Rural Municipality of Strathcona
The Rural Municipality of Strathcona is a former rural municipality (RM) in the Canadian province of Manitoba. It was originally incorporated as a rural municipality in April 1906.[1] It ceased to exist on January 1, 2015, as a result of its provincially mandated amalgamation with the RM of Riverside to form the Rural Municipality of Prairie Lakes.[2]
The former RM is located northeast of Killarney and was named for The 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal. In 2011 the RM had a population of 643 which had declined from 727 in 2006.[3]
