Winnipeg held the first Council meeting of the new “Unified City of Winnipeg,” often called “Unicity.” This meeting marked the practical start of a major municipal reform. This merged Winnipeg with surrounding municipalities into one city government. The change aimed to streamline decision-making and coordinate services across the wider urban area. It was a major shift in local governance for Manitoba’s largest city. The inaugural council meeting is widely treated as a key milestone in the Unicity transition.
