Prairie View Municipality is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba

History[edit]

It was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RMs of Birtle and Miniota and the Town of Birtle.^[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.^[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] The reeve of the RM is Linda Clark.
