Fort Rouge is a district of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in Canada. Located in the south-central part of the city, it is bounded on the north by the Assiniboine River, on the east and south by the Red River, and on the west by Stafford Street and Pembina Highway.
It composes part of the city ward of Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry,[1] as well as belonging to the provincial electoral district of Fort Rouge,[2] and the federal electoral district of Winnipeg South Centre. Fort Rouge is not a discrete census district, so its population cannot be easily obtained through census records; the 2006 combined population of Fort Rouge and the neighbouring district of River Heights was 56,505.[3]
Notable people from Fort Rouge include Kimberly Prost, judge of the International Criminal Court.[4]
