Area code 431 is an overlay of 204 and serves the entire province of Manitoba, Canada, including Winnipeg and rural areas across the province. Introduced in 2012 to accommodate growing demand, 431 supports a wide geographic region with a mix of urban and rural communities. Winnipeg, the provincial capital and largest city, is an economic hub for finance, education, healthcare, and government services. It’s also home to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and a growing arts scene. Manitoba's economy relies on agriculture, hydroelectric energy, and natural resources, and the province boasts a multicultural population with strong Indigenous and immigrant communities. A 431 number supports business expansion or outreach across central Canada and adds flexibility as demand for numbers in 204 increases. Whether you're a consultant in Winnipeg or a rural business operator, 431 gives you a professional and reliable local presence.
