In September 2015, a team of hometown-proud individuals broke ground with a rather out-there venture: the Niverville Citizen. This new publication, at first available in print with only a minimal online presence, was a direct response to a distinct lack of local news, save for the very occasional reference to Niverville or Ritchot from outlets based in Steinbach and Winnipeg.

Getting old is never easy. For most aging adults, it’s a slow letting-go of the family home, life-long treasures, and one’s most valuable possession: independence.

For anyone connected to a senior citizen living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, a new organization is aiming to offer a breath of relief.

That organization is called There Is Someone Canada (TSC). Through a North America-wide database, registered individuals can be identified and returned to safety when they wander or experience confusion as they go out into the world.

On August 20, a delegation from Carbon Lock Tech made an in-person presentation to Ritchot’s council, asking for partnership in a pilot project which would make use of their relatively new technology.

On August 19, Niverville’s council unanimously approved a subdivision request by Sunset Estates. This proactive move paves the way for a fourth school to put down roots in the community sometime in the future.
