The Legislative Assembly of Manitoba’s boundary file has no licence page we could read, so this page doesn’t place Central Park in a riding. As part of Winnipeg, Central Park is governed by the city’s council, not one of its own. Of the 14 Commons seats from Manitoba, the Conservative Party of Canada holds 7.
Three governments, and who does what
Central Park is governed by Winnipeg, with Manitoba and Ottawa.
The city council decides local matters.
Schools, health care, highways, municipal law.

ourcommons.ca ↗Who to ask
Green: municipal. Gold: provincial. Grey: federal.
Winnipeg has no upper-tier council: Division No. 11, its census division, exists for statistics only.

When Central Park 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 | – |
Parliament was last elected on 28 April 2025, and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba on 3 October 2023. After the 28 October 2026 election, Winnipeg council next goes to the polls on 23 October 2030. That date comes from the The Municipal Councils and School Boards Elections Act, which sets the fourth Wednesday in October every four years. Why not 2025? Elections Canada publishes those counts under non-commercial terms, and its open data stop at the 2021 election.

electionsmanitoba.ca ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which riding. Where residents of the 2021 Census live decides the riding; any riding with 5% of them or more is named.
- 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. 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.
