Encyclopedia > Fort Whyte

Fort Whyte is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created in 1999, after the provincial electoral boundaries commission determined that southwestern Winnipeg had experienced enough population growth to deserve an extra seat. The Fort Whyte riding was designed from territory which formerly belonged to the ridings of Fort Garry and St. Norbert.


Fort Whyte is bordered on the east by Fort Garry and St. Norbert, to the south by St. Norbert, to the north by River Heights and Tuxedo, and to the west by Charleswood and Morris.


The riding's population in 1996 was 19,396. As of 1999, the average family income was $78,422, the second-highest in the province. The unemployment rate is 4.00%, and only 4% of the population is above 65 years of age. Almost 30% of the population have university degrees, again the second highest rating in the province.


Fort Whyte is an ethnically diverse riding, with an immigrant population of 21%. Eight per cent of the riding's residents are Chinese, 5% are German and 4% are East Indian.


The health and social service sector accounts for 13% of Fort Whyte's industry, with a further 12% in educational services.


The riding has been represented by John Loewen of the Progressive Conservative Party since its creation, and is generally regarded as safe for that party.
