Winnipeg Centre (single Member Constituency, 1958-1981)
The single-member electoral division of Winnipeg Centre was created with the 1958 election, after the four-member division of the same name was eliminated.
The constituency was represented by Progressive Conservative James Cowan from 1958 to 1969, and was considered safe for the PC Party. Joseph "Bud" Boyce of the New Democratic Party won it in 1969, and held it until its abolition in 1981. Boyce left the NDP to join the newly-formed Progressive Party prior to the 1981 election.
