The Municipality of Ste. Rose (French: Municipalité de Sainte-Rose) is a rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

History

Further information: Rural Municipality of Ste. Rose and Sainte Rose du Lac

The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RM of Ste. Rose and the Town of Sainte Rose du Lac.[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]
