Churchill, 20 February 1969: Michael Klewchuk

Michael Klewchuk was raised and educated in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and moved to Flin Flon, Manitoba in 1958. He later moved to Snow Lake in 1965, where he was a merchant and was active with the local Chamber of Commerce. He once took part in a delegation to Ottawa to investigate possibilities for television development in northern Manitoba.[1] Newspaper coverage from the by-election indicates that he ran a low-key campaign in 1969.[2] He received 1,109 votes (13.74%), finishing fourth against New Democratic Party candidate Joseph Borowski.
