The third annual Trunk or Treat, in support of the Scorpions Elite Cheer, is happening on Saturday, October 27 in Steinbach. 

This past July, Ritchot’s council added a new member to its ranks when St. Adolphe resident Alexie Lepage began her one-year term as the municipality’s first youth councillor.

The people of St. Adolphe have a reputation for rallying around their community, so when Ritchot Senior Services put a call out for donations around the holidays, it was no surprise that the community responded. Now, after the success of their first two years, they’re at it again. 

A small fire broke out on the roof of a new strip mall under construction in Niverville on Drovers Run, fronting the golf course. One of the owners of the property, Ray Dowse, confirms that the fire occurred but also said it was caught early by surveillance cameras. The damage, he says, is minimal.

Like it or not, recreational cannabis use became legal throughout Canada on October 17. Canada is now one of only two countries around the globe to have fully legalized consumption and sales of recreational cannabis nationwide. Uruguay introduced full legalization in 2013.

Pre-Christmas markets will abound in the region over the next four weeks. Local crafters, artisans, and small business owners will be setting up shop in venues around Niverville and Ritchot to bring Christmas shopping a little closer to home. If you’re interested in a cozy, stress-free shopping experience this year, be sure to check them out. It also helps support local entrepreneurs, making gift-giving that much more meaningful for everyone.
