Although people everywhere are becoming weary of new and updated provincial health orders every week, once again the province has announced tightened restrictions. Premier Brian Pallister and Dr. Brent Roussin, the chief provincial health officer, appeared at a press conference Thursday afternoon to announce the latest measures.

The pandemic restrictions of the last few weeks has changed the way our local municipalities are doing business. With the Town of Niverville and the RM of Ritchot are both operating with some new code red protocols, it’s important to understand how we can still engage with them.

On November 9, Open Health Niverville announced that Dr. Mairi Burnett will resume her medical practice at the clinic at the end of November after a medical leave of absence.

So many local makers and sellers have lost business this year, with community craft sales and markers needing to be called off due to the pandemic. To combat this trend and keep our small-town crafters and businesspeople above water, a group of community advocates in Landmark are doing something to help.

On the morning of Tuesday, November 10, many locals noticed emergency vehicles attending to a location in the area around Leclaire Road, near its intersection with Highway 200, in the RM of Ritchot.

A new commercial strip mall is about to begin construction in Niverville. The property at 41 Main Street, which is currently home to BSI Insurance, will be getting a major facelift as well as a significant expansion.
