Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman

The riding is located generally between Lake Winnipeg and Lake Winnipegosis and includes the northern suburbs of Winnipeg and the City of Selkirk, Manitoba. In addition to Selkirk, the riding includes the communities of St. Andrews, St. Clements, Rockwood, Woodlands, Brokenhead, Stonewall, R.M. of Gimli, and the R.M. of Bifrost.

Selkirk itself tilts toward the NDP, but it is not enough to overcome the growing conservative bent of the rest of the riding.

The electoral district was originally created in 1976 from the former districts of Portage, Selkirk and Winnipeg South Centre.

It was abolished in 1987 and divided into Selkirk, Portage—Interlake, Provencher, and Churchill ridings.

It was re-created in 1996 from Selkirk—Red River, Portage—Interlake, Provencher and Churchill.

Selkirk—Interlake lost territory to Churchill—Keewatinook Aski, Provencher and Portage—Lisgar, gained territory from Provencher, and was renamed "Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman" during the 2012 electoral redistribution.
