Niverville’s Fire Department held their annual perogy dinner fundraiser on November 11, serving 500 people and raising $6,400 before expenses.

“The event keeps getter bigger and bigger, and people were lined out the door before we even had served our first perogy,” says Fire Chief Keith Bueckert.

The dinner, held at the Golden Friendship Centre, has become a popular event on the town’s social calendar.

“We now have completed the air fill station project and now have turned our attention towards improving our farm accident rescue equipment,” says Bueckert. “We hope over the next few suppers to acquire funds for heavy lift airbags to lift farm and heavy equipment… also, equipment for grain bin and grain entrapment rescue. Very few departments we know of have this capability in grain rescue, and we see this as a risk assessment for the area.”

The department would like to extend its gratitude to the local businesses who support this cause, including the Niverville Bigway and Chicken Chef, as well as the many volunteers at the Golden Friendship Centre.

“All the firefighters and EMS staff work hard to serve this event and love every minute of it,” Bueckert says. “Thank you to all that come out to support us. We take great pride in serving our community.”
