Without a readable licence for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s ridings map, Lakeshore isn’t placed in a riding here. Statistics Canada lists Lakeshore as a rural municipality. In Manitoba, councils aren’t on any open list we can use, so Lakeshore’s mayor isn’t named. 7 of the 14 MPs from Manitoba belong to the Conservative Party of Canada.
Three governments, and who does what
Lakeshore, a rural municipality in Manitoba, shares the work with the province and Ottawa.
Local services, by-laws and property tax.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.
gov.mb.ca ↗Passports, pensions, EI, defence, immigration.
ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask

No county or regional government sits above Lakeshore’s council; Division No. 17 is only a census division, a unit for statistics.

When Lakeshore votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Lakeshore council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
Provincially the last general election was on 3 October 2023, for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba; federally, on 28 April 2025. The council elected on 28 October 2026 serves until 23 October 2030, when Lakeshore council is chosen again. It is the fourth Wednesday in October every four years, as the The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act provides. The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021.

- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Who holds each seat. Wikidata, edited by volunteers, is the source for each MP, and it can trail a change of seat by a little.
- Not on this page. Council budgets, band councils, and which party runs the council: the open lists carry no party, and most councils have none.
- Election results. The 2019 and 2021 figures are Elections Canada’s official counts on the ridings drawn in 2013; the “today’s boundaries” figures are its transposition of the 2021 vote onto the 2023 ridings, an estimate built from polling divisions.
