History
The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Minitonas, the Town of Minitonas and the Village of Bowsman.[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 was basically a jokey idea because lemmmy wanted it. But it would be simple to implement on top of my existing well-tested automatic lasing code.
gollark: You could really have used my laser lawnmower technology.
gollark: But now I have durability-free thorns/protection/aqua affinity/respiration armor so that's nice.
gollark: The Bibliocraft devs apparently didn't think of this.
