Book a way to preserve and pass on memories of growing up in Churchill

RCMP photo Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, are suspects in the murders of Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese on the Alaska Highway in B.C. and the death of a man on Highway 37 near Dease Lake, B.C. There was a sighting of the pair reported in Gillam July 23 and anyone with information on their whereabouts is urged to call 911 or their local police detachment immediately and to not approach the pair, who are considered dangerous.

Following the news that the Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA) recently cancelled 123 elective surgeries after three of

their four operating rooms in Thompson were closed due to water damage, CEO Helga Bryant wanted to assure the public that they can still provide emergency care. “Our goal right now … is

to always have one surgeon and one anesthetist [on call], because that is what we require in order to be able deal with emergencies,” she told the Nickel Belt News July 23. The NRHA also has one obstetrician and three operating room nurses on call in Thompson to help perform emergency procedures and emergency C-sections. To keep their single remaining operating room open for emergencies, the NRHA is helping patients receive elective procedures elsewhere in the province. “Every provider in Thompson is working with patients, working with Winnipeg, with The Pas and with Flin Flon to make sure that where clinical things need to happen that they are happening without delay,” Bryant said. “I think that’s really the message, is that everybody cares. Everybody cares very much about making sure that our patients get the service they need.” Thompson General Hospital’s three operating rooms have been shut down for nearly eight weeks since water damage – stemming from a faulty rooftop air conditioning unit – was discovered June 1. Last week, an NRHA representative said the cleanup and full restoration of these operating rooms could take up to six months to complete. During a July 18 public forum in Thompson, Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew told attendees that the hos-

pital’s insurance company only wants to restore the operating rooms to the state they were before being damaged rather than the current industry standard. The Thompson General Hospital’s operating room area was originally built in 1957 and renovated to the current layout in 1972. However, Bryant wouldn’t confirm or deny any ongoing dispute between the NRHA and their insurance company, and simply said the proper procedure is being followed. “I, as a CEO, really need to be leading that process and ensure that that is moving along as quickly as possible,” she said. “And I’m happy. I’m happy with the way it’s going. There’s good conversation happening and the process is being followed.” Back in May, the Manitoba government announced they would be spending $28 million on health care projects in the province. This included funding for a new roof and new operating room doors in the Thompson General Hospital and upgrades to its pharmacy security, nurse call system and lighting. Some of that funding was originally announced in February 2018 but did not proceed during the 2018-19 fiscal year. Bryant didn’t comment on whether or not this funding could be used to restore damaged operating rooms in Thompson.

Thompson remains the violent crime capital of Canada City says high ranking in 2018 Crime Severity Index is due to visitors, transient population and the legacy of colonialism

A snapshot from the scene of Thompson’s second homicide of 2018, which took place outside an abandoned building on Cree Road Aug. 30. BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Statistics Canada slapped Thompson with a dismal distinction once again July 22, when it released the annual Juristat Crime Severity Index (CSI) for 2018. Just like the last two CSI rankings, Thompson rated second overall (among communities in Canada with populations above 10,000) for the severity of crime reported to police with an index score of 365.90, which represents an 32-point jump from 2017. For the second year in a row, Thompson had the highest violent crime severity with a score of 569.85, a staggering 60-point increase from last year.

The city was third in non-violent crime severity with a score of 291.66. The city responded to these latest statistics in a July 23 press release. Thompson RCMP detachment officer-in-charge Insp. Brian Edmonds said visitors are committing the vast majority of these violations and that Thompson’s central location in Northern Manitoba attracts organized crime. Edmonds also said Thompson’s high CSI ranking is partially due to the RCMP’s proactive investigations that regularly nab drug dealers and impaired drivers. Coun. Jeff Fountain, chair of the public safety committee, said the ongoing crime

problem has deeper roots, since Thompson is on the front lines of contending with the violence, addiction and mental health issues that have resulted from the residential school system and forced relocation of many northern communities. “As the Hub of the North, the City of Thompson bears the brunt of these social challenges,” said Fountain. “Mayor and council and its partners will continue to seek out solutions and lobby for support at all levels of government.” Manitoba currently has the highest homicide rate and CSI ranking out of any province in the country, with 55 homicides in 2018 and an overall index score of 125.76, respectively.

