Also, have your heard? There is a Neebing Yard Sale happening in our community on May 4th & 5th, from 11am to 4pm.

We’ll be selling Firewood Tickets at one of the yard sale locations: 395 Hwy 608. Stop by and get your tickets and maybe a new-to-you treasure!

Your purchases help us support Neebing Emergency Services.
Thank you.


With the warming temperatures and the ground drying up nicely, we’ll soon be scheduling Can Sorts.

For those of you who haven’t been at one, they are a gathering of community members who sort through the bags of cans (beer, pop, etc.) that have been donated to NFRA at our landfill bins.

Some of us do counting and bagging of beer cans for returning; these give us the highest return. Pop cans (and canned good cans) go into separate bags and re valued by weight.

We spend 2 hours, sometimes 3 if the sun is out and the conversation is good , on a Saturday morning doing our part to raise funds for Neebing Emergency Services.

If you’d like to know when & where our next ‘Sort’ will be, just drop us an email at nfraevents@gmail.com. Come out and Join Us!


Be safe, be well and be kind.
Joy Harris
NFRA – President
