  • Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival
    LOCAL NEWS The Party of the Century: Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival May 07, 2020 @ 12:30am Brenda Sawatzky [email protected] Crowds gather for the infamous Niverville Pop Festival in May 1970. On stage: Dianne Heatherington. Photo: Hans Sipma The hippie movement was alive and well in 1970, riding on the waves of the 1967 Summer of Love where more than a hundred thousand hippies converged on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to celebrate counterculture music, drugs, free love, and anti-war sentiment. In 1969, Woodstock, New York became famous for its three days of peace and music. Nine months later, hippies would once again amass—this time at a setting much closer to home. This local music event would go down in history not just for the calibre of bands scheduled to play but the memorable events that followed. Sunday, May 24, 1970 was the day of the Niverville Pop Festival. Niverville’s Woodstock During the 1960s and 70s, Winnipeg was a hotbed of young musical talent. One of those bands, called Brother, was quickly rising in notoriety. Its members included Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter, and Vance Masters, and their talent established them as one of the city’s hottest supergroups. Harold Wiebe, formerly of the Niverville area, recalls a night spent in the pub of the Westminster Hotel. There, friend and band member Bill Wallace joined him for a drink between sets. Wallace shared with him an idea to recreate Woodstock right here at home. But unlike Woodstock, Wallace wanted this event to have a charitable purpose.

  • Rock Royal and Master of the Guitar Solo Triumph's Rik Emmett
    A Beautiful Day For A Walk For a change of pace (no pun intended), the 2014 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes© event was held a week later than previous years. In order to accommodate an event at the Cenotaph, we altered the walk route from once around Victoria Park to going north of the park, around the Richmond/Pall Mall/Wellington block and returning to Centennial Hall. This added a bit more wear and tear on the feet of London’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen but they still had fun and returned smiling. Even though the day started with some rain, by mid- morning the sun had appeared and it turned out to be a perfect day for a Walk. At least 100 walkers, and double that in well-wishers, took to the streets in the sunshine and warm temperatures to raise money for Women’s Community House and to show community solidarity to end violence against women. Upon return to Centennial Hall, everyone enjoyed complimentary refreshments and award presentations. This year’s Shoe-per-Hero award was presented to Al Murphy, the individual who raised the most money and the Shoe-be-do Trophy for the team that raised the most in pledges was awarded to Team Bluestone. At the time of writing this article, the total monies raised from the 2014 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes© was approximately $33,000 with further pledges expected to be received. Donations can still be made to the Walk by going to www.walkamilelondon.ca and clicking on the Donate Now button.
