Northern Construction Trades Training keeps northerners close to home

Minster of Jobs and the Economy Kevin Chief traveled to Thompson on Aug. 11 to make an announcement regarding the Northern Construction Trades Training program. BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A program that started in January called Northern Construction Trades Training (NCTT) is helping keep northerners in the region by providing necessary training for hopeful tradespeople. NCTT is a joint initiative between the province of Manitoba, Manitoba Hydro, and different industry and training partners like Smook Contracting, where some of the trainees are working. Kevin Chief, minister of jobs and the economy, was in Thompson on Aug. 11 to speak about the program. The program will see 29 northern indigenous residents complete an apprenticeship which will lead to their Red Seal. “Part of the apprenticeship is the in classroom piece of it. They’ll do some essential skills and upgrading, some of the academic parts. There will be partnerships with Red River College, so it’s very intense.” Chief said in the next year there would

be 12,000 available construction jobs in Manitoba, so this program is very timely. The Northern Manitoba Sector Council, a not-for-profit corporation that represents Northern Manitoba’s mining, forestry and energy employers, leads the program. Participants are currently receiving apprenticeship training in the trades of millwright/pipefitter, industrial electrician and industrial mechanic. Patrick Cockerill spoke during the Aug. 11 event, about getting into the program. “I remember back when I first heard about this program, reading about it on the MMF website it seemed surreal. I couldn’t believe there was a program willing to take people from apprenticeship all the way to Red Seal, cover all their expenses, and give them the best chance at success.” The program is a five-year commitment, the 19-year-old stated, but was worth it since the program is covering all the fees, which Chief said is about a $30,000-

Cockerill says he’s always wanted to be an electrician and having the chance to work with the electricians at Smook Contractors, he sees himself completing the program. “I feel smarter everyday, and I have a pretty good basis going in for my level one at the end of the month. By the end of this program I see no issues with me getting my Red Seal, because all that is required is my commitment to the program, and they’re taking care of everything else.” Peter Paulic, vice-president and general manager of Smook Contractors says this program is a great opportunity for aboriginal people to start a career. Currently the company has 11 apprentices working, and 76 per cent of the employees are aboriginal. Mark Sweeny of Manitoba Hydroalso spoke about the program. “I had the opportunity to visit this year’s class in April, and speak to some of the students taking part in the Northern Construction Trades

Training program, and the excitement in the room was just amazing.” Forty-five per cent of Manitoba Hydro’s workers are aboriginal. Over 200 hopeful apprentices applied for the program, and Chief says they had to go through a rigorous process of picking the starting number of 32. The selection committee included Apprenticeship Manitoba, Northern Sector Council, and Manitoba Hydro. When choosing they took into consideration the person’s suitability, family support, willingness to be mobile, commitment to the four- to five-year program, and previous exposure to trades and the industry. Cockerill hopes that this program will continue so another group can experience the feelings these 29 northerners have felt. “I hope it continues to run because it would feel like a shame if this class were the only ones to experience this sense of luck, excitement and confidence in the future.”

Pride and expectation I have a dream. I dream that life can be so much bigger than it is, full of adventure, discovery and triumph against impossible odds. I believe that God is who He says He is and so I hope that if I persevere in faith I will see the Bible come to life all around me and that I will live like the apostle Peter, an ordinary person living an extraordinary life. I dream of preaching good news to the poor, binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming freedom for the captives and recovery of sight to the blind (Luke 4:18) and encouraging others to do the same. So often though, instead of pursuing this dream I ﬁnd myself distracted, not just by Facebook and Instagram and the lives that others are living, but distracted by fears and false expectations. Fears that tell me I’m not smart enough, good enough, talented enough, that no one cares what I have to say, and that I will fail. False expecta-

tions that say if I try really hard to do what God wants then I will have some big ministry or writing career. The interesting thing about these lies is that they are really just pride masquerading as fear and expectations. I don’t want to admit it because it sounds much more humble to say that I fear that I am not worthy; and if I fail then my pride will be wounded and I will realize that I was never as special or chosen as I secretly hoped. Of course all of that is rubbish and poppycock and a distraction from what is real and true. The truth is I am not better or smarter or more talented or more worthy than anyone else and that is a good thing because it was never supposed to be about me anyway. It is all supposed to be about Jesus, the only One who was and is and ever will be worthy. I am everything with Him and nothing without Him. (John 1:3) The Lord tells me how to live my dream but, and here

is the kicker, He doesn’t tell me what will happen if I do. He only tells me what to do. Sure, I could end up healing the sick, raising the dead and leading millions to faith in Jesus. But take up your cross and follow Me (Matthew 16:24) might also mean disappointments, failure, hardship and possibly even death. But that doesn’t let me off of following what He has instructed. So, if you are not put off by famine, nakedness,

