Last month, in an article entitled “Ste. Agathe Development Plan Meets Public Criticism,” we reported on a dispute involving condo residents in Ste. Agathe, a new developer working on a development plan for an adjacent parcel of land, and the RM council. In that article, local residents made several claims about the original developer of the Riel Place Condominium, Martin Ritchot.

Last month, Provencher MP Ted Falk participated in a town hall meeting

In May, Niverville’s town council appointed five local residents to serve on the community’s new Health Task Force and also hired a sixth person as a facilitator/consultant.

It’s just past the kids’ bedtime at Lisa and Todd Wiebe’s house in Niverville.

The RM of Ritchot has some big topics on their agenda and from late October to early November they took these topics on the road, stopping at five locations within the municipality. Residents were encouraged to come out and provide essential feedback to council as they move toward some timely decisions in 2018.

This article has been updated on October 20, 2017 to include important information provided by Martin Ritchot. See the new section below, titled “Mr. Ritchot Responds to Allegations.”
