projects. The area was named for the Elmwood Cemetery, which opened in 1902. Prior to this, the area was known as the Louise Bridge District or Kildonan Village. Elmwood is bordered by the lane between Harbison and Larsen Avenues (extended) on the North, Panet Road on the East, Thomas and Tyne Avenues and the Canadian Pacific mainline on the South, and the Red River on the west. Elmwood was once the southern part of the Municipality of Kildonan and began to develop shortly after the Louise Bridge was opened in 1881. It was annexed to Winnipeg in 1906 after a petition by the residents who wanted city services in their rapidly developing neighbourhood. It was originally a separate ward of Winnipeg, Ward Seven, but later it was joined with the North End as part of Ward Three. Until the 1950s, Elmwood was one of the most industrialized areas of Winnipeg and had a large meat packing plant, a furniture manufacturer, and a box factory, among other operations. All of these have now closed, and the area is almost completely de-industrialized. Since the advent of the unicity in 1971, Elmwood is often lumped together with East Kildonan, to the ire of residents of East Kildonan, which was once a separate city. As of the 2016 census Elmwood has about 17,500 residents, a decline of about 5,000 since 1971. The average household income is about three-quarters of the Winnipeg average, with 78 per cent of residents making less than $50,000 per year. Nearly a quarter of residents do not possess a high school education, and only 41.5% of Elmwood residents have any form of post-secondary education. This is 12% lower than the city average.

St. Boniface (French: Saint-Boniface) is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It should not be confused with the federal electoral division of the same name, which includes most of the provincial riding's territory but has expanded boundaries and a larger population base. The riding has existed, in one form or another, since the province's creation. In Manitoba's first general election (1870), the riding was divided into St. Boniface East and St. Boniface West. It became a single constituency in 1874, and has existed continuously since then. The St. Boniface constituency elected its representation by preferential balloting from 1926 to 1953, a single member by instant runoff voting from 1926 to 1945 and two members by single transferable voting in 1949 and 1953. On all other occasions, it has been a single-member constituency, electing its member by First Past The Post. St. Boniface is located in the central-eastern Winnipeg. Its boundaries roughly correspond with the historical community of Saint Boniface, Manitoba, which was a distinct civic jurisdiction before being amalgamated with the City of Winnipeg in 1971. The riding's population in 1996 was 19,646. The average family income in 1999 was $45,193, with an unemployment rate of 10.5%. The service sector accounts for 18% of the riding's industry, with a further 15% in health and social services. St. Boniface has historically been home to the largest francophone community in the Winnipeg area. According to a 1999 census, 34% of the riding's residents speak French as their first language—the highest rate in the province. The riding's aboriginal population is 8%, and almost 19% of the population is over 65 years of age. For many years after the introduction of partisan politics in 1882, St. Boniface was a hotly contested battleground riding between the provincial Liberals and Conservatives (although candidates of the parliamentary left were also elected in the 1930s and 1940s). During the 1950s and 1960s, it was generally regarded as a safe seat for the Liberals. In 1969, St. Boniface MLA Laurent Desjardins decided to sit as a Liberal Democrat, supporting the New Democratic Party government of Edward Schreyer. He formally joined the NDP in 1971, and aside from an overturned election result in 1973, continued to represent the area until 1988. The provincial Liberals recaptured the seat in 1988, during a period of resurgence for that party in the province. After Neil Gaudry's death in 1999, Greg Selinger recaptured the seat for the NDP. He was reelected in 2003 with about 75 percent of the popular vote, and was named premier of Manitoba in 2009. Selinger left politics two years after the NDP was heavily defeated at the 2016 provincial election, and newly elected Liberal leader Dougald Lamont won the seat at the ensuing by-election. In the 2023 Manitoba general election, Lamont was defeated by the NDP and resigned as Liberal leader.

Concordia is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It is in the northeastern part of the city of Winnipeg. It is bordered to the south by St. Boniface, to the west by Elmwood, to the north by Rossmere, and to the east by Radisson. The riding was created by redistribution in 1979, and formally came into existence with the provincial election of 1981. Concordia is an ethnically diverse riding, with 16% of its human population born outside Canada. According to a 1999 census report, 9% of the riding's residents are aboriginal, with a further 9% of German background and 7% of Ukrainian background. Concordia's population in 1996 was 20,318. The average family income of the riding in 1999 was $39,613, one of the lowest in the province. Thirty-two percent of the riding's residents are listed as low-income, and 21% of its households are single-parent families. The unemployment rate in 1996 was 9.50%. The riding's primary industry in 1999 was manufacturing (18%), followed by services (14%) and the retail trade (14%). The New Democratic Party has represented Concordia since its creation. Gary Doer was its Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from 1986, leader of the NDP from 1988, and Premier of Manitoba from 1999; he gave up all three of these positions when he was appointed as Ambassador to the United States in 2009. He had been re-elected in 2003 and 2007 with 77% and 70% of the popular vote. A by-election to succeed Doer was scheduled for March 2, 2010. In the event, Matt Wiebe, who previously worked for Doer as a constituency assistant, retained Concordia for the NDP, and he has continued to represent it since.
