Unicity
The amalgamation of Winnipeg, Manitoba (also known as Unicity) was the municipal incorporation of the old City of Winnipeg, eleven surrounding municipalities, and the Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg (Metro) into one.
The amalgamated city's boundaries were established by the 1971 City of Winnipeg Act, combining the former Winnipeg and Metro with the rural municipalities of Charleswood, Fort Garry, North Kildonan, and Old Kildonan; the Town of Tuxedo; and the cities of East Kildonan, West Kildonan, St. Vital, Transcona, St. Boniface, and St. James-Assiniboia. The city-metropolitan government officially replaced the existing municipal governments on 1 January 1972.
Though officially joined in 1972, these areas and their respective civic services (e.g. police departments) were not completely merged until years later.
