List of municipalities in Manitoba
Manitoba is the fifth most populous province in Canada with 1,208,268 residents as of 2011 and is the sixth largest in land area at approximately 552,000 km2 (213,000 sq mi).[1] Manitoba's 137 municipalities[2] cover only 20% of the province's land mass yet are home to 94% of its population.[3][a] These municipalities provide local government services to their residents.
A municipality in Manitoba is "a municipality that is continued or formed under" the Municipal Act, which was enacted in 1996.[4] Municipalities that can be formed under this legislation include urban municipalities (cities, towns and villages) and rural municipalities.[4] The Local Government Districts Act, enacted in 1987, allows the formation of local government districts as another municipality type.[5] Of Manitoba's 137 municipalities, 37 of them are urban municipalities (10 cities, 25 towns and 2 villages), 98 are rural municipalities and 2 are local government districts.[6][7] The Municipal Act and the Local Government Districts Act stipulate governance of these municipalities.[4][5] Additional charters or acts are in place specifically for the cities of Brandon, Flin Flon, Portage la Prairie, Thompson and Winnipeg, the towns of Morris and Winnipeg Beach, and the rural municipalities of Kelsey, St. Andrews and Victoria Beach.[8] The Municipal Act, the Local Government Districts Act, and all these additional acts and charters were enacted at the provincial level by the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, representing Queen Elizabeth II, on the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba.[4][5][8] The Government of Manitoba's Department of Local Government is responsible for providing provincial services to municipalities.[9]
Over half of Manitoba's population resides in the City of Winnipeg, the provincial capital, with a population with 663,617.[3] The City of Brandon is the province's second most populous municipality with 46,061 residents.[3] Manitoba's smallest municipality by population is the Local Government District of Mystery Lake with 10 residents.[3] The largest municipality by land area is the Rural Municipality (RM) of Reynolds at 3,573.79 km2 (1,379.85 sq mi), while the smallest by land area is the Village of Lac du Bonnet at 2.25 km2 (0.87 sq mi).[3]
Manitoba's first municipality was the RM of Springfield (originally Springfield-Sunnyside).[10] It was incorporated on September 27, 1873.[11] Winnipeg was incorporated as a city a few weeks later on November 8, 1873.[12]
Urban municipalities
Manitoba's Municipal Act, enacted in 1996, defines urban municipality as an incorporated "area with at least 1,000 residents and a population density of at least 400 residents per square kilometre."[4] An urban municipality, upon formation, may be named a "city", "town", "village" or "urban municipality", although there is a minimum 7,500 population requirement that limits the naming of cities.[4]
Combined, Manitoba has 37 urban municipalities comprising 10 cities, 25 towns and 2 villages.[6] The 37 urban municipalities have a total population of 846,203, a total land area of 6,394.47 km2 (2,468.92 sq mi)*, and an average population of 22,870. These totals represent 70% of Manitoba's population and 1.2% of its land area.
Of Manitoba's 37 urban municipalities, 6 have populations less than the current minimum population requirement of 1,000 and 20 have less than the current minimum density requirement of 400 residents per square kilometre. All of these were incorporated as urban municipalities prior to the Municipal Act being enacted in 1996.[4][13]
Cities
In Manitoba, a city is a type of urban municipality. The Municipal Act stipulates that an urban municipality can only be named a city if it has a minimum population of 7,500 residents.[4]
Manitoba has 10 cities[6] that had a cumulative population of 791,254 and an average population of 79,125 in the 2011 census.[3] These 10 cities include Flin Flon, of which a small portion is located within the neighbouring province of Saskatchewan. The province's largest and smallest cities are Winnipeg and the Manitoba portion of Flin Flon with populations of 663,617 and 5,363 respectively.[3] Manitoba's newest city is Morden, which changed from a town to a city on August 24, 2012.[14]
Towns
In Manitoba, an urban municipality may be named a town upon formation. Other than the requirements to incorporate as an urban municipality (1,000 residents and 400 people/km2), the Municipal Act has no minimum population threshold to limit the naming of them as towns. A town can alternately be named a village or urban municipality under the Municipal Act or a city if it has a minimum population of 7,500.[4]
Manitoba has 25 towns[6] that had a cumulative population of 53,157 and an average population of 2,126 in the 2011 census.[3] The province's largest and smallest towns are The Pas and Grand Rapids with populations of 5,513 and 279 respectively.[3][15]
Villages
In Manitoba, an urban municipality may be named a village upon formation. Other than the minimum requirements to incorporate as an urban municipality (1,000 residents and 400 people/km2), the Municipal Act has no minimum population threshold to limit the naming of them as villages. A village can alternately be named a town or urban municipality under the Municipal Act or a city if it has a minimum population of 7,500.[4]
Manitoba has 2 villages[6] that had a cumulative population of 1,795 and an average population of 898 in the 2011 census.[3] The province's largest and smallest villages are St-Pierre-Jolys and Dunnottar with populations of 1,099 and 696 respectively.[3]

Rural municipalities
Manitoba's Municipal Act, enacted in 1987, defines rural municipality (RM) as an incorporated "area with at least 1,000 residents and a population density of less than 400 residents per square kilometre."[4] Manitoba has 98 rural municipalities[20] that had a cumulative population of 290,142 and an average population of 2961 in the 2011 census.[3] These totals represent 24% of Manitoba's population and 18.8% of its land area. The province's largest and smallest rural municipalities are the RM of Springfield and the Victoria Beach with populations of 14,069 and 374 respectively.[3]
Of Manitoba's 98 rural municipalities, 5 have populations less than the current minimum population requirement of 1,000. All of these were incorporated as rural municipalities prior to the Municipal Act being enacted in 1996.[4][13] In the case of the RM of Shellmouth-Boulton, it was formed through the amalgamation of the former RMs of Shellmouth and Boulton in 1999.[21]

Local government districts
Manitoba's Local Government Districts Act, enacted in 1987, defines a local government district (LGD) as "an area or areas that is or are wholly or partly in unorganized territory or in a disorganized municipality" with inhabitants. LGDs are incorporated by Manitoba's Lieutenant Governor in Council through passage of a regulation.[5]
Manitoba has two LGDs:[6] Mystery Lake and Pinawa.[7] For municipal statistical purposes, Mystery Lake is considered a rural municipality while Pinawa is considered an urban municipality.[7]
