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:
