On November 25, the provincial government announced new funding that will benefit Niverville, the RM of Ritchot, and at least four other municipalities in the southeast.

For weeks, the excitement of Niverville’s new McDonald’s was enough to keep locals abuzz with positivity. It didn’t take long, though, for the shine to wear off and the mood to change, at least for some. In particular, customers have taken note of issues with the flow of traffic to and from the restaurant.

When it comes to forward-thinking school policy, the division scolaire Franco-Manitobaine (DSFM) continues to lead the way. In November, the province’s French school division released a four-page directive for its educators, developed as a response to students’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as internet plagiarism.

Every year, families around the region rely on foodbanks to make their Christmas a little brighter. This year is no exception.

Dan Macloskie, a board member for the Niverville-based Helping Hands, says the organization will be accepting applications for hampers until November 30.

Within the next two years, Île-des-Chênes will have a unique housing development that caters specifically to the needs and desires of seniors.

November 18 was a busy night for Niverville’s council as they addressed a series of applications for new businesses and one variation request.
