Niverville’s council met on the evening of Tuesday, February 4 to discuss a variety of items on the town’s agenda. Councillors Kevin Stott and Chris Wiebe were absent. 

The Town of Niverville is investigating what form their involvement should take in helping the Niverville Open Health medical clinic stay open. Since Drs. Chris and Mairi Burnett went public about their personal health crisis, the clinic’s struggle to remain open has become an issue of significant importance.

Earlier this month, Hanover School Division superintendent Randy Dueck announced his plans to retire at the end of the current school year, bringing an end to a tenure that has lasted seven and a half years and seen tremendous growth and change.

Life is fragile and can change dramatically in the blink of an eye. The husband-and-wife physician team of Drs. Chris and Mairi Burnett can attest to that, as Mairi was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells in her bone marrow.

Adding to the ever-expanding retail options in Niverville, Red River Co-op Pharmacy will be among the next wave of businesses to open its doors in the community. Opening in mid- to late-summer of this year, the standalone pharmacy will be located at the Niverville Heritage Centre next to the dental office at 101 Second Avenue South.

Niverville’s council met on the morning of Tuesday, January 21 to discuss a variety of items on the town’s agenda.