darkness and sword or the possibility of laying down your life for the sake of the Gospel, then here are my suggested steps for living the dream. Step one: “you shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:30) Pride is an idol that gets in my way of putting God ﬁ rst and it has to go. To paraphrase a preacher I heard recently, God’s not going to sit on a committee and consider someone else’s opinion. He issues a command; I get to choose

my response. Step two: “love the Lord your God with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37) When I am in love I am distracted, not by the things around me but by the object of my affection. All other distractions fade away; they lose their urgency and pull. When I am with Him I want to do what will please Him, not because I have to but because I get to, because I want to. Step three: obedience. Jesus said (John 14:15) “if you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” How often we fool ourselves, saying that we believe in Jesus but living lives that say otherwise. We are not the ﬁ rst to be deceived into believing that a bit of lip service and genuﬂ ecting on Sundays are good enough. People have always thought they could

Flood channel funding announcement forgot First Nations, Liberal candidate contends BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Churchill-Keewatinook Aski Liberal candidate Rebecca Chartrand says the federal and provincial governments are not taking those affected by the 2011 flood into account. Chartrand joined protesters from Dauphin River, Lake St. Martin and other First Nations at the Manitoba legislative building Aug. 12. The flood-affected residents are upset that they still have outstanding damage claims and are living in hotels four years after the natural disaster took

place. The federal and provincial governments announced July 31 that they were committing nearly half a billon dollars - $330 million from the province and up to $165 million from the federal government – for construction of new Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin outlet channels, which has an estimated cost of $495 million. “With unprecedented chronic flooding facing our province, the new Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin outlet channels will protect the lives and

livelihoods of Manitoba families living in the Lake Manitoba basin,” said Premier Greg Selinger in a press release. “As part of Manitoba’s $5.5-billion, five-year core infrastructure plan, this investment will create good jobs and give Manitoba communities the protection they need for growth and economic prosperity in the future.” “We are proud to invest in the Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin outlet channels project,” said Conservative MP for Portage-Lisgar and minister of state for so-

cial development Candice Bergen. “It will enable the province to monitor and adjust the water levels on Lake Manitoba while supporting Canada’s economic well-being.” Chartrand said in an Aug. 12 press release that announcing the project without mentioning about 2,000 First Nations evacuees still living in hotels or consulting chiefs from surrounding communities showed a lack of respect for First Nations. “It is unacceptable to talk about flood protection for Lake St. Martin without also working to address the devastating impact of the last major flood,” said Chartrand. “For over four years, displaced people have been living in squalor with no place to call home and a government that continues to look the other way.” The Liberal candidate also suggested that the timing of the announcement – a few days before the prime minister called the Oct. 19 election – made it seem like campaigning. “I have also heard from many First Nations’ chiefs who question whether this announcement is anything more than an empty election promise,” said Chartrand, whose press release stated that the Liberal party is “committed to working with First Nations through a nationto-nation dialogue in order to address longstanding issues and bridge the divide between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal quality of life in Canada.”

Snow Lake in ﬁnals for Manitobaville BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY hoping to use the money MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Snow Lake has made the ﬁ nals of the Manitobaville contest, presented by Bell Media’s Manitoba properties as well as Westoba Credit Union, SAFE Work Manitoba, Roberston College, Chicken Chef, Star Building Materials Ltd, and Recycle Everywhere. Hopeful cities were asked to prepare a video of why their community needs the grand prize, which is a cheque for $25,000. The top 10 were named on Aug. 7 and included Snow Lake, which is

towards beach upgrades. The beach enhancement committee and local residents joined together to fi lm the ve-and-a-half fi minute video. The committee says the money would go to the overall enhancement of the beach, starting with landscaping, and upgrading the children’s play equipment on the lakefront. The dock is also in need of an upgrade, the video explained, as well as the fl oating dock out in the water, which people can swim to. Sticking with the

swimming theme, another area the money would go to would be a splash pad, as they only have one water structure. “As you can tell, the town of Snow Lake is enjoyed by many, and it’s one of the most wonderful places to ever live, and raise your kids. We’re very fortunate up here and we would really like the opportunity to have this chance,” the video explained. Workers from the local daycare were featured in the video explaining how the daycare can’t come to the beach in the summer because there is no lifeguard, but if the splash pad was improved, that would benefi t their business. Snow Lake Mayor Kim Stephen says the video was quite last minute, but fi nding out they made the fi nals was a feeling she’ll never forget. “My adrena-

line was flowing. When I found out that morning that we had made it through. I was up and at my computer already sending out links to family and friends for them to support and vote for the community.” Stephen says it’s the fi rst time Snow Lake has taken part in Manitobaville, and hopes since the town is the only northern fi nalist thatother northern communities will support the town.“If it was Thompson or Churchill, we as Snow Lake would be supporting them, so I just hope anyone in the north in the paper will use the links to vote.” Anyone can vote online once a day through the websites of CTV Morning Live, 103.1 Virgin Radio, TSN 1290, 96.1 BOB FM, 101 The Farm and 99.9 BOB fm.

