Three members of Niverville’s town council are eager to throw their hats in the ring for re-election. Earlier this month, councillors Chris Wiebe, Nathan Dueck, and Kevin Stott all announced their intention to run for second terms. The province-wide municipal election will take place October 24.

The end of June marked a time of auspicious celebrations for students in Niverville and Ritchot.

It’s another hot day in Île-des-Chênes, where Lise and Bruce Bale balance family life with customers on the phone and checking in at the office. The couple purchased Arrowhead RV Park from Lise’s parents in 2015, the same year their youngest of three children was born. At the time, they were both working full-time, Bruce as an electrician and Lise as an HR director, and the chance to own and operate an RV park seemed like an opportunity to slow things down and spend more time at home with the kids.
