Candlelight: An Evening of Music and Legacy

On December 2nd, our community gathered at the Niverville Heritage Centre Atrium for a beautiful evening of music, remembrance, and connection. The Niverville Foundation’s Candlelight Concert brought together residents, families, and supporters for a warm and uplifting night to celebrate the season and honour loved ones.

Guests enjoyed moving performances by the Niverville Community Choir and guest pianist Melissa L’Heureux, whose music filled the Atrium and created a peaceful, reflective atmosphere. Candles were lit in memoriam, offering a meaningful way for attendees to remember those dear to them.

The heartwarming response to this year’s concert has shown us how meaningful this evening can be for our community, and we look forward to the possibility of continuing this tradition in the years to come.

This event was sponsored by WM Dyck & Sons, Krahn Bros Sheet Metal, and Von Ast Construction. Thank you to these local businesses that help us to host events such as these for our Niverville community!

About the Event

On Saturday, September 27, the Golden Friendship Centre was filled with creativity, community, and connection as we hosted our Prairie Visions Art Show. Guests enjoyed an afternoon and evening of art, conversation, wine, and light refreshments while supporting the work of The Niverville Foundation.

This special exhibition showcased the talents of seven accomplished artists from Niverville and surrounding areas. Together, they brought a vibrant mix of styles and perspectives that reflected both prairie life and broader artistic traditions.
