From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
A regional municipality is a type of Canadian municipal government which works much like a county; however, the size of government, and its responsibilities, are much broader.
Regional municipalities provide many core services to the cities, towns, townships and villages within their borders; for example, most provide police protection, and many handle waste management and public transit. Similar to counties, they also provide infrastructure for (at least some) roads, sewers, and bridges; and also handle judicial and social services.
