It was incorporated on January 1, 2015, via the amalgamation of the RM of South Norfolk and the Town of Treherne. ^[1] It was formed as a requirement of The Municipal Amalgamations Act, which required that municipalities with a population less than 1,000 amalgamate with one or more neighbouring municipalities by 2015. ^[2] The Government of Manitoba initiated these amalgamations in order for municipalities to meet the 1997 minimum population requirement of 1,000 to incorporate a municipality. ^[3]
