Rural Municipality of Alexander

The Rural Municipality of Alexander (French: Municipalité rurale d'Alexander) (2016 Population 3,333)[1] is a rural municipality in the Eastern region of Manitoba, Canada. The office is located in St. Georges, Manitoba. The town of Powerview-Pine Falls lies adjacent to the municipality, as does the Sagkeeng First Nation Indian reserve. The Chevrefils District and Broadlands are located in the R.M.

The R.M. contains all of Manitoba's Belair Provincial Forest in its westernmost part, plus the northern half of Brightstone Sand Hills Provincial Forest in its central part.

The R.M. was first incorporated as a Local Government District in 1945 and received its present status on 1 January 1997.

The RM had been under a boil water advisory since April 18, 2006, until a $5 million water treatment plant had been installed in September 2019.[2]
