The top two teams in the MJHL squared off Tuesday afternoon in Niverville. And when the final buzzer sounded, it was the Nighthawks who emerged victorious—again.

A restoration of native grasslands is just one of the many earth-friendly sights residents of Ritchot may notice in the coming years thanks to a municipal undertaking called the Seeds of Sustainability project.

Niverville’s annual Remembrance Day service took on a slightly different feel this year due to its new location: the fieldhouse of the CRRC. But the hundreds who gathered there enjoyed the same inspiring experience as years past.

The RM of Ritchot’s recreation department is keeping residents active and engaged, both physically and mentally, throughout the fall and winter seasons.

The fall kicked off with a fun run in St. Adolphe but will continue for months of programming, including a puzzle race in Île-des-Chênes, a festive centrepiece workshop in Ste. Agathe led the owner of Fleuriste XO, and the second annual Sip & Ski in Grande Pointe.

Thanks to Operation Red Nose (ORN), everyone can take advantage of a safely guided sleigh this Christmas season. For the sixth year running, the St. Malo chapter of ORN will provide designated driver services to virtually the entire rural southeast. Their territory covers every community between Dominion City and Grande Pointe, Vita and Lowe Farm.

For the past month, a group has been meeting at the CRRC every Monday afternoon to try out a relatively obscure sport called walking soccer. The initiative is the brainchild of Martin Ward, who first heard of the sport from his mother in England. There, it’s known as walking football.

In 2025, the majority of Niverville’s residents have only ever known the town as a town that’s fast-tracked to becoming a city.

The Niverville Nighthawks wrapped up their six-game homestand in emphatic fashion on Saturday night, downing the Northern Manitoba Blizzard 7–1 on Hockey Fights Cancer Night at the CRRC.

At the start of the new legislative session, Manitoba’s provincial government has unveiled its latest speech from the throne, delivered by the Honorable Lieutenant Governor Anita Neville on November 18.

Thanks in part to funding from the provincial government’s Conservation and Climate Fund, the RM of Ritchot will soon be creating an electric vehicle (EV) car share program for their residents.
