Division No. 5, Manitoba

Census division in Manitoba, Canada

Division No. 5 (Southwestern area) is a census division located within the Westman Region in the south west area of the province of Manitoba, Canada. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect the organization of local government in Manitoba. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own.

The major industry of Westman is agriculture. However, there is also some oil production in the southwest area of the region.
