The Municipality of North-Norfolk is no exception to the many regions that saw an increase in population according to the census taken in 2016.

"We're extremely pleased when we read the numbers indicating we'd gone up," says Mayor Neil Christoffersen. "Comparing it to not just the province but all the municipalities in our area, I think we did quite well at the percentage that we did go up."

He notes the report also broke down municipalities into communities, and saw how Austin and MacGregor both increased. Christoffersen adds it's great to see it's a steady growth throughout the area.
