Three new Niverville entrepreneurs graduated from the Elevate program this August, a program established by Community Futures Triple R Corporation (CFTRC) to provide assistance, support, and resources to persons wishing to become self-employed. Recipients receiving their certificates of recognition included Deb Brissette of Highland Art Studio, Taylor Hayward of Spaw Dog, and Diane LaTourelle of 1 Health Source Inc.

Niverville’s Community Resource Centre (CRC) is getting closer every day to becoming a reality. On August 1, town council held a public open house at the Niverville Arena to introduce architectural drawings created by Von Ast Construction.

Among key recommendations is more mixed-use development, a French elementary school, bike corridors, and a park-and-ride.

John Funk has served on Niverville’s town council for more than 30 years, longer than anyone else in the town’s history. He was first elected in a 1988 by-election when two seats opened up midterm, seats which were heavily contested when an unprecedented 11 candidates threw their hats into the ring.

In mid-July, the Town of Niverville experienced a brief interruption to its water services.

This August, Growing Minds is getting set to celebrate an auspicious occasion, the tenth anniversary of opening Niverville’s first and only licensed daycare centre. On August 22, Growing Minds’ staff and board members invite the community to come and celebrate with them from 5:00–8:00 p.m. in Hespeler Park.
