On November 11, the Niverville Fire Department held their annual perogy fundraising supper at the Golden Friendship Centre. Every year, the department uses the occasion to put money aside for a major purchase.

Fire Chief Keith Bueckert says that the fundraiser was once again a big success and they raised $6,500 before expenses. This year’s funds will go toward the purchase of airway and childbirth mannequins, which are used for training medical responders. Other rescue equipment is also possible, although the department is still researching specifically which items are most needed.
