This month, the RM of Ritchot announced two new initiatives designed to promote more affordable housing options.

It may be small, and it may be humble, but it was the centre of attention on Monday, October 27, as town staff and residents gathered to celebrate Niverville’s first public library, a take-one, leave-one facility that will open its doors on November 1.

In 2015, the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) developed a unique initiative which brings farmer, sponsor, and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) together into a unique collaborative called Grow Hope.

A new two-storey commercial space is taking shape in the heart of Niverville. The building at 106 Main Street will offer a range of office suites in a project that could help to further dispel any lingering perception that Niverville is a bedroom community.

The annual Firefighters Perogy Dinner fundraiser is returning to the Niverville Friendship Centre on November 11. Dinner service begins at 4:30 p.m. and ends at 7:00 p.m., or whenever food runs out, says fire chief Keith Bueckert.

On Tuesday, October 21, friends and residents of the Niverville Heritage Centre filled the atrium in support of this year’s fundraising effort.
