The Federal riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa is getting a name change. Starting April 1st, 2024, the riding will be known as Riding Mountain in all federal elections according to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission's final report for Manitoba.
By population, it's the second smallest riding in Manitoba at just under 91,000 citizens. There was a proposal on the table to move some boundaries in the northern part of the riding, which would've seen some residents become a part of the Churchill—Keewatinook Aski riding, which is currently the smallest in the province at just over 81,000.
After consultations, it was decided that proposal did not fit as the area didn't match the geography, economy, trading or communications patterns of Churchill—Keewatinook Aski.
