The province of Manitoba enacted the Municipal Amalgamations Act on January 1, 2015. The act required municipalities with a population of less than 1,000 to amalgamate with one or more neighboring municipalities by 2015. Two municipalities were exempt from this the Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach and the Village of Dunator, both of which are resort municipalities. These amalgamations reduced to number of municipalities in the province from 197 to 137. The amalgamation directly affected 65 rural municipalities, 25 towns, and 17 villages which were merged into 47 municipalities.
