Nicholas Hryhorczuk

Nicholas Apoluner Hryhorczuk (December 17, 1888 – November 23, 1979) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada.

[2] Born in Buchachky (now in Kolomyia Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast), then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hryhorczuk came to Canada in 1897 with his family, who settled north of Gilbert Plains, Manitoba.

Hryhorczuk was unexpectedly defeated in the 1936 provincial election by William Lisowsky, a candidate of the Manitoba Social Credit League.

Lisowsky did not seek re-election in the 1941 election, however, and Hryhorczuk was narrowly returned[1] over Fred Zaplitny of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF).

In the 1945 provincial election, CCF candidate Michael Sawchuk defeated Hryhorczuk[1] by 338 votes.
