A sunny and temperate September 23 provided the perfect day for this year’s mental health awareness run. After ten years, Imagine’s last run has come and gone, and its team marked the special day in a fittingly flamboyant fashion: with colour. Lots of colour.

We grew up in the same community, yet I didn’t really establish a friendship with Tim until the last ten years of his life. I was aware of Tim at a distance and had known of some of the challenges he had experienced in his teenage and early adult years. What I well remember from even way back was that he was pretty straight about things. His life was lived pretty much with two colors: black and white, and the shade of grey was rarely to be found.

Jaren Madden is only 23 years old, but he has already been with the Ritchot Fire Department for six years and is now a volunteer firefighter and instructor for new firefighters. 

For the second year in a row, Niverville’s town council is holding an informational open house. The event will give residents an opportunity to speak to members of council about a range of issues in an informal setting. 

On Sunday, October 1, residents in Ste. Agathe will gather for their annual Fall Supper at the Cultural Community Centre, a community event for the whole family. Dinner is scheduled to start at 4:00 p.m., and will continue to be served until 7:00 p.m.

For ten years, the annual Imagine Run has been a fixture on Niverville’s event calendar, and the same will be true this year as the run once again transforms Hespeler Park on September 23 into a family-friendly party zone. But as the run marks its ten-year anniversary, it also bids farewell.
