Municipal Commissioner (Manitoba)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of the Municipal Commissioner is a former government department in the Canadian province of Manitoba, established by the government of John Norquay in 1887. The government of Douglas Campbell restructured the department as the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in 1953, after taking on increased responsibilities.

The longest-serving Municipal Commissioner was Duncan Lloyd McLeod, who held the position for almost thirteen years.
