Northern highways need federal disaster assistance to cope with effects of high rainfall, says Northern Manitoba MP
BY IAN GRAHAM
EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET
Northern Manitoba NDP MP Niki Ashton says high rainfall is wreaking havoc on highways north of Thompson and that the federal government needs to provide disaster assistance to remedy the problem. A portion of Highway 280 42 kilometres east of Split Lake was experiencing flooding on July 2, according to a Manitoba highway conditions report just before 9 a.m. and there was high water at the edge of the road for a two-kilometre stretch beginning about 35 kilometres east of Split Lake the previous day. A washout made the highway impassable June 30. There was also an incident a few days earlier in which water was flowing over Highway 391 north of the Nelson House junction, reportedly due to beaver activity in the area resulting in blocked culverts. “Our north has had record rainfall and it’s meant that highways like PR 280 have washed out, Highway 391 has been deeply damaged and other roads including the one to Sherridon have been affected,” said Ashton, who represents the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding, in June 30 press release. “People have been left stranded. Communities are struggling. Federal disaster assistance must be made available to address the situation.” Thompson saw 117.8 millimetres of rain fall in June, the second-highest total in the last six years behind 2018, when there was 161.6 millimetres of rain. In 2016 there was only 44.3 millimetres of rain in Thompson in June, while in 2015, 2017 and 2019 there was about 60 millimetres for the month. The June 30 washout on Highway 280, which took around six hours to repair, delayed a few shipments of food to Manitoba Hydro’s Keeyask dam construction site, which now has a full complement of about 1,000 workers onsite, said a Manitoba Hydro spokesperson, while the one that occurred

July 2 was past the Keeyask junction and had no effect on operations. Ashton said cutbacks by the province, which is responsible for building and maintaining highways, is part of the problem. “The hiring freeze for civil servants, the cutbacks to the maintenance of our highways and the neglect of northerners’ infrastructure needs has contributed to this situation. Northerners depend on highways to get in and out of their communities, access essential services and live their lives. The federal government must be part of the solution to invest and restore critical infrastructure now.” The high amount of rain has also affected the boat launch and docks at Paint Lake Provincial Park, with the lake having risen high enough that people using the docks have to go through the water to get onto them now, though the Liz Lake launch is still accessible as normal, according to a post by Paint Lake Lodge. The high water also forced Paint Lake Lodge to shut down its fuel service June 30.

Northern highways in need of repairs Over the last couple of months, we have had a record amount of rainfall here in the North which has had a major impact on our highways and access roads. In the last couple of weeks alone there have been several serious washouts and some communities have been cut off from the rest of the province completely. While the government can’t control the weather, they can control how they invest in our province’s infrastructure. With climate change, these new extreme weather patterns are sadly going to be our
new normal. The government needs to ensure that infrastructure investments are made that take these changes into account. The Progressive Conservatives have historically made cuts both to upgrades and to maintenance on northern highways, now the North is paying the price. Over the last four years, the Pallister government cut the highways budget by 40 per cent. This means less maintenance and less staff in a region where small problems can become big problems very quickly. Highways are the lifeblood

Pre-planning, strong leadership and existing funds combined to keep the first wave of the coronavirus disease to a minimum on First Nations. However, the impact of a second wave of COVID-19 could have a different outcome. “The federal government is doing a reactive approach to this pandemic,� said Manitoba Regional Chief Kevin Hart, who is cochair of the Assembly of First Nations’ COVID-19 national task force. “For us as First Nations, we’re always on the back burner or even the third choice down the line. There’s even still systemic racism within those policies that the federal government has when it comes to its response.� Hart points to an April 23 letter he sent to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and five federal ministers, including Caro-
lyn Bennett (Crown-Indigenous Relations) and Marc Miller (Indigenous Services) requesting, in part, “urgent� delivery of shelter hospitals, personal protective equipment, and COVID-19 test kits for First Nations. The letter was a follow-up to similar requests made on April 10 and April 14. Hart said the email reply he finally received, which didn’t come from a minister, said there was nothing to be done for First Nations. Miller has stated that 87 per cent of First Nations have pandemic plans, but ISC has not provided Hart with a list of those nations despite Hart requesting that list. Hart also says the federal government claims to have a scenario for how they will respond should COVID-19 hit remote First Nations, but requests by Hart to see those plans have been ignored. Hart said the promised federal dollars for First Nations in the first round
