Division No. 22, also informally known as Thompson-North Central, is a census division within the Province of Manitoba, Canada. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect the organization of local government in Manitoba. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own.
The division had a population of 38,421 in the Canada 2006 Census. The economic base of the area is mining, forestry, manufacturing, commercial fishing, trapping and tourism.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Division No. 22 had a population of 42,226 living in 10,871 of its 12,478 total private dwellings, a change of 0.1% from its 2016 population of 42,165. With a land area of 89,802.82 km2 (34,673.06 sq mi), it had a population density of 0.5/km2 (1.2/sq mi) in 2021.[1]
