The Department of Families (French: Ministère des Familles; also known as Manitoba Families) is the Manitoba Government agency responsible for family-related programs and services in the province of Manitoba.
The department was created on 3 May 2016 by the newly elected government of Brian Pallister, combining the responsibilities of the former Departments of Family Services and of Housing and Community Development into a single unit.[1][2]
In 2021, Rochelle Squires became the Minister of Families (French: Ministre des Familles), replacing Minister Heather Stefanson.[3] The department also includes the Minister responsible for the Status of Women.
