List of designated places in Manitoba

A designated place is a type of geographic unit used by Statistics Canada to disseminate census data.^[1] It is usually "a small community that does not meet the criteria used to define incorporated municipalities or Statistics Canada population centres (areas with a population of at least 1,000 and no fewer than 400 persons per square kilometre)."^[2] Provincial and territorial authorities collaborate with Statistics Canada in the creation of designated places so that data can be published for sub-areas within municipalities.^[2] Starting in 2016, Statistics Canada allowed the overlapping of designated places with population centres.^[2]
