The Municipality of Minitonas – Bowsman 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 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: Plus updates are annoying. I can update *mostly* without reboots (they take 25 seconds anyway) and in the background.

gollark: And it'll still randomly waste resources for no reason.

gollark: It runs fine on my okay-ish laptop, as well as a RPi3B.

gollark: Which Linux can run *happily* on.
