The Neepawa chapter of the United Commercial Travellers (UCT) is throwing its support behind community television. On Tuesday, Dec. 8, the non-profit organization donated $1,000 to Neepawa Access Community Television (NACTV) to aid the station as it begins its transition to the former Neepawa Press building on Mountain Avenue.

UCT president Norma Reid said NACTV has proven to be a real benefit to the community for years, so it’s important to support them as they start a new chapter in their history.

“We’d like to see [NACTV] prosper and expand, so anything we can do to help in that effort, we’re glad to get behind,” said Reid.

NACTV general manager Ivan Traill thanked the UCT for its support. He added that the community, as a whole, has always been a great supporter of the station, especially now, as it prepares to move into its new home.

The transfer of equipment from the Resource Centre to the Press Building began on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Traill expects to be in the new location and operation by the weekend or early next week.
