WINNIPEG – Three candidates are vying for a seat in Manitoba’s legislature in the upcoming byelection in the Spruce Woods constituency.
Elections Manitoba says Ray Berthelette is running for the governing NDP, Stephen Reid is carrying the Liberal banner and Colleen Robbins is hoping to keep the seat blue for the Progressive Conservatives.
Berthelette is a former real estate agent who recently worked as an executive assistant to cabinet minister Glen Simard.
Reid is a teacher and Robbins is a longtime Tory volunteer.
The Aug. 26 byelection is being held to replace Grant Jackson, who resigned in March to run for federal office.
The seat in western Manitoba is a longtime Progressive Conservative stronghold, with the Tories capturing more than 60 per cent of the vote there in 2023.
Advance voting begins Saturday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 11, 2025.
