Minister of Municipal Affairs (Manitoba)

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs is a former government department in Manitoba. It was created on April 20, 1953, when the previous office of Municipal Commissioner was restructured and the provincial government assumed new responsibilities for municipal supervision. The department was replaced by the Department of Rural Development by Gary Filmon's government in 1989.

The longest-serving Minister of Municipal Affairs in Manitoba was Howard Pawley, who served from 1969 to 1976 and played a significant role in the amalgamation of Winnipeg. Pawley later served as Premier of Manitoba from 1981 to 1988.
