The dream of the Niverville Heritage Centre began with the challenge of meeting the needs of the aging population of Niverville and area.  Niverville at that time was the largest community in all of Manitoba without a personal care home or hospital.  This resulted in many of the seniors and our community builders having to leave their community because of the lack basic support services.  In 2001 Town Council visited Edina, Minnesota where they toured a facility that contained a central atrium with amenities such as an event centre, commercial office, retail and professional services space and an assisted living residence for seniors.  The facility immediately impressed on the minds of the Councillors on that visit that this could potentially serve as the model to follow if they were ever going to develop a facility that would address the supportive services that seniors needed.  In 2002, several funding and operational feasibility studies were conducted that resulted in the community launching a fundraising campaign in 2003, which raised $2,000,000 towards the construction of a new facility.  Earlier, a member of the community had purchased a 30,000 square foot abandoned warehouse and converted part of that space into a beautiful banquet hall.

In 2004 the Town of Niverville purchased that facility as Phase 1 of their plan.  The first step was begin the development of the commercial space and partnered with South East Health to establish a Primary Health Care Centre.  This modern concept health services facility was built with doctors, nurses, home care workers, mental health workers and other health care professionals now based at the Heritage Centre and serving the region. The second step was to reposition the event centre in the market and soon they more than doubled the number of events hosted there.  Soon an anchor tenant was found and more of the available space was renovated and converted to office space generating much needed revenue as the business model began to take shape.  As the business grew and fund raising continued, it soon became possible to enter the next phase of development.  In 2007 construction began on the Assisted Living and Supportive Housing residence and a spectacular timber framed atrium that has served as a community gathering place. Today the Heritage Centre is home to the aforementioned Primary Health Care Centre, a doctor’s office with 3 full time doctors, a dental office, physiotherapy and sports injury clinic, and a daycare.  The event centre continues to thrive and annually hosts more than 15,000 guests
