Fort Whyte
Fort Whyte

Fort Whyte is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created in 1999, after the provincial electoral boundaries commission determined that southwestern Winnipeg had experienced enough population growth to deserve an extra seat. Fort Whyte was created from territory formerly belonging to Tuxedo, Fort Garry and St. Norbert. Following Manitoba's 2018 electoral redistribution, Fort Whyte is bordered to the east by Fort Garry, to the south by Waverley, to the west by Roblin, and to the north by River Heights and Tuxedo.The constituency's population in 2018 was 21,780. The average family income in 2018 was $117,535. The unemployment rate is 4.9%, and 19.2% of the population is above 65 years of age. Almost 42% of the population have university degrees. Health and social services account for 13.5% of Fort Whyte's industry, with a further 10.4% in Retail Trade. Fort Whyte is an ethnically diverse constituency, with an immigrant population of 25.6%. 6.7% of the riding's residents are East Indian, 5.6% are Chinese. The constituency has been held by the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba (PCs) for its entire existence, and has always been comfortably safe for that party. The riding's first Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), John Loewen, won it handily in 1999 even as the Tories were soundly defeated by the New Democratic Party of Manitoba in that year's provincial election, after having been in government for over eleven years. On September 23, 2005, Loewen announced that he was leaving provincial politics to seek the Liberal Party of Canada's nomination for Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia in the federal election anticipated. He formally resigned from the legislature on September 26. On December 13, 2005, a by-election was held to fill Loewen's seat. The winner was another Tory, Hugh McFadyen. A few months later, McFadyen became leader of the provincial PCs. McFadyen was easily re-elected in the 2007 provincial election, but was one of only four PC MLAs returned from Winnipeg. After the PCs were again defeated in 2011, McFadyen announced he would retire from politics as soon as a successor was chosen. Former provincial MLA and federal MP Brian Pallister was elected his successor, and easily won Fort Whyte in the ensuing by-election. Pallister served as Premier of Manitoba while MLA for Fort Whyte from 2016, leading the party to a second electoral mandate in 2019, until 2021, when he resigned first as premier and later as an MLA. A by-election to replace his vacancy was held on March 22, 2022, in which another Progressive Conservative, Obby Khan, won the seat.

Fort Garry is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba that existed from 1958 to 2011 and was re-created in 2019. It was first created by redistribution in 1957 from parts of Iberville, Assiniboia and St. Boniface, and formally existed beginning with the 1958 provincial election. The riding is in the south-central and southwestern region of the city of Winnipeg. It is named for the historical Fort Garry which was occupied by supporters of Louis Riel during the Red River Rebellion of 1870. Fort Garry was bordered to the east by Riel and St. Vital (across the Red River of the North), to the south by St. Norbert, to the north by Lord Roberts, and to the west by Fort Whyte. It was a mostly middle-class residential area, with some small businesses. It contained the University of Manitoba's main campus until electoral redistribution in 2008 took effect at the 2011 Manitoba general election, placing the campus in the new district of Fort Richmond. The riding's population in 1996 was 20,383. In 1999, the average family income was $50,720, and the unemployment rate was 6.40% (though, conversely, it may be noted that 26% of the riding's residents are listed as low-income). Over 16% of Fort Garry's residents were immigrants, with 5% listing German as their ethnic origin. Almost 23% of the riding's residents have a university degree. The service sector accounted for 17% of Fort Garry's industry, with a further 12% each in the retail trade and educational services. Historically, Fort Garry was a safe seat for the Progressive Conservatives, who represented the riding from 1958 to 1988 and again from 1990 to 2003. Future Premier Sterling Lyon was Fort Garry's first member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). In the provincial election of 1999, however, the New Democratic Party (NDP) came within only 30 votes of winning the riding. They made it their primary target in the 2003 election, and won it for the first time in their history. Fort Garry's last MLA before dissolution was Kerri Irvin-Ross of the NDP, who was re-elected in the 2007 provincial election with 53% of the vote. Following the 2008 electoral boundary redistribution, Fort Garry was largely divided between the new ridings of Fort Garry-Riverview and Fort Richmond, with a portion going to St. Norbert. Following the 2018 redistribution, the riding was re-created from Fort Garry-Riverview, Fort Rouge, River Heights, and Fort Richmond. Fort Garry was contested in the 2019 provincial election. It is bordered by Fort Rouge and River Heights to the north; Fort Rouge, Riel, and St. Vital to the east, the latter two across the Red River; Fort Richmond and Waverley to the south; and Fort Whyte to the west.
