The Niverville Elementary School will be holding their annual Christmas program on December 16–17 at the school’s gymnasium, with 2 shows each day: a matinee at 1:30 p.m. and an evening performance at 7:00 p.m. The show will feature students from Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2. Only half of each grade will be represented each respective day.

In Grade 1, Evan Braun won third place in a CBC writing contest, and the rest, as they say, is history. The story was called “The Magic Christmas Tree.” It was about going to a tree farm in Beausejour with his father to pick out a tree, which then happened to have magic powers.

Arcade Studios is a state-of-the-art digital music production facility located beside Slice of Life in Niverville, and it’s accredited by Manitoba Film and Sound. Over the past 2 years, they’ve recorded an LP for the rock band Whiskey Talks and produced 13 singles. And that all happened while the facility was being built! Ambitious doesn’t seem to do them justice.

The Marc and Mandy Show is a design and lifestyle program airing weekly on Global TV. What makes it special is that it’s filmed in Blumenort, Manitoba. So why would a national show decide to work out of a small town?

At first glance, Maddie Thompson, only 13, may seem like an ordinary junior high student. What sets her apart? Many things, one of them the fact that she is a professional clothing designer, with clothes available in stores across the country.
