Bruxelles is a small community located in the Municipality of Lorne, Manitoba, Canada. It was founded in 1892 by Belgian immigrants. The name was chosen by Archbishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Boniface partially because of the origin of the local settlers and also because it was the home city of the communities first Parish priest, Father G. Willems. Also, the French spelling was chosen (rather than the Dutch name Brussel or the English name Brussels) most likely because the Archbishop and the archdiocese were Francophone. Its postal code is R0G 0G0.

| - Bruxelles is a small community located in the Municipality of Lorne, Manitoba, Canada. It was founded in 1892 by Belgian immigrants. The name was chosen by Archbishop Alexandre-Antonin Taché of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Boniface partially because of the origin of the local settlers and also because it was the home city of the communities first Parish priest, Father G. Willems. Also, the French spelling was chosen (rather than the Dutch name Brussel or the English name Brussels) most likely because the Archbishop and the archdiocese were Francophone. The original town site lay some 3 km (two miles) north of its current location. It was moved because the original town site was considered a poor location. The community was the setting for the 2003 National Film Board of Canada animated short Louise, which explored a day in the life of filmmaker Anita Lebeau's 96-year-old Belgian Canadian grandmother, Louise Marginet, a Bruxelles resident. Its postal code is R0G 0G0. (en)
- Bruxelles est une petite commune située dans la province du Manitoba au Canada. Bruxelles fait partie de la municipalité rurale de Lorne. Le Manitoba accueillit une vague d'émigrants belges à la fin du XIXe siècle. La majorité d'entre eux s'établirent dans les villages de Bruxelles et de Saint-Alphonse. Le village de Bruxelles fut fondé en 1892, sous le nom de "Bruxelles-des-monts" avec l'arrivée d'émigrants belges de la région de Bruxelles et d'Halanzy en Belgique accompagnés par des émigrants du Québec. Les Bruxellois s'établirent d'abord à quelques kilomètres plus au Nord en 1888, mais le lieu n'était pas propice à un développement de la colonisation. Rapidement, ils s'installèrent plus au Sud où ils fondèrent le village de Bruxelles-des-monts, devenu l'actuel Bruxelles. L'église de Bruxelles est classée au patrimoine et l'école Sainte-Marie, qui regroupe les trois établissements scolaires de Sainte-Marie, Saint-Urbain et Saint-Gustave, enseigne toujours le français aux enfants du village. En 2003, la cinéaste Anita Lebeau réalisa avec le soutien de l'Office national du film du Canada, un court-métrage (film d'animation) intitulé sur la vie quotidienne d'une émigrante belge, Louise Marginet, 96 ans, vivant dans ce village de Bruxelles.
