14 people, mostly from Norway House, charged with sexually assaulting woman held against her will
Fourteen people, most of them from Norway House, are facing charges for the forcible confinement and sexual assault of a 34-yearold woman that was discovered Aug. 11. All but three of those facing charges are from Norway House. One of the alleged perpetrators remains at large and is being sought by Norway House RCMP. An officer was attending a residence as part of an ongoing investigation on Aug 11 when the woman came out of the residence and ran towards the police vehicle screaming for help. The officer saw that she was suffering from numerous serious injuries and she said she had been held against her will and repeatedly assaulted. More officers were called to the scene and entered the residence, arresting 11 people who were inside. The victim was taken to the Norway House nursing station and then transferred to hospital in Winnipeg for further treatment. Four of the accused – Kendra McKay, 29, Kiefer Menow, 29 and Stefan Monias, 30, all from Nor-
way House, as well as a 17-year-old female from Winnipeg – are charged with aggravated sexual assault, forcible confinement, uttering threats and assault and have been remanded into custody pending an appearance in provincial court in Norway House. Travis Apetagon, 40, turned himself into RCMP Aug. 20 and faces on charges of aggravated sexual assault, assault and forcible confinement. Eight others, including six women from Norway House ranging in age from 20 to 48, along with a 27-year-old male from Winnipeg and a 52-yearold male from St. Adolphe, are charged with aggravated sexual assault and forcible confinement. They were released and are scheduled to appear in provincial court on Nov. 18 in Norway House. Police are looking for Cody Monias, 36, from Norway House, on charges of aggravated sexual assault, forcible confinement and assault. Anyone with information on his whereabouts can call Norway House RCMP at 204-359-6483or Crime

Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. “We are extremely saddened by and concerned about the violence that has happened in our community,” said Norway House Cree Nation Chief Larson
Anderson in an Aug. 20 press release from Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, (MKO), which represents 26 Northern Manitoba First Nations including Norway House, where the organization’s general assembly
wrapped up the same day police issued a press release about the assaults. “We are working to find solutions to support the wellness of our citizens and to help ensure this type of violence does not impact other young people. We need proper housing and programs to support the children, youth, and adults of all ages. In order to deliver programs that will help to prevent violence, we also need to see an increase in funding. We stand in solidarity with the young woman who has experienced such a terrible ordeal and we will advocate for her to receive the supports she will need in the months and years to come.” MKO Grand Chief Garrison Settee urged anyone with information on Monias’s whereabouts to come forward and said governments need to work urgently to implement the 231 calls for justice made by the National Inquiry in to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). “On behalf of MKO, I am deeply disturbed by the horrific violence experienced by the victim," said Settee.
"It is shocking to learn how many individuals are alleged to be involved in this serious assault. Brutal acts of violence were inflicted upon the victim and these acts will impact the victim for a lifetime. I am sending our support for the 34-yearold woman. We will also stand in solidarity with the victim as this case moves through the justice system and support the victim on the journey of healing from the trauma." “The trauma experienced by the victim is unimaginable; the physical scars will heal, but the emotional and mental scars can last a lifetime,” said Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, director of MKO’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Liaison Unit, which provides support to families and communities who are impacted by the issue of MMIWG, survivors of gender-based violence, and two spirit and gender-diverse people. “The young woman who was victimized is loved and she is sacred. The actions of the people who assaulted the young woman have caused so much trauma.”
Garrison Settee re-elected as Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak grand chief BY IAN GRAHAM
EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Garrison Settee was re-elected as Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) grand chief at the advocacy organization’s general assembly in Norway House Cree Nation Aug. 18, taking about 80 per cent of the 73 votes cast by member First Nations' chiefs and councillors. The other candidate, Ken Bighetty, received 15 votes. Settee, a member and former chief of Pimicikamak Cree Nation, was first elected as MKO grand chief in 2018. “I want to thank our chiefs and councillors for their sacred vote they’ve invested in my leadership,” said the re-elected grand chief. “It’s something that I will always take seriously and always take with a humble spirit. I want to work for our people in the north. I am humbled today to be able to be chosen by you and to have that trust in me to continue work in this role and move our people forward.” The grand chief also por-
trayed himself as a black sheep in his family, saying most of them are not political people and shun publicity. “They told me this is the last time,” Settee said. “You should stop running for things.” Bighetty, a former Mathias Colomb Cree Nation councillor, said he would continue trying to improve the lives of Indigenous youth and that he wouldn’t let defeat discourage him. “In three years’ time, I will be here as well, here to run for the position of grand chief,” he said, noting that he had received many messages of support and believed his campaign was one that may have resonated more with First Nations’ members than with their leaders. “Three years is not that long.” Settee thanked his opponent for running against him. “He’s a good man, a very good man,” said the grand chief, dedicating his campaign to the memories of late MKO staff member Clyde Flett and also to his brother, who died a few weeks ago.

