7 of the 14 MPs from Manitoba belong to the Conservative Party of Canada. Locally, Swan River is run as a town. Who leads Swan River’s council isn’t on an open record: there’s no open list of councils in Manitoba. The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file has no licence page we could read, so this page doesn’t place Swan River in a riding.
Three governments, and who does what
Swan River, a town 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
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
The census places Swan River in Division No. 20, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

When Swan River votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.

The 2025 results are left out because elections.ca’s terms forbid commercial reproduction; the open catalogue’s latest is 2021. 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 Swan River council is chosen again. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act fixes that date: the fourth Wednesday in October every four years.

- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Not on this page. No council budgets, no band councils, and no party tally for the council, which the open lists don’t record.
- Who holds each seat. Who holds each seat is read from Wikidata, so a very recent change in the Commons may not appear yet.
- Which riding. Each place is put in its ridings by where its 2021 Census residents live; a riding holding 5% or more of them is listed.
