The Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) is an organization of municipal governments in the province of Manitoba, Canada. All incorporated municipalities in Manitoba are members. [1]

Its stated purpose is to "identify and address the needs and concerns of [its] members to achieve strong and effective municipal government." [2]

The AMM is funded solely by its members and by its business arm, the AMM Trading Company. [3]

History

The Union of Manitoba Municipalities was created in 1905. By 1910, the UMM would grow to a little over 100 members. [4]

Structure

All 137 incorporated municipalities in Manitoba are members of the AMM, as represented by their mayors, reeves, and councillors. [1] [2] The AMM comprises seven districts, each with two directors: Parkland, Interlake, Midwestern, Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern. The City of Winnipeg is also represented by one Director. [3]

AMM and representatives from Manitoba serve on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors. [3]

The AMM also offers associate non-voting memberships to First Nations, other communities, school boards, hospital boards, and other associations. [5] The following are some of the current AMM Associate Members, as of 2023:
