Powerview-Pine Falls

The community was created as a paper mill town in the mid 1920s as Manitoba Pulp and Paper Company. The company was sold to Abitibi Paper Company and became Pine Falls Paper Group in 1995 after employee buyout; finally, it sold to Tembec in 1998.{{cite web|url=http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/pinefallspapermill.shtml|title=Historic Sites of Manitoba: Pine Falls Paper Mill (Town of Powerview-Pine Falls)|first=Gordon|last=Goldsborough|website=www.mhs.mb.ca}}

In 2009, Tembec shut down the mill for good and the site was demolished by 2012, but the mill's footprint next to Slasher Bay is still visible. The mine was served by Canadian National Railway since 1924 and ended after the mill closed.

The current-day town of Powerview-Pine Falls came as result of an amalgamation of the previous town of Powerview ({{coord|50|33|58|N|96|11|53|W}}) with the previously unincorporated area of Pine Falls ({{coord|50|33|59|N|96|13|03|W}}), to its west.

In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Powerview-Pine Falls had a population of 1,239 living in 511 of its 566 total private dwellings, a change of {{percentage|{{#expr:1239-1316}}|1316|1}} from its 2016 population of 1,316. With a land area of {{cvt|4.82|km2}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|1239|4.82|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2021.{{cite web | url=https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810000202&geocode=A000246 | title=Population and dwelling counts: Canada, provinces and territories, and census subdivisions (municipalities), Manitoba | publisher=Statistics Canada | date=February 9, 2022 | accessdate=February 20, 2022}}
