Local Government District of Pinawa
The Local Government District of Pinawa is a rural municipality in eastern Manitoba, originally established in 1901 as a hydroelectric development site. Redeveloped in the 1960s around science-based research facilities, it has a strong connection to Canada's nuclear and environmental research sectors. Today, this small LGD provides basic municipal services like water and waste management, with an economy shaped by environmental research, tourism, and outdoor recreation near the Whiteshell Provincial Park.
