On October 26, voters across Manitoba will get the opportunity to cast votes for their mayors, councillors, and school trustees. With several candidates vying for a limited number of spots on council, Niverville residents will have a number of people to consider.

That’s why the Niverville Chamber of Commerce and the Niverville Citizen have teamed up to host a candidates forum—and giver voters all the information they need to make an informed decision.

The event will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the CRRC fieldhouse on Wednesday, October 5.

Mayor Myron Dyck has already secured another four-year term by acclamation, since nobody chose to run against him, but he will open the question period with a brief address.

There are seven candidates for the remaining four councillor seats, and all will face questions from a pair of moderators representing the Chamber and the Citizen.

The four incumbents are Kevin Stott, Chris Wiebe, Nathan Dueck, and John Funk. The three challengers are Jason Alderson, Meghan Beasant, and Bill Fast.

The formal portion of the evening will run from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Candidates may also be available afterward for an informal meet-and-greet. The evening will be livestreamed for those who can’t attend the forum in person.
