==Civil Registration==
A government civil registration system registers births, marriages, and deaths.  Also included may be name changes, divorces, and adoptions.  Certificates are issued for each event.   The Vital Statistics Agency, a Special Operating Agency under The Special Operating Agencies Financing Authority Act, performs this function. <br>

In addition to Manitoba registrations, civil divorces were granted by private acts of the Parliament of Canada from 1867 to 1919.
