Division of Shawinigan (Legislative Council)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Shawinigan roughly covered the Mauricie area in Quebec, Canada, and was represented by one Legislative Councillor in the Parliament of Quebec. Three legislative councillors represented the division from 1867 until the Legislative Council of Quebec (upper house) was abolished in 1968.
