Lisgar (Manitoba)
Lisgar was an electoral district of the Canadian province of Manitoba for the Lower House of Canada from 1871 to 1988 .
After the new province was founded with the Manitoba Act in 1870 , its first lieutenant governor Adams George Archibald determined four electoral districts for the House of Commons in 1871 according to the provisions of the Act, Lisgar was one of them. The first choice there won with John Christian Schultz, an outspoken opponent of Archibald. In 1987 the district was officially dissolved and in 1988 it became part of the constituencies of Brandon-Souris , Lisgar-Marquette and Provencher .
