During its existence, Churchill encompassed the northernmost region of the province, a vast and sparsely populated area with no major urban centres. Most of the riding's residents were Indigenous, many of whom also lived in isolated communities.
Elections in this riding were frequently deferred for logistical reasons prior to 1969.
When the riding was abolished, its territory was divided between the ridings of Rupertsland (now Keewatinook), Flin Flon, and Thompson.
