Greg Fehr is pleased to see so many immigrants choosing to make Niverville their home.

Fehr was reacting to a report from Statistics Canada this week that showed 19% of the town's residents are foreign born. He was a bit surprised by those numbers because often the focus of immigration in the southeast is on the Europeans and we forget some of the other groups that have moved in. Fehr appreciates the different perspectives and values the immigrants bring to the community of Niverville. Fehr adds Manitoba is a mixing pot province and now the southeast is becoming as diverse.