Hudbay produces first gold from New Britannia mill in Snow Lake
Nickel Belt News file photo The New Britannia mine and mill, formerly known as the Snow Lake mine and mill. The first gold from Hudbay’s refurbished New Britannia mill in Snow Lake was produced Aug. 11, ahead of the company’s timeline to do so by the end of 2021. Mill refurbishment was completed in June with commissioning and startup activities taking place in July. “We are proud of the New Britannia project
and operating teams for completing construction activities ahead of the original timelines and achieving a successful ramp up to first gold production,” said Hudbay CEO Peter Kukielski in an Aug. 12 press release. “This is a major growth milestone for Hudbay and our Manitoba business as it marks the beginning of the transition of our Lalor mine to a primary
gold operation.” A new copper flotation facility is being constructed at New Britannia and is expected to be commissioned in the last quarter of the year. Annual gold production from Snow Lake operations is expected to increase to over 180,000 ounces per year over the first full six years of New Britannia’s operation, Hudbay says.

Northern Sask. mine cleanup to cost roughly $1.6M BY NICK PEARCE
LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, SASKATOON STARPHOENIX
The Saskatchewan government has a price tag for cleaning up an abandoned northern mine. The provincial government is paying two companies roughly $1.6 million to remediate the former Newcor gold mine near Creighton. QM Points LP, a joint venture between QM Environmental and Points Athabasca Contracting, will receive $1,363,000, while SNC-Lavalin will get $242,000 to remediate the site. Newcor is one of six non-uranium mines the province has prioritized for cleanup. Two of those, the Vista and Western Nuclear sites, are also a stone's throw away from Creighton in the province's northeast. Newcor is considered the highest-risk site, due to its proximity to Creighton and Douglas Lake, a Ministry of Environment spokeswoman said. Since 2019, the province has paid at least $504,000 to SNC-Lavalin to study underground mine sites, including $104,000 approved in February that covered costs related to COVID-19, temporarily closing a mine shaft, and further planning and information gathering. That's on top of a $200,000 deal in June in which the province tapped the firm to develop an action plan and determine a long-term timeline for Vista mine's remediation. The province is responsible for 33 non-uranium abandoned mines in northern Saskatchewan, ranging from high-priority sites to small exploration shafts and trenches.
Newcor sits on the eastern shore of Douglas Lake, about three kilometres southwest of Creighton. Activity started on the site with the discovery of gold in 1933. Mining continued there until at least the late 1940s, according to a 2012 report prepared for the Ministry of Energy and Resources. Environmental standards and accountability weren't well established when the mine was developed, and the responsible parties aren't available for cleanup. However, the site is on Crown land, which leaves the province to manage the site's remediation, Ministry of Environment spokeswoman Val Nicholson said in a prepared statement. Remediation will begin this month and is scheduled to be completed by the end of October. Work will include a permanent concrete cover over the mine shaft opening. Vegetated soil and an engineered geotextile liner will also cover contaminated waste rock. The work aims to stop contaminants from entering Douglas Lake, Nicholson said. The site has been defunct for years and is cluttered with concrete, Creighton Mayor Bruce Fidler said. The municipality isn't directly involved with the remediation project, but the site's proximity may be an opportunity for local businesses and labour, Fidler said. "We're definitely looking forward to having these projects, and improving the environment," he added. "We hope it will be (brought) back to nature where people go and walk around and enjoy the area without stumbling over old broken cement."
Manitoba earmarks $600K for skilled trade training for Indigenous women BY DAVE BAXTER
LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, WINNIPEG SUN
The province announced Aug. 18 they will invest $600,000 into a program to offer more skilled trade training and opportunities to Indigenous women living in northern First Nations communities. During a press conference in Winnipeg, Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox announced the funding will be used in partnership with the Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC) to deliver a “multi-faceted”
skilled trades training initiative for Indigenous women in four northern and remote communities. Cox said that there is currently a shortage of skilled trade workers in Northern Manitoba, so the program is a way to make more workers available in the north, while also allowing Indigenous women to pursue careers closer to home. “We know that there is a great need to train and recruit skilled trade workers across Manitoba and particularly in the north, and the graduates of these programs will
ideally be able to fill these needs and stay in their home communities while doing so,” Cox said. The four communities chosen to participate in the program are Pinaymootang First Nation, Pimicikamak Cree Nation, Dakota Tipi First Nation, and York Factory First Nation. Cox added that Manitoba’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns “must include women and other underrepresented groups.” “I am confident by pursuing gender diversity in the

