A lifelong Swan River resident and three-term MLA, Rick Wowchuk has delivered real results from a CT scanner and Cancer Care Centre to community facility upgrades backed by 35 years as an educator and a lifetime of service.
Why Rick Wowchuk?
A lifelong Swan River resident, three-term MLA, and former educator Rick Wowchuk has spent his life building up this community and delivering real results for the people who call it home.
Rick's record speaks for itself. He helped secure a new CT scanner for the Swan Valley Health Centre, a Cancer Care Centre in Russell, and a modern cultural arts centre in Swan River. He has supported upgrades to the Swan Valley Arena, Thunder Hill Ski Club, local libraries, and recreation centres because strong communities need strong facilities.
Before entering politics, Rick spent 35 years as an educator, shaping generations of Swan River students with values of conservation, responsibility, and community involvement. Those same values continue to guide his work in the Legislature. He has also volunteered tirelessly with organizations like Ducks Unlimited, Swan Valley Sport Fishing Enhancement, Swan Valley Outdoors, and the Duck Mountain Interpretive Centre.
Rick's commitment to Swan River isn't political it's personal. This is where he lives, where he has always lived, and where he is invested in seeing families thrive for generations to come.
Keeping Swan River strong, connected, and thriving isn't about politics it's about representing the community Rick Wowchuk has called home his entire life.

Why Edna Nabess?
Everything I am today began here in northern Manitoba.
I was born in Cormorant, raised in the traditions of Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, built a business in The Pas, and have spent my life working alongside families and communities throughout the North. The people, cultures, and communities of The Pas–Kameesak have shaped who I am. This is home.
I am running because I believe our communities deserve a strong voice someone who understands the North not because they've read about it, but because they've lived it.
Throughout my life, I have worked to create opportunities for others. Whether supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs, raising a family, opening my home to foster children, helping young people in remote communities, or serving on provincial boards, my purpose has always been the same: to leave my community stronger than I found it.
I believe The Pas–Kameesak has one of the brightest futures in Manitoba. Our region is home to hardworking people, proud Indigenous communities, abundant natural resources, thriving tourism, forestry, mining, fishing, trapping, agriculture, and small businesses that have supported northern families for generations. We have everything we need to succeed. What we need is leadership that believes in our people, works in partnership with our communities, and creates the opportunities that will keep our young people here, attract new investment, and build a stronger future for everyone.
I want to be a strong voice for every community across this riding from The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation to Cormorant, Moose Lake, Pukatawagan, Grand Rapids, Easterville, and every community in between. Every community deserves to be heard. Every family deserves opportunity. Every young person deserves a reason to build their future right here in northern Manitoba.
Politics has never been my ambition. Service has. Serving as your MLA is simply another way I can continue the work I have dedicated my life to listening to people, bringing communities together, and helping build a stronger future for northern Manitoba.
If you place your trust in me, I promise to work hard every day to earn it. I will listen with respect, lead with integrity, and always put the people of The Pas–Kameesak first.
Everything I am began here in northern Manitoba. I believe in the people of northern Manitoba. I always have, and I always will.
