Grandview Municipality is a rural municipality (RM) in the Parkland Region of Manitoba, Canada. It is located in a valley between Duck Mountain Provincial Forest & Park and Riding Mountain National Park, which both lie partially within the RM's territory.[2]
The municipality includes the communities of Grandview (an unincorporated urban community) and Meharry. The Grandview station is located within the RM, through which a Canadian National Railway track serviced by VIA Rail runs through.[3] [4]
The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the RM of Grandview and the Town of Grandview.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]
Along with the elected Mayor, the governing body of the Grandview Municipality also consists of 6 elected municipal councilors, from both rural and urban areas.
