The purpose of the Morden Police Service Board (MPSB) is to provide civilian governance respecting the Morden Police Service (MPS) to ensure the enforcement of law, the maintenance of public peace, and prevention of crime stated MPS Board Chair Lee Bassett.  

She added, according to the Police Services Act, police boards are to work collaboratively with the police chief and to establish the community's priorities and objectives for the police service, through strategic planning.  

Bassett reported the direction for the next four years.  

This year, it'll be a bit of a different May than other years for the Pembina Valley Red Dress Project (PVRDP), who in the past has held Red Dress exhibits in different communities across the Pembina Valley. For the last few years, PVRDP have held travelling exhibits in a variety of communities in the region, usually in parks, where red dresses are displayed in a variety of ways, sometimes featuring the work of local students, and usually with partner organization, Genesis House. 

City of Morden staff, Morden Police and Manitoba Hydro attended a scene last week on Stephen St, when a street light standard fell onto a parked car.

In a statement, Morden Police Chief Brad Neduzak said the gusty winds that day pushed over the pole onto a vehicle. There were no injuries, just damage to the vehicle.

Bruce Owen, Media Relations Officer for Manitoba Hydro, submitted this statement to PembinaValleyOnline when asked to comment on why this happened, and if there are more poles that are weakened and need to be replaced.

Saturday night at Zara’s Garden, a Roast and Toast party was held in honour of the former M.P. for Portage-Lisgar Candice Bergen.  

Many colleagues, Conservative party members, constituents, friends and family came to the event to tease and to thank Bergen for her service. 

Morden Fire and Rescue (MFR) has had a tough start to the year, according to Fire Chief Andy Thiessen, but not as far as fire calls go but as far as equipment goes. 

Last week Morden city council and CEO along with a couple staff members from the Public Works Dept attended AMM’s Spring Session and Trade Show.  

Mayor Nancy Penner said they were able to see some new equipment and opportunities to see what is new at the trade show. 

Lots of shaking of hands and conversations happened at Thursday's Morden Chamber of Commerce 2023 AGM at the Morden 55+ Activity Centre.  

Board Chair Tyler Schroeder was pleased with the full crowd, and the rate of growth the organization has seen, because of targeted efforts through the Strategic Plan. 

Morden Mayor Nancy Penner issued her first State of the City Address to a full house at the Morden Chamber of Commerce AGM on Thursday.  

Many topics of interest for eventgoers covered were water treatment plant, wastewater, Stanley Trail and healthcare worker recruitment plan updates, as well as plans for algae control in Lake Minnewasta through algae sonic ultra sonic control equipment.

When Morden Mayor Nancy Penner decided to run for her newly elected position as mayor, she had to resign her position as councilor for the city and from a position on the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) as Central District Director for the region.   

Now back in the municipal representative community, Penner took another bid for the director role.
