Grandview Municipality is a rural municipality (RM) in the Parkland Region of Manitoba, Canada. It is located in a valley between Duck Mountain Provincial Forest & Park and Riding Mountain National Park, which both lie partially within the RM's territory.[3]

The municipality includes the communities of Grandview (an unincorporated urban community) and Meharry. The Grandview station is located within the RM, through which a Canadian National Railway track serviced by VIA Rail runs through.[4][5]

History

Further information: Rural Municipality of Grandview and Grandview, Manitoba

The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the RM of Grandview and the Town of Grandview.[1] It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required that municipalities with a population less than 1,000 amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015.[6] The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality.[7]

Demographics

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Grandview had a population of 1,419 living in 657 of its 750 total private dwellings, a change of -4.3% from its 2016 population of 1,482. With a land area of 1,147.99 km2 (443.24 sq mi), it had a population density of 1.2/km2 (3.2/sq mi) in 2021.[8]
