Norma McCormick

Norma McCormick (born July 5, 1944, Dauphin, Manitoba) is a Canadian politician. She was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1993 to 1995, and a member of the Liberal Party of Manitoba.

Before entering public life, McCormick was a health-care business owner. She is the founder,[1] and from 1987 to 1993, the president of Corporate Health Works, Inc.

She first ran for the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1977, finishing third in the central-Winnipeg riding of Wolseley. She did not run for office again until 1993, when she was elected for the nearby riding of Osborne, replacing Reg Alcock who had resigned to run for federal office. McCormick defeated her nearest opponent, New Democrat Irene Haigh, by over 500 votes.

Her time in the legislature was brief. In the 1995 provincial election, she lost NDP candidate Diane McGifford by almost 1,000 votes. She has not sought a return to office since that time.

After her defeat, McCormick returned to the leadership of Corporate Health Works, Inc.. She has also taught courses in occupational safety at the University of Manitoba.
