Leonard Barkman

Leonard A. Barkman (born July 12, 1920 in Steinbach, Manitoba, died January 5, 1979) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a member of the Manitoba legislature from 1962 to 1973, sitting as a member of the Liberal Party.

Barkman was educated in Steinbach-area schools, and operated a small business in the city. He also served as mayor of Steinbach for a number of years.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the election of 1962, defeating Progressive Conservative Peter Thiessen by over 800 votes in the riding of Carillon. He was re-elected by an expanded margin in the 1966 election. In the 1969 election, he was re-elected in the redistributed riding of La Verendrye.

Support for the Manitoba Liberal Party declined in the 1970s, and Barkman was defeated by Progressive Conservative Robert Banman by 525 votes in the provincial election of 1973. He did not seek a return to the legislature after this time.

Barkman's son, Wayne Leonard Barkman, is currently a small business owner in Steinbach.
