As of 2021 [update] , the City of Winnipeg is subdivided into 15 electoral wards, each represented by an individual member of City Council. The 15 city wards are further subdivided into 230 neighbourhoods. [1] [2]
Under the City of Winnipeg Charter, the boundaries and the name of each ward of Winnipeg are to be established at least every 10 years by a report prepared by the Winnipeg Wards Boundaries Commission (WWBC). In December 2017, the WWBC published its final report on new ward boundaries for the city, to be made effective September 2018. The Commission made its recommendations in consideration of the changes in distribution of the city's population as per the 2016 census. The most significant changes were the elimination of the St. Charles ward and the creation of a new Waverley West ward. [3] [4]
The 15 wards are categorized into one of five community committees, which deal with local community issues. This includes: [5]
The City of Winnipeg has been subdivided into two levels of areas, or relative segments, developed by the Community Data Program of the national Canadian Community Economic Development Network, in partnership with the federal and provincial governments and local community organizations. [9]
Community areas are the broader, less detailed level of areas, which allow for geographical analysis and comparisons, i.e. census data, as used by Statistics Canada. [10] [9] As of the 2016 census, Winnipeg is composed of 12 community areas. [11] There is also a separate set of 72 community centre areas, defining the catchment areas of community centres. [10]
Community areas are composed of the second level of areas, neighbourhood clusters (formerly "Neighbourhood Resource Networks" or NRN), which are used for planning and policy purposes by Manitoba Health and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA). [9] As of the 2016 census, there are 23 neighbourhood clusters, composing the Winnipeg census division. [12]
The neighbourhood clusters are in turn subdivided into the same 230 neighbourhoods that make up the city wards of Winnipeg. [11] [13] Many of these clusters, community areas, and neighbourhoods share names and locations with the wards; however, ward boundaries and neighbourhood boundaries do not always perfectly align with one another (For example, the St. James-Assiniboia community area extends further west but lesser east than the St. James ward).

Today's Winnipeg is the product of the City of Winnipeg Act of 1972, which incorporated a number of cities, towns, and rural municipalities into a single larger city (previously administered under the Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg, since 1960) into an amalgamated unicity. Residents still refer to these historical communities:

Winnipeg's North End is a large urban area located to the north and northwest of Downtown Winnipeg. It is bordered by the Red River on the east, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) mainline on the south, the City of Winnipeg boundary on the west and Jefferson Avenue, Keewatin Street, Carruthers Avenue, McGregor Street and the lane between McAdam and Smithfield Avenues on the north. It is the northern section of the City of Winnipeg as it existed prior to the 1972 municipal amalgamation. Winnipeg's northern suburbs such as West Kildonan and Old Kildonan are not considered part of the North End. The CPR mainline and its Winnipeg yards, which are one of the largest railway yards in the world, act as a physical barrier between the North End and the rest of Winnipeg to the south. This has resulted in the North End remaining a very distinct and unique part of Winnipeg.
