This is a list of the largest communities in Manitoba, according to the 2011 Census of Canada (and Statistics Canada), with populations of 1,000 persons or over. This list excludes all rural municipalities in Manitoba, since they are not considered "urban communities," but includes cities, towns, villages, designated places and local urban districts, and Indian reserves. Note, many of these communities have other bordering communities such as Indian Reserves and Local Urban Districts by the same name, that may be considered part of some of the communities listed, but are not included on the list; for example; as of 2011, Mitchell (population centre) had a population of 1,136; however, the LUD of Mitchell (pop. 520) is a separate community (according to Stats Canada) from the PC of Mitchell, and is not included on the list, but may be considered to be part of Mitchell's overall population by some people, although it is not official. This same concept goes for most Indian Reserves with multiple parts or divisions of the same community, and other LUD's such as Lorette, Blumenort and Grunthal, to avoid confusion.
Population centres refers to an area with a population of at least 1,000 and a density of 400 or more people per square kilometre.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, communities and/or population:
“Thirtythe promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (18961940)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
