Who We Are

The Capital Planning Region is a statutory corporation established by the Province of Manitoba. It operates as the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region and includes member municipalities, including the City of Winnipeg. Under provincial legislation, the Capital Planning Region is responsible for adopting a regional plan by January 1, 2027.

As part of this work, the region focuses on matters that cross municipal boundaries and benefit from a coordinated approach. Cross-boundary projects support good growth, good stewardship, and good governance. The Winnipeg Metropolitan Region creates opportunities for municipalities to work together on shared priorities while maintaining their local decision-making.

Manitoba’s Economic Centre

Originally formed in 1998, the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region has supported collaboration among municipalities in Manitoba’s capital region for more than two decades. The region is home to two thirds of Manitoba’s population and is a major driver of the province’s economic activity. This reinforces the need for coordinated planning to support long term growth and stability for the region.

The Winnipeg Metropolitan Region provides a forum for municipalities to work together on shared challenges and opportunities related to infrastructure, economic development, and environmental resilience. These issues cross municipal boundaries and benefit from a coordinated approach.
