Winnipeg’s council runs St. John's, one of the city’s neighbourhoods. St. John's’ riding for the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba isn’t named: the licence for the province’s boundary file couldn’t be read, so it isn’t used. Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal Party of Canada) is the MP for Winnipeg North, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in St. John's.
