Welcome to the serene and picturesque neighbourhood of St. Norbert. This area is near and dear to our hearts as Scott has coached hockey & baseball in St Norbert for the last half dozen years. It’s a neighbourhood we know well, and really love!
While St. Norbert is located outside of the south perimeter, it is still a part of The City of Winnipeg, boasting the best of small-town living within the city limits. Another special feature is the two rivers (La Salle & Red) that flow through the area.
