Wynyard (provincial electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wynyard is a former provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, centred on the town of Wynyard. The district was created before the 3rd Saskatchewan general election in 1912 as "Quill Plains". Renamed "Wynyard" in 1917, the constituency was abolished before the 8th Saskatchewan general election in 1934. It is now part of the Arm River-Watrous and Kelvington-Wadena constituencies.

In the 1924 Wynyard by-election, Dr. T.A. Patrick campaigned for the Progressive Party, with a platform that included a "Saskatchewan first" position and the party having no formal tie to either major party. He also called for the use of single transferable voting, Senate reform, and the completion of the Hudsons Bay railway.[1]
