Of the 14 Commons seats from Manitoba, the Conservative Party of Canada holds 7. The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file has no licence page we could read, so this page doesn’t place Buchanan in a riding. Buchanan is a Winnipeg neighbourhood, so city council decides its local matters.
Three governments, and who does what
Buchanan is governed by Winnipeg, with Manitoba and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
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 Winnipeg in Division No. 11, a division that governs nothing; no county council sits above the town’s.

When Buchanan votes
The last and next general elections at each level; a by-election can come in between.
| Election | Last | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg council | 28 October 2026 | 23 October 2030 |
| Legislative Assembly of Manitoba | 3 October 2023 | – |
| House of Commons | 28 April 2025 | – |
The council elected on 28 October 2026 serves until 23 October 2030, when Winnipeg council is chosen again. The The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act sets the day: the fourth Wednesday in October every four years. Voters last chose the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on 3 October 2023 and the House of Commons on 28 April 2025. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.

- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Which riding. The 2021 Census homes of a place’s residents fix its ridings, and one is shown once it holds 5% of them.
- Who holds each seat. Each MP’s name and party are Wikidata’s statements for the 45th Parliament, read in November 2026.
