Niverville will be getting a new 9,200-square-metre multi-use facility. The multiplex will be built next to the new high school and will include a performing arts centre, community non-profit childcare centre, field house, spaces for leisure activities, an indoor play area, arena, meeting rooms and community common areas.

“The Town of Niverville is excited for the announcement of this new facility as it will provide a place for all residents to come together within our community. Serving as a multi-purpose space, the Centre will have something for everyone. Moreover it will support future growth for Niverville and the surrounding region, which will in turn create a more vibrant and healthy community,” said Niverville Mayor Myron Dyck.

The new “community campus” will cost nearly $20 million and will be paid for with help from the federal ($7.8 million) provincial ($3.5 million) governments. The town of Niverville will contribute $8.2 million towards the construction.

“This project represents Manitoba’s first community campus model and will leverage use of shared spaces to integrate culture, recreation, and community,” said Minister of Education and Training Kelvin Goertzen.