PimicikamakThunder win twice at fastpitch nationals in Prince Albert BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A few days after winning the boys’ under-16 Western Canada fastpitch championship in Regina, the Pimicikamak Thunder – made up of players from Cross Lake and elsewhere in Manitoba – were on Saskatchewan ﬁelds again in the U16 boys’ Canadian fastpitch championships in Prince Albert. The Thunder started well on the tournament’s opening day, winning their ﬁ rst game 7-5 over the Warman Poly Plus Pride from Saskatchewan. Pitcher Megwan Muswaggon gave up three hits and 10 walks while striking out 14 in a complete game. Preston Seymour had a home run while Justin Nachbaur drove in two runs for the Thunder. Pimicikamak’s second game was a 2-1 loss to the West Hants Thunder from Nova Scotia and they wound up the opening day with a 5-2 loss to the host Prince Albert Astros. The Thunder got back

on a winning track in their first game Aug. 6, as pitcher Theorn North struck out 10 and surrendered three hits in six innings of work as his team edged the Saskatoon Selects 7-6. North also drove in three runs, as did Nachbaur. Pimicikamak’s second game of the day was a 17-7 loss to the Glencoe HR Sports Force from Ontario. The Thunder dropped a 4-1 decision to Chepstow Lang Farms from Ontario on Aug. 7 and ended the tournament with a 5-1 loss to Eastbound Speedway from Newfoundland and Labrador on Aug. 8. Muswaggon tied for the lead with 32 strikeouts in the tournament while North was tied for the second-highest total with 23. North was third overall in earned run average at 2.21 while Muswaggon was seventh with a 4.44 ERA. Nachbaur was the round-robin all-star first baseman while Wyatt Bear was named an outfield all-star.

Mud and fun … but no sun! Marc Jackson

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com The pits were deeper, longer, and wider; the weather was a little cooler, and there might have been a few less participants, but as far as being a spectator sport, Chell’s second-annual Mud Run came through on all that was promised. On the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 2, 145 people were on hand at the paintball pit east of the community cheering and yelling encouragement to the drivers in this year’s “mudbog.” There were 11 participants in the runs and perhaps as a sign of the times, more of them were driving UTVs this year than there were last year. Actually, organizer Chris Chell says that there is a lot more interest in bogging with larger vehicles and as a result he is looking at doing something with trucks … maybe in a couple weeks’ time. If that venture succeeds, he may incorporate trucks into the Mud Run for the 2016 event. “Maybe doing the ATV’s and UTV’s on the Saturday and trucks on the Sunday … we’ll see how it works out,” said Chell. Five ATV’s (quads) and six UTV’s (side-bysides) took part in the event and the machines and drivers were put through their paces in a 80-foot long by 20-foot wide mud and gravel pit, filled with two to three feet of water (there was further 60-foot extension of the pit for modified classes). Mud bogging is a form of off-road racing popular with an ever-growing multitude of ATV, UTV and truck operators. The objective is to drive the off-road vehicle through

a pit of mud. Winners are determined by the distance travelled through the pit; however, if said vehicles are able to travel the entire length, the time taken to navigate the pit determines the winner. Chell says that there is a trick to running a vehicle through a bog and it involves leaning back on your machine to garner traction; however he counters that with skid plates on the bottom of most machines, they hydroplane and the front wheels don’t get any purchase … leaning back won’t really help that. Getting underway at 12 noon, the races began with 700 (cc) stock class, before moving quickly through to 800 stock, prior to the stock side-by-sides taking to the track. After a break in the action,

the ATV and UTV modified classes followed. The winners were: 700 stock – Shelby Stoupe first, Al Johnson second and Blair McLaughlin third; 800 stock – Dennison Brule first, Shelby Stoupe second and Bryce Henderson third. Open stock – Dennison Brule first, Randy Holmgren second and Bryce Henderson third; 800 modified – Dennison Brule first, Bryce Henderson second. Open modified – Dennison Brule first, Bryce Henderson second. In the UTV 800 stock event – Stephan Lavoie of Flin Flon first, Brady Gaudet second; UTV stock open –Richard Gartly first, Jason Samborski second and Brady Gaudet third. UTV Modified – Jason Samborski first, Stephan Lavoie second and Alex Menzies third.

The entry fee for each vehicle was $10 and all money went to winners in the respective classes. In addition to those taking part in the races, there were a good number of spectators in attendance. There was a canteen selling hot dogs, coffee, pop and such and like last year, it was very well structured. The event was a labour of love for the organizer, local businessman Chris Chell. He noted in the inaugural event last year that this was something that he has wanted to do in the community for years. Well, with the runs that took place on Aug. 2 Chell’s hope that the Mud Bog would become an annual affair became a reality. With his intention to open things up to trucks … it can only get bigger and better!
