Churchill, 20 February 1969: Michael Klewchuk edit
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.
