For communities like Niverville, which benefit from the lifesaving efforts of a local Medical First Responders (MFR) chapter, changes may be underway that, for some, pose a real concern for the future of the program.

In a recent visit to Niverville, local MLA Ron Schuler took a few moments to voice gratitude for everyday community heroes and announce several provincial grants that have been awarded to some of those heroes.

On Tuesday, May 3, Niverville’s town council gave their unanimous approval to an application for a combined business and living quarters concept that will be new to the business park: the caretaker’s suite.

As of Monday, May 2, a total of 130 evacuation notices had been issued to residents by the RM of Ritchot, and that number climbs daily as the river continues its steady rise. With the crest of the Red River expected to be about a week away, the municipality’s flood-fighting efforts have kicked into high gear.

Residents of Grande Pointe in the RM of Ritchot celebrated the grand opening of their new community centre on Sunday, April 24.

At the beginning of 2021, the provincial government introduced a controversial education overhaul in the form of Bill 64. It would have removed English-speaking school boards in favour of one central authority.
