WINNIPEG A fire forced the residents of a condo in Niverville to evacuate in the early morning hours on Thursday. Niverville Fire Department Keith Bueckert told CTV News the fire was reported at around 2:17 a.m. He said they were first called to a grass fire, but when they arrived at the condo building at 139 1st Street South, they found a fire that had started on a suite s deck and had spread. At that time, we had a fairly significant fire in the roof space, he said, adding the condo s tin roof trapped the heat inside and crews had to open the ceiling to fight the fire.

Today kicks off the 365-day countdown until Niverville hosts the 2022 Manitoba Games powered by Manitoba Hydro. Niverville hosts the Games February 27 to March 5, 2022.
The Niverville Host Society, under the direction of 70+ lead volunteers, is developing operational plans for every aspect of the Games, from food services and transportation, to signage and technology, to sport and venues, all with enhanced safety protocols on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Manitoba Games powered by Manitoba Hydro is the largest ongoing multi-sport event in the province. Thorough planning is necessary well in advance for an event this size, where athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and sponsors from across the province work together to provide a safe and memorable experience for everyone,” said Janet McMahon, Interim President & CEO of Sport Manitoba. �

This Christmas Eve, all are invited to join together and make a joyful noise outside on your lawn or deck for all to hear.
CHVN is inviting its family of listeners to tune in on December 24 at 7:00 pm, as together we step outside of our homes and sing a few Christmas carols together.
While we know many churches may be streaming their own services at that time, we invite all who are able to join us.
The hope is that people who are shut-in or alone, including senior citizens in care homes, will be able to hear the melodies from their homes.
