Norfolk County is exploring options to improve operational flexibility and service delivery for critical municipal functions, such as water, wastewater, and waste management. 


Where we’re at

Establishing a Municipal Service Corporation (MSC) would provide a governance and operational structure that allows for more responsive decision-making, streamlined management, and efficiency gains across these services. However, there is a need for clarity on provincial expectations, approval pathways, and any regulatory requirements associated with creating an MSC.

Our ask

Norfolk County is seeking provincial guidance and support to:

  • Clarify Expectations and Approval Pathways
    Provide clear direction on provincial requirements, approvals, and oversight related to the creation of an MSC.
  • Enable Establishment of a Municipal Service Corporation
    Support Norfolk County in creating an MSC that enhances operational flexibility, improves service management, and generates efficiency gains in areas such as water, wastewater, and waste management.
  • Collaborate on Best Practices
    Offer advice or frameworks based on other municipalities’ experiences to ensure a smooth and compliant implementation of the MSC model. 

Norfolk is ready.

We can grow Ontario, together.
