I hate to be the one to break the news, but winter is coming. The last of the warm summer days spent cruising down the countryside with the windows down and hair flying in the breeze are behind us. And what lies ahead looks bleak and depressing to many.

Living in Manitoba in the summer months has its dangers, like being carried off by a horde of mosquitos or suffering a slight sunburn. However, winter brings more severe dangers and less forgiving consequences to those who aren’t careful. 

If you’ve ever attended a Red River Rage R4U ringette game, you’ve most likely heard the team chant: “Our team is red hot!” This year, with ten girls aged four to eight, that chant will be shouted with lots of energy. The R4U program aims to give girls under eight the equal opportunity to develop skating and ringette skills

Another hockey season is upon us here in Niverville/Ste. Agathe! We are extremely fortunate to have yet another record year when it comes to registration numbers. To put it in perspective, Clipper Ice Sports (CIS) is almost at the same number of children registered to play as the City of Steinbach this year. We also have something we haven’t had for quite some time: a Midget team. Another bonus this year is four Novice teams (in the past, we’ve had just three).

November 4 marked another first-rate gala hosted by the Niverville Heritage Centre. Hundreds in attendance were treated to a night of fine dining accompanied by the inspirational and comedic storytelling of Jon Montgomery, 2010 Olympic gold medalist and host of Amazing Race Canada.

If you’ve met a modern 11-year-old girl, then you probably know the kinds of things Caydence is interested in.

Niverville’s second annual Winterfest & Market is well on its way. On Saturday, November 19, families can experience a fun-filled day to get into the winter and Christmas spirit.

It’s official: the Île-des-Chênes Minor Hockey Association (IDCMHA) will have ten home teams this year. After four weeks of practices, all teams were on the ice for the first Saturday of the regular season—eight at home and two away.

Frequently during election campaigns, at least in Provencher, there seems to be some level of vigilantism on display from members of the general public. One can only speculate on their motives.
