In 1955, the Province of Manitoba created the Greater Winnipeg Investigating Commission to study and report on inter-municipal issues in the Greater Winnipeg Area.

After four years of research and consultation, the Commission recommended that a strong central government be formed, with responsibility for regional streets, water, bridges, parks and the supply of power. The Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg (Metro) was incorporated in 1960.
