The planning committee for the Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair will have been uttering a huge sigh of relief on Sunday, June 12, as their Friday and Saturday event this year went without a weather hitch.

Early June saw some anxious days for students, parents, and staff of École/Collège régional Gabrielle-Roy in Île-des-Chênes. It began on June 3 when a threatening note was found by a student in the early years student washroom and turned in to school staff.

At a June 7 public meeting, the RM of Ritchot’s council was presented with the results of a formal review undertaken to assess council salaries and determine where the bar should be set for the next four-year term.

Pending approval by the RM of Ritchot, residents of Île-des-Chênes may soon see the rise of a new residential development to the south of the community.

Gardeners of Ritchot are participating with enthusiasm in a seed-sharing program that sprouted for the first time in Ritchot this spring.

The initial results of a Ritchot water supply study are in and the message is clear: to prepare for the municipality’s future, action needs to be taken right now.