trades we will attract more women to pursue careers in this field, and in other non-traditional roles of employment,” Cox said. Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations Minister Alan Lagimodiere spoke during the Aug. 18 press conference about the challenges Indigenous women in Northern Manitoba currently face when seeking employment and careers. “Indigenous women in northern and remote communities face barriers that lead to unemployment and underemployment,” Lagimodiere said. “Their access to training can be limited, and it makes it harder to qualify for those better-paying jobs. “This program supports economic reconciliation as recommended by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and will improve the lives of Indigenous women
Sport, Culture and Heritage Minister Cathy Cox in Manitoba.” Cox said the targeted training initiative “will provide an opportunity for Indigenous women to acquire valuable skills in a supportive environment, and include ongoing mentorship during training and throughout their careers

in the skilled trades.” Training through the program will be delivered by MCSC in framing, water and wastewater installation, and blast hole drilling, which are all skills that are in high demand, the province said, and training through the program will begin with a threeweek job readiness course, and include safety training certification from the Construction Safety Association of Manitoba, and a one-day workshop on women in the trades. — Dave Baxter is a Local Journalism Initiative reporter who works out of the Winnipeg Sun.

HIKING AND CAMPING IN THE DUCKS
For nature lovers, Duck Mountain Provincial Park is paradise on earth. Set your home base at one of Duck Mountain’s campgrounds or rent a lakefront cabin and then spend the day hiking, fishing, swimming and enjoying the great outdoors. Like much of the Parkland region, lakes are plentiful in the Ducks. One of the park’s most impressive is East Blue Lake, a deep spring-fed lake with an unexpected turquoise water. There are
many hiking trails to choose from in this park. To name a few, the Copernicus Hill Hiking Trail features a viewing tower, while the Shining Stone Self-Guiding Trail follows along West Blue Lake. At 831 metres above sea level, Baldy Mountain is Manitoba’s highest peak. On clear days from the viewing tower of this peak, you’ll be treated to a spectacular view of aspen and spruce forests that stretch as far as Riding Mountain National Park.
the museum’s grounds is the Rex Leach Museum Trail that is as peaceful as it is green with varieties of ferns that decorate either side. Golfers must play a round at the Swan River Golf and Country Club – not only for the fun of it, but also to tick off an important bucket list item: golfing at Manitoba’s northernmost 18-hole course. Located in the Swan Valley, Magnet Hill is a natural phenomenon that you need to experience to believe. Head out on Provincial Road 487 and look for the signs and a dip in the road. Once there – place your car at the bottom of
the dip and put it in neutral and it will seem like your car is being dragged back uphill! Want to keep the fun going just a little longer? There are endless lakes, forests and parks to explore for the true outdoorsperson. The fishing here is a big draw, with fly fishing being particularly impressive. Catch species like rainbow trout, brook trout, bass, perch and pike. If you’re an avid angler, Swan Valley is a great area to spend a few additional days on this road trip. Ask any of the residents where the best fishing in the area is and Whitefish Lake is one of the first names dropped. For overnight stays, Swan River and the surrounding area has a number of accommodations, including the options at Duck Mountain Provincial Park along with hotels in Swan River.
