The Municipality of Ethelbert is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

History

The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Ethelbert and the Town of Ethelbert.[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.[2] 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.[3]

gollark: It's weird how some of them said stuff like "it'll go away after the election" as if the entire world revolves around US politics or something.

gollark: > but its fascinating to see the stupidityI was looking at some reddit subreddit about allegedly "free-thinkers resisting the new normal" and *actually* seemingly about people complaining about masks, having to isolate after positive tests, talking about herd immunity, and saying "plandemic" a bit for similar reasons; morbid curiosity or something I guess.

gollark: Electric models of what?
