Timeline
Anita Ruth Neville (born July 22, 1942) is a Canadian politician from Manitoba, who has served as the province's 26th lieutenant governor since 2022.
Neville was for several years a school trustee on the Winnipeg School Board, representing Ward One in the Winnipeg School Division from 1986 to 2000.
Neville regularly topped the poll in her three-member constituency.
She served as Chair of the Board for five years (1987–1989; 1996–1998), and also chaired its finance committee for some time.
During the 1990s, she was a member of the Canadian delegation which was responsible for monitoring elections in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This riding is usually considered as one of the few safe seats for the provincial Liberals, and was previously held by party leader Sharon Carstairs prior to her appointment to the Senate of Canada in 1994.
Amid an ongoing drop in support for the Liberals, however, Neville came second with 4,435 votes, whereas Progressive Conservative candidate Mike Radcliffe got 5,429.
In the 1995 provincial election in Manitoba, Neville was a Liberal candidate in the upscale west-central Winnipeg riding of River Heights.
Later in 1995, Neville was re-elected as a Winnipeg school trustee, finishing in first place in Ward One with 13,828 votes.
In the 1999 election, she chaired the successful campaign of provincial Liberal leader Jon Gerrard in River Heights.
She was also a Liberal member of the House of Commons of Canada, first being elected in the general election of 2000.
She was a director of Workforce 2000 and the Winnipeg Core Area Initiative and Employment Training Program, and has also been involved in the Law Society of Manitoba and the Winnipeg Jewish Child and Family organization.
In the 2000 federal election, Neville was the Liberal nominee for the Winnipeg South Centre district, previously held by the retiring Lloyd Axworthy.
She was elected with 15,231 votes, against 10,675 for her nearest competitor, Progressive Conservative David Newman.
This contest was notable for a controversy involving Canadian Alliance candidate Betty Granger, who made comments about Asian students that many interpreted as racist.
She was also a vocal opponent of the war with Iraq in early 2003 and was a leading opponent of the proposed American Missile Defense Shield.
She was re-elected in 2004, 2006, and 2008.
In the 2004 election, following substantial boundary reassignments, Neville was re-elected with 18,133 votes against 10,516 for Conservative candidate Raj Joshi.
She has also supported numerous initiatives in the Indigenous community and supported the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2005.
In 2008, Neville was re-elected with 16,438 votes (42.3%) against 14,103 (36.3%) for Conservative Party candidate Trevor Kennerd, 5,490 (14.1%) for New Democratic Party candidate Rachel Heinrichs, and 2,860 (7.4%) for Green Party candidate Vere Scott.
During Paul Martin's time as prime minister, Neville served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
She has also served as the Official Opposition Critic for Indigenous Affairs.
After serving for more than ten years, she lost her seat in the election of 2011.
In 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, through Governor General Mary Simon, appointed Neville to succeed Janice Filmon as lieutenant governor of Manitoba.
She is the first Jewish lieutenant governor of Manitoba and the third who is female.

Before entering political life, Neville worked as an economic development consultant for the province of Manitoba.
In the 2011 election, Neville lost to Conservative Joyce Bateman by 696 votes.
