The St. Pierre Jolys RCMP is looking for the public’s help with their investigation into a series of thefts from motor vehicles in Niverville. According to reports, a darker-coloured minivan drove through town during the early morning January 26 and was captured by multiple video surveillance cameras.

The services of Native Plant Solutions (NPS) have once again been called upon by Niverville’s town council. With new provincial guidelines regarding herbicide use in waterways, the lakes in Fifth Avenue Estates are becoming overgrown with weeds in the rip rap, the stone abutment used to armour the shore against erosion.

Providence University College is once again setting out on its annual Public Lecture Series, with many of its professors holding free lectures throughout southern Manitoba. The goal of the program, currently in its sixth year, is to give members of the community an opportunity to engage post-secondary academics on a range of relevant subjects.

When Tara Friesen drove by the Niverville Post Office on the morning of December 14 and saw an RCMP presence outside, she knew something was up. Later that day, a call confirmed her fears. Not only had there been a break-in, but the Christmas gift she had ordered for her husband was missing.

Escaping the Manitoba chill for a tropical climate has become like a winter sport for many of us.
