Springfield (provincial electoral district)

Springfield is a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was created by the province's first-ever redistribution in 1874, and has existed continuously since that time except for the period from 1914 to 1920.

Springfield is located to the immediate east of the City of Winnipeg. It is bordered to the north by Selkirk and Gimli, to the east by Lac Du Bonnet and to the south by La Verendrye. The riding includes the municipalities of Springfield and East St. Paul , as well as Anola , Dugald , Bird's Hill and Oakbank . Before 1989, the riding stretched as far as the Ontario border; now, it is significantly smaller.

The riding's population in 1996 was 18,599. As of 1999, the average family income was $67,794, and the unemployment rate was 4.50%. Manufacturing accounts for 12% of all industry in the riding, followed by 11% in the service sector.

Springfield has significant Ukrainian and German populations, at 9% and 8% respectively.

Springfield has been represented by various political parties over its long history, without any one party dominating for an extended period of time. This pattern may be changing, however: the riding has been represented by the Progressive Conservatives since 1990, and current MLA Ron Schuler was re-elected with over 60% of the vote in 2003. On a notional level at least, the seat appears safe for the Tories.
