Eight months after a bridge was destroyed by fire along Highway 311 near New Bothwell, Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI) says that construction is about to get underway.

A group of five Niverville volunteers have banded together under a common purpose: to help reduce transportational barriers for the community’s seniors and those who are mobility-impaired.

As we barrel towards the end of another year, The Citizen is presenting a series of articles looking back at the year that was, including its ups and down. These are the big stories that have impacted our corner of southeastern Manitoba.

In this series, The Citizen profiles locals who strive to make our little corner of Manitoba a better place. Each month, we feature a person, family, or business that helps brighten the world in some way. If you have someone in mind for a future month, please nominate them: jlavin@nivervillecitizen.com.
