Inkster (electoral district)

Inkster was a provincial electoral division in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

[1] The riding was named after the Inkster family, who were prominent local figures at the time of the province's creation in 1870.

Inkster had a broad range of income levels and a strong working-class presence (the manufacturing sector accounting for 23% of industry in 1999).

Census reports from 1999 showed an average family income of $51,274, with 8.10% unemployment.

Like many other north-end Winnipeg ridings, Inkster traditionally supported the New Democratic Party and its predecessor, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, although Liberal Kevin Lamoureux represented the riding for all but four years from 1988 to 2010.
