Orange Shirt Day Saturday

Saturday is Orange Shirt Day, a day to honour the survivors and remember the brutal history of residential schools here in Canada.

 

Cora Grant, a grade eight teacher from Westwood School, spoke to 102.9 CHTM about why it’s important for her to teach her students. She said that the history of residential schools is something that isn’t widely known, and that she feels it is her responsibility, as a teacher, to teach them about the subject.

 

Grant added that they will have a residential school survivor from Norway House, a relative of one of her students, visiting her class tomorrow.

 

The School District of Mystery Lake will be marking the day tomorrow, instead of on the actual day, since there is no school on Saturday.

Police Dog Key In Arrest Of Suspect

A police dog played a key role in an arrest made earlier this week for a man wanted across the country.

 

Egan, a police service dog, was able to locate 29-year-old Jonathan Boychuk in the backyard of a property on Red River drive Tuesday after the suspect had fled a traffic stop.

 

The stop was conducted by the Mounties on suspicion that Boychuk, the driver of the vehicle, was impaired.

 

Boychuk was wanted nation-wide for a parole violation, and now faces four additional charges; resisting arrest, being unlawfully at large, possession of a controlled substance and disobeying a court order.

 

Thompson RCMP say the investigation is ongoing.

Special Meeting Approves Cemetery Paving Project

City Council met last Friday for a special meeting.

 

The meeting was called in regards to the Thompson Cemetery, with the question before Council being whether or not Maple Leaf Construction should be awarded the contract to pave the interior roads.

 

The resolution was passed six to one.

 

Councillor Ron Matechuk was the lone councillor voting against the resolution, and said that he’d rather see the money go towards roads that are in worse shape and see more traffic.

 

The paving of the roads will cost the City of Thompson $85,000, which Councillor Blake Ellis said is manageable since $100,000 was originally budgeted for the job.

 

Councillors Wong and Byer were not able to make the meeting.

Province Looks Forward to Funding Applications From The City

With tough economic times looming for Thompson, City Council sent a letter to the province in August, serving as notice that the City will be applying for funding through the Mining Community Reserve Fund.

 

The letter from Dyson was received for information by City Council last week.

 

Dave Dyson, the Acting Deputy Minister for Growth, Enterprise and Trade, recently replied to the letter to confirm that it had been received, and to say that the province is looking forward to discussing the applications for funding with the City as they are sent in.

 

Mayor Dennis Fenske told 102.9 CHTM that the next step is to meet with Dyson to discuss the process of applying for funding. He added that after that, the City, in conjunction with Thompson 2020, will work on applications.

19-year-old Jordan Lerat faces multiple charges, including two counts of assault with a weapon, failure to comply with probation, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon.
 
A 15 and 16 year-old were allegedly attacked by Lerat on Saturday evening in the Westwood area.
 
A spokesperson for the RCMP says that they take all firearms-related calls very seriously and that this should serve as an important reminder that there are serious consequences to recklessly handling and discharging any type of firearm.
 
The investigation is still ongoing.

 

Recognition Of Youth Accomplishment At City Council

Publicly celebrating the accomplishments of youth in the community is uplifting for everyone.

 

City Council started off last week with three certificates of appreciations being handed out. The certificates were handed out to Brandon McDonald, Dennita Cameron and Simon Hopton.

 

McDonald was recognized for competing in the Special Olympics in Southern Manitoba, where he took home a gold medal in the 50m event.

 

Cameron was the lone Thompsonite competing in the 2017 Canada Games in Winnipeg, and took part in the high-jump event.

 

Hopton was awarded his certificate of appreciation for being the Scholastic Achievement League Champion for Manitoba. This is the second year in a row a Thompson has been crowned in the contest.

 

Mayor Fenske told 102.9 CHTM that everyone who goes out from Thompson to compete in these events are seen as ambassadors for the city, which helps put the Thompson on the map.

Mayor Fenske Gives Updates On Construction In Thompson

With fall just around the corner and winter not far behind, construction season here in Thompson is almost over.

 

Speaking on City beat on 102.9 CHTM late last week, Mayor Dennis Fenske gave an update on the various projects happening throughout the city. He said that paving is currently underway on three projects: the multi-use path on Princeton Drive, Selkirk Avenue, and a section of Campbell Drive.

 

Fenske added that all paving projects should be done by mid-September if the weather cooperates.

 

With regards to the new $30M waste water treatment plant, the Mayor said that they are still on the foundation phase of the project, which he said they expect to last for a while longer.

 

Mayor Fenske also addressed the Beaver / Staghorn / Deerwood area, saying that now that work is complete, the City will be sending in street sweepers to clean up from the extensive work that was completed over the summer months.

 

City Beat is a weekly show that occurs Thursdays on 102.9 CHTM at 11:30 CST.

OCN Looks To Marijuana To Help With Poverty

According to a report from the CBC, Opaskwayak Cree Nation has spent $3M on shares of a medical marijuana company.

 

OCN Chief Christian Sinclair said that the 10% ownership of National Access Canada is in preparation for the legalization of cannabis next year. Chief Sinclair added that in the past marijuana has been a part of the war on drugs, but now could be a part of the solution in the effort to end poverty in the community.

 

Sinclair added that the decision was one that has been unanimously accepted by OCN leadership and the Council of Elders.

 

Prime Minister Trudeau announced in the spring that marijuana will be legal across the country by July 1st, 2018.

City To Sponsor 2017 Manitoba Mining And Minerals Convention

The City of Thompson will be a Goldeye Club level sponsor at that 2017 Manitoba Mining and Minerals Convention.

