Winnipeg Centre (provincial Electoral Division)
Winnipeg Centre was a provincial electoral division in Manitoba, Canada. It existed on three separate occasions.
It was initially created for the 1888 provincial election, and was abolished in the 1920 election when Winnipeg was made into a single ten-member constituency. It was then re-established for the elections of 1949 and 1953, as a four-member constituency. This constituency was eliminated in 1958 and divided into several single-member constituencies, one of which was also called Winnipeg Centre. This single-member constituency lasted until 1981, when it too was eliminated through redistribution.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
