Niverville’s mayor and three of its four current councillors are seeking re-election in the upcoming Manitoba municipal election on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Mayor Myron Dyck has already been acclaimed for another four-year term, while Deputy Mayor Nathan Dueck, Councillor Chris Wiebe, and Councillor Meghan Beasant have all announced their intention to run again. Only Councillor Bill Fast will not be on the ballot, leaving at least one open seat on the five-member council.
According to the Town of Niverville, the new council term begins at noon on Thursday, October 29, 2026. Mayor Dyck, who has served on council for 18 years including eight as mayor, was elected by acclamation when no challengers filed nomination papers. Deputy Mayor Dueck said he wants to continue working on priorities like a new fire station and the next phase of the Community Resource and Recreation Centre. Councillor Wiebe, first elected in 2014, is running for his fourth term, and Councillor Beasant is seeking a second term after first joining in 2022.
Councillor Bill Fast has confirmed he will not seek re-election for personal reasons. Fast first served on council from 1984 to 1986 and returned in 2022. His departure guarantees that residents will choose at least one new voice for the council.
Niverville has been Manitoba’s fastest-growing municipality, with its population increasing 29 percent between 2016 and 2021. That growth has put pressure on local infrastructure, and the next council will oversee continued efforts to expand services. The town’s five-member council includes a mayor, deputy mayor, and three councillors, with the deputy mayor appointed from among elected councillors at the start of each term. Residents can find more information about the election, including how to run as a candidate or where to vote, on the municipal election page.