 

The sponsorship, which will cost the City $500, was passed by resolution at City Council last week. The final vote count was six to three, with Deputy Mayor Valentino, Councillor Wong and Councillor Matechuk voting in opposition

 

Deputy Mayor Kathy Valentino spoke up in opposition to the resolution before the vote, saying that they should have reduced the amount of the sponsorship down to the minimum $250, with the extra money going towards personnel or other expenses related to the conference.

 

Councillor Judy Kolada voted in favour of the sponsorship, saying that the City should be going a step further with a booth at the event. She said that since there is both a communications and economic development officer in place, the City should start planning for some form of presence at the conference. She said that in past years they (the City) has scrambled at the last minute to put something together, and that she thinks that should be avoided this time around with the current situation facing the city with regards to Vale.

 

Councillor Penny Byer also spoke up in favour of the resolution and echoed what Kolada had said, saying that the City needs to determine their strategy for the convention in the near future. Byer added that sponsoring the event has been the standard practice for the City of Thompson in recent history.

 

Councillor Colleen Smook also spoke in support of the resolution, saying that it is always a good thing when the City is on display at events like this.

 

The 2017 Manitoba Mining and Mineral Convention takes place November 15th through the 17th at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg.

Thompson Airport To Receive Funding From Ottawa

The Thompson Airport will be receiving close to $700,000 from the Federal Government for improvements.

 

The $662,000, which is coming from Transport Canada’s Airports Capital Assistance Program, is going to be spent on replacing the main apron at the airport.

 

The paving work on the area where aircraft park before and after arriving is scheduled to be completed by mid-October.

 

Curtis Ross, the CEO of the Thompson Regional Airport Authority, said that they are very appreciative of the governments continued support and recognition of the importance of the airport in our region.

 

He added that the Airports Capital Assistance Program is an extremely important program for small airports in the country.

 

Federal Transportation Minister Marc Garneau said that the Thompson Airport is a vital link for residents and business in the North, and that the project will ensure continued safe operations for all.

New Report Says Rail Line Could Be Fixed For Under $50M

A report from engineering consulting firm AECOM says that the cost to repair the washed out rail line to Churchill is closer $40M than the $60M that Denver-based OmniTrax had originally quoted.

 

The recently released report also contains a 60 day plan to repair the line which could be completed by November should OmniTrax step up to the plate. The total cost of the repair, according to the report, is $43.5M.  

 

The document was prepared for Omnitrax, and identified damage at 130 locations along the 249km line, as well as more than 20 washouts.

 

The report was given to the Prime Minister's Office, the Manitoba government and Transport Canada and companies such as VIA Rail and Missinippi Rail, but not anyone from the Town of Churchill.

 

Churchill Mayor Mike Spence calls the situation frustrating, but remains optimistic that the line will be fully functional by the time winter rolls around. He added that he’s upset that he learned about the report through the media.

 

OmniTrax has offered a technical briefing on the report to representatives from the Town of Churchill, but Mayor Spence says that he’s not sure whether or not it’s worth it to attend.

VRCC Once Again The TRCC

The Vale Regional Community Centre is now officially the Thompson Regional Community Centre once again.

 

City Council voted on a resolution at Tuesday evenings City Council meeting that would have seen Vale granted naming rights to the facility until 2021. Vale would have contributed an additional $50,000 dollars towards the City had the resolution passed.

 

The argument from the councilors’ who voted in favour of the resolution was that the centre would not have happened without the contribution of Vale. Councillor Penny Byer spoke in favour of the resolution, saying that Vale contributed $3,000,000 to the project, which was well above what the city had asked for. Byer added that Vale’s name on the building was a small thing to thank Vale for all they do for the city.

 

Deputy Mayor Valentino also spoke in favour of the resolution, saying that the corporate naming of facilities is the standard practice for municipal facilities across Manitoba. She gave examples of Credit Union Place in Dauphin and the Keystone Centre in Brandon. She also added that the facility would not have been possible without the help from Vale.

 

Councillor Judy Kolada voted against the resolution, saying that the name should be kept as the Thompson regional centre, since a lot of taxpayer money went into the facility. She added that Vale should be recognized for their contribution, but that recognition shouldn’t be more than their name on a boardroom or other room inside the facility.

 

Councillor Dennis Foley also spoke against the resolution, saying that he had thought long and hard about it, and had decided that he believes the name should be the Thompson Regional Community Centre. After a lengthy debate, Foley put forward a motion to table the discussion so the proper information could be given to all councilors. His motion was defeated.

 

Councillor Wong also spoke against the resolution, saying that the name change to the Vale Regional Community Centre was illegal.

 

The resolution was defeated, as the vote was 4-4 and a majority is needed to pass a resolution. Councilors Byer, Ellis, Smook and Deputy Mayor Valentino voted in favour, while Councilors Foley, Wong, Matechuk and Kolada voted against.

 

Deputy Mayor Kathy Valentino was sitting in the Mayor’s seat for the vote, as Mayor Fenske had recused himself due to conflict of interest.

Crown Attorney Arrested By Thompson RCMP

Thompson RCMP have laid charges against a lawyer.

 

Crown attorney Elizabeth Patts, also known as Elizabeth Laite, has been charged with public mischief, stemming from an alleged incident that she reported near Norway House back in April.

City Council Meeting – September 5th, 2017

The City also received a letter from Minister Eileen Clarke. The letter informed the City that the land the new water treatment plant is on has officially become a part of the City of Thompson, rather than the Local Government District of Mystery Lake.
