Interlake-Gimli is a provincial electoral district in the Interlake region of Manitoba.
The riding was created by the 2018 provincial redistribution out of parts of Interlake, Gimli, Lakeside, and a small part of Swan River. The riding came into effect at the 2019 Manitoba general election.[1]
True to its "Interlake" name, the riding runs between Lake Winnipeg in the east and Lake Manitoba in the west. Its southernmost point is located just south of Twin Lakes Beach, and its northernmost point is just north of Gypsumville.[1]
History
The current-day Interlake-Gimli constituency is the successor to the former riding of Interlake, which had been in effect since 1981.[1][2]
Following the 2018 riding redistribution, its boundary expanded to include the now-defunct riding of Gimli (with the communities of Gimli, Winnipeg Beach, and Riverton), thereby changing its name from "Interlake" to "Interlake-Gimli".[2] This new constituency came into effect at the 2019 Manitoba general election.[1]
The Interlake riding was an NDP stronghold from 1981 until the 2016 provincial election, when incumbent Progressive Conservative Derek Johnson was voted in, being re-elected in 2019 and 2023.[1]
Gimli, on the other hand, which had existed since 1899, has been held by different parties over its history. Prior to being absorbed in the new riding in 2018, Gimli elected PC MLA Ed Helwer for 15 years, from 1988 to 2003; followed by an NDP candidate in 2007 and 2011; and lastly, a PC candidate in 2016, Jeff Wharton, who is now the incumbent MLA for Red River North, which was also created in 2018.[1]
