Municipality of Oakland-Wawanesa
The Municipality of Oakland – Wawanesa is a future rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba that will form on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Oakland and the Village of Wawanesa.[1] It is being formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which requires 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]
