Nestled in the heart of South Eastern Manitoba, the Rural Municipality of De Salaberry is blessed by the most fertile agricultural regions of Manitoba’s Red River Valley to the west, the natural beauty of oak and poplar woodlands on the eastern escarpment and the scenic Rat River that slowly meanders northwards. It is with these qualities that the municipality, founded by the fur trade and farming pioneers in the mid-1800s has embraced not only agriculture but also tourism and recreation as their primary resources.
