Massive changes have been made at Neepawa Access Television (NACTV). Just under 30 people attended the non-profit organization’s annual general meeting at the Neepawa Library on Tuesday, Nov. 1. Perhaps some of them were simply there hoping to see fireworks similar to those that occurred during the 2015 AGM, when the board chair was ousted during what turned into a very combustable get-together. While there were no such theatrics this year, that doesn’t mean that there were not some dramatic decisions made on the future of the station.

Archivist, Beautiful Plains Archives
The Beautiful Plains Archives, located in the Beautiful Plains County Court Building, are looking to add to their large collection of records of the history of the Beautiful Plains area. These records could be from the business community, schools, churches, sports, service clubs, theatre, choirs, music groups, festivals, medical, political, artists, musicians, writers, local television station and many more. Our communities have been built and still are being built on the activities and programs of all of these groups.
