Municipality of North Norfolk
Manitoba Province, Canada
Administration: Mayor and 4 Councillors
Population: 3024
 The Rural Municipality of North Norfolk is located in central Manitoba. North Norfolk is easily accessible by the Trans Canada Highway, which runs right through the municipality. Provincial Trunk Highway 34 and Provincial Roads 242, 350 and 352 also service the municipality. The Village of Macgregor, located just off the Trans Canada Highway, is the largest urban centre in North Norfolk (population 900). Austin, Sydney, Bagot and Rossendale are other large communities in North Norfolk.
The municipality is situated in the rich agricultural fields of Manitoba's Central Plains Region.
Agriculture is, understandably, a prominent part of North Norfolk's economy. Yet, diversification in North Norfolk's economy is beginning to take place.
With its proximity to the Trans Canada Highway, and being approximately halfway between the major markets in Winnipeg and Brandon, North Norfolk definitely has great location for the expansion or location of new businesses.
Canada's largest collection of operating vintage farm machinery from 1900 and beyond is located near Austin. The collection includes over 500 implements as well as a pioneer village with over 20 buildings.
