Starting in the new year, The Citizen is changing its release schedule.

Niverville’s innovative new primary care access centre was the focus of the tenth annual Heritage Centre fundraising gala held on November 5. The Heritage Centre banquet hall staff rose to the occasion, providing champagne and prime rib in a glamorous Phantom of the Opera-themed setting for 250 attendees. The event proceeds, totalling $45,000, will help to fund improvements to the new centre, expected to open in the spring of 2017.

While excitement about Niverville’s second gas station and accompanying coffee options has reached a fever pitch this holiday season, another nearby town is about to have one more choice when it comes time to fill ‘er up.

If you live in or around Niverville, you probably already know that a Tim Hortons and Shell gas bar are coming to the west side of town, at the corner of Highway 311 and Krahn Road in front of the golf course. The establishment is scheduled to open at the end of December, with the grand opening celebration taking place in the new year.
