A few new heritage signs are going to be set up along Main Street in Niverville celebrating the community’s history.

Mayor Myron Dyck says council was pleased to approve the plan and is excited to see the residents of Niverville taking pride in their community.

"We have a volunteer organization called Communities in Bloom, but it is not just about flowers and beautification, part of the beautification is also remembering our history and what we can do to ensure that we don’t lose what our history was in our community."

Dyck says the Communities in Bloom Committee has gathered a variety of photos from residents that show what the community used to look like. He notes there are already a number of signs in Niverville depicting their past, and these new ones will be a welcome addition.

"By the rail, if you come into town from the west you would see them on the building on the right-hand side, there is a photo of what the rail station used to look like as well a steam engine on the rail."

Dyck says without an official museum in Niverville, this initiative helps tell their story in a sort of urban museum. He notes a few businesses along Main Street have agreed to have the new heritage signs be put up on their properties.

The first sign will be placed at JWH Services Inc. and will tell the story of the Bronstone Family and the first store in Niverville, the second will be located at Niverville Chicken Chef and will show photos of the first business district, hotel, and livery stables, and the third will be placed at Niverville Physio telling the story of the Enns Garage and the first GM dealership in Niverville.
