On April 1 2000 the Health Sciences Centre was amalgamated with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority WRHA and since has been governed by the WRHA Board of Directors The Health Sciences Centre Act was subsequently repealed by the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and the Health Sciences Centre became an operating division of the WRHA
