The Rural Municipality of Lakeshore is a rural municipality (RM) in the Parkland Region of Manitoba, Canada.
Lakeshore is named for the proximity of the shoreline of Dauphin Lake, which splits the municipality into north and south.[2] The RM is anchored on its south end by the Rainbow Beach Provincial Park on Dauphin Lake, and on its north end by Manipogo Provincial Park on Lake Manitoba.[3]
See also: Rural Municipality of Lawrence and Rural Municipality of Ochre River. The RM was incorporated on January 1, 2015 via the amalgamation of the RMs of Ochre River and Lawrence.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6]
