The Rural Municipality of Mossey River is a rural municipality in the Canadian province of Manitoba located at the south end of Lake Winnipegosis.

History

The RM was incorporated on May 1, 1906.[2] It amalgamated with the Village of Winnipegosis on January 1, 2015 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.[1][3] 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.[4]
