Manitoba Municipal Amalgamations, 2015
The 2015 municipal amalgamations in Manitoba was the result of new legislation (''Municipal Amalgamations Act'') in the province that required a minimum population threshold of 1,000 people in order to incorporate a municipality. To meet this new threshold, Manitoba's smaller municipalities—those with a population of less than 1,000— merged with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015. Background In 1997, the Government of Manitoba established a minimum population threshold of 1,000 in order to incorporate a municipality. As of the 2011 census, 93 of the 197 municipalities in Manitoba had populations less than 1,000.

Municipality Of Oakland – Wawanesa
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate. The term ''municipality'' may also mean the governing body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The English word is derived from French , which in turn derives from the Latin , based on the word for social contract (), referring originally to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy). A municipality can be any political jurisdiction, from a sovereign state such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village such as West Hampton Dunes, New York. The territory over which a m ...

Rural Municipality Of Victoria
In general, a rural area or a countryside is a geographic area that is located outside towns and cities. Typical rural areas have a low population density and small settlements. Agricultural areas and areas with forestry are typically described as rural, as well as other areas lacking substantial development. Different countries have varying definitions of ''rural'' for statistical and administrative purposes. Rural areas have unique economic and social dynamics due to their relationship with land-based industry such as agriculture, forestry, and resource extraction. Rural economics can be subject to boom and bust cycles and vulnerable to extreme weather or natural disasters, such as droughts. These dynamics alongside larger economic forces encouraging urbanization have led to significant demographic declines, called rural flight, where economic incentives encourage younger populations to go to cities for education and access to jobs, leaving older, less educated and less w ...
