Reg Wyatt

Reg Wyatt is a businessman and former politician in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is an insurance salesman, and was a member of Winnipeg City Council from 1983 to 1986. His son Russ Wyatt is a current member of city council, having represented the Transcona ward since 2002.

Wyatt created the company Wyatt Premier Insurance in 1970.[1] He served as president of the Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba in 1993-94. During this period, he argued against allowing banks to enter the insurance business on the grounds that it would create a disadvantage for customers.[2]

He was elected to the Winnipeg City Council in the 1983 municipal election, defeating former councillor Joe Masi in the open seat of Transcona. He did not seek re-election in 1986.
