St. Boniface—St. Vital

St. Boniface—St. Vital (; formerly Saint Boniface–Saint Vital) is a federal electoral district in Winnipeg, Manitoba that has been represented in the House of Commons of Canada since 1925.

The district covers roughly the southern portion of the city of Winnipeg, east of the Red River. In particular, it contains the Franco-Manitoban community of Saint Boniface and roughly the northern two-thirds of the community of St. Vital. The riding (as federal electoral districts are called in Canada) has a sizeable French population (16% according to the last census) and was a Liberal Party stronghold for most of its history. It is the only riding in Western Canada that regularly elects francophone candidates to parliament.

Following the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, this riding was renamed St. Boniface—St. Vital in English for the 2025 Canadian federal election. It gained the neighbourhood of Minnetonka from Winnipeg South.

History

In 1996, its English name was changed from "St. Boniface" to "Saint Boniface". Then, Saint Boniface was renamed "Saint Boniface—Saint Vital" during the 2012 electoral redistribution, losing territory to Winnipeg South and Elmwood—Transcona while gaining territory from Winnipeg South.

The riding has traditionally been held by the Liberal Party. Conservative Shelly Glover, who was elected twice, has been the only centre-right candidate to win more than one full term in the riding's history. The riding returned to the Liberal Party in 2015 as part of a Liberal near-sweep of Winnipeg.
