Premier “Puts in a Shift” at Canadian Tire Kelvin Goertzen, Premier of Manitoba and MLA for Steinbach participated in “Take Your MLA to Work Day” by partnering up with an employee at the local Canadian Tire. The event provides a powerful opportunity to showcase the skills and talents of Manitobans with disabilities in the workplace. This campaign is intended to raise awareness about the benefits of hiring Manitobans with disabilities by showing that integrated, community-based
employment and careers should be the expected and preferred outcomes of publicly funded services for those with disabilities. “What a pleasure it was to spend time with William this evening at Canadian Tire in Steinbach,” said Goertzen. “As part of Disability Employment Awareness Month I was honoured to participate in Take Your MLA to Work Day. Great discussion with William about his job and also hockey and the Bombers.” Kelvin Goertzen, Premier of Manitoba and MLA for Steinbach participated in “Take Your MLA to Work Day” by partnering up with an employee at the local Canadian Tire.

RCMP Detachment Slated for Niverville By Angelique Forest The Council of the Town of Niverville, in consultation with the RCMP, awarded a contract to Calnitsky Associates Architects Inc. of Winnipeg in early October 2021 for schematic and detailed design of a proposed RCMP Detachment in Niverville. According to Council, since the town has an increased population with over 5,000 residents, the addition of a detachment is no longer an option, but a necessity. Over the last year, Niverville Council has been meeting with officials from RCMP to secure the goforward strategy on continuing and enhancing the protective services the RCMP provides to the commu-
nity. Through these meetings both the Town and the RCMP agree that the greatest value to the residents of Niverville is a new detachment that will be built within the Town’s Administration Office campus on Bronstone Drive. The new detachment is expected to be opened and staffed in the first half of 2023, taking a year and a half approximately to complete the project. The detachment is anticipated to bring additional officers to Niverville with upwards of four officers permanently calling Niverville their home detachment. In addition, more administrative and public services related to the RCMP will be available in the community.
