Mayors, Past and Present

The Gallery of Mayors, surrounding the Council Chamber, contains portraits of the Mayors who served Winnipeg throughout its history. Up to 1955, the Mayor was elected for a one year term. From then until 1972, the term of office was for two years. After unification of the city in 1972, the term was extended to three years. In 1998 the term of office was extended to four years.

Mayors are listed from the date of Winnipeg's incorporation in the year 1873.
