Summary: A small working-class riding directly northeast of downtown, longtime NDP MLA Jim Maloway seeks re-election in Elmwood.
Boundaries: Elmwood is bordered by the Red River to the west, Gateway Road to the east, and Mossdale and Dunbeath Avenue to the north.
Last Election: Maloway defeated PC candidate David Hutten by over 1400 votes, 54-34 per cent.