Among Canadian cities with populations of over 100,000 people, Winnipeg has the third highest CSI ranking at 119.43, just behind Regina, Saskatchewan (126.63) and Lethbridge, Alberta (136.96). For the country as a whole, Canada’s CSI score increased from 73.61 in 2017 to 75.01 in 2018, although that’s still lower than the police-reported crime rate from a decade ago. As for Statistics Canada’s 2018 CSI rankings overall, the top five spots went to North Battleford, Saskatchewan (384.57), Thompson (365.90), Quesnel, British Columbia (291.83), Wetaskiwin, Alberta (270.04) and Portage La Prairie (262.84).

Cinema on wheels tours Northern Manitoba showcasing Indigenous films

Nickel Belt News photo courtesy of Wapikoni Moose Lake residents gather to watch movies by Indigenous filmmakers July 12 during the Wapikoni Cinema on Wheels Caravan tour, which also passed through The Pas, Flin Flon, Thompson, Nelson House, Cross Lake, Norway House and Grand Rapids. BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Filmmakers Mathilde Benignus from France and Evan K. Launière from Masteuiatsh, an Innu community in northern Québec, were in Thompson July 17 as part of Wapikoni’s Cinema on Wheels Caravan tour, which started in Manitoba July 8 and will finish at The Forks in Winnipeg July 30 before moving east to Ontario and Québec. The travelling exhibition presented about 15 short movies by Indigenous filmmakers in Canada at the University College of the North (UCN) Thompson campus lecture hall before hitting the road for Nelson House the next two days, Cross Lake July 20, Norway House July 23, Grand Rapids July 24 and Pinaymootang First Nation July 29. It had already stopped in Pine Creek, Swan River, The Pas, Moose Lake and Cormorant before arriving in Thompson Wapikoni was founded by a Québec filmmaker 15 years ago with the intention of going to First Nations

communities and doing documentaries with them instead of about them. In addition to the Cinema on Wheels tour, which exposes audiences to diverse Indigenous short films, the organization also travels to Indigenous communities to help them tell their own stories through film and music. “I believe you should also let the people talk for themselves,” said Benignus. “It’s really refreshing and sometimes also very political and poetic at the same time. People still have a sense of art and beauty. I think the films reflect that very well.” Launière’s involvement with Wapikoni began when he made a short film with their help in his home community. “I wrote a short little movie,” he says, explaining that it was call Les Zombies du WIFI and depicted a music concert where the crowd were all transfixed by the screens of their phones until somebody switched the WiFi off. The film will be shown at

the Montreal First Peoples Film Festival. “I’m very happy to get this chance [to travel around and show audiences Wapikoni’s films],” said Launière, who says visiting different communities has shown him that people are more similar than different. “We’re all from the same place and we just started splitting and walking,” he says. The tour wasn’t without miscalculations, as when they reached Northern Manitoba and realized outdoor movie screenings at 8 p.m. like Wapikoni does in Montreal, wouldn’t work very well when it doesn’t get dark until 11 p.m. But Benignus says the experience is enjoyable. “It’s always different [in every community],” she says, adding that she hopes seeing films made by other Indigenous people inspires those in Northern Manitoba to do the same. “It’s important to support independent movie makes,” and to realize all movies are not Hollywood blockbusters, she says.

NDP leader says his party needs to win Thompson seat to be able to form the next government BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew told a public forum at the Royal Canadian Legion in Thompson July 18 that he would be a different type of leader than Progressive Conservative party leader Brian Pallister if his party wins the next election. Saying that the current government reacts to news like shutdowns of mining facilities like they are a done deal, Kinew said if he were in the premier’s office, he would be taking action. “I’m picking up a phone, I’m getting on a flight,” he said. “I’m going to show up.” He also said that the Thompson electoral district, represented by PC MLA Kelly Bindle since 2016, was a key battleground for the NDP, which he said is the only party apart from the PCs that could possibly form the next government. Without Thompson, he said, the NDP will have a tough time forming a government. With that in mind, Kinew said he wants to see more health care services in Thompson. “It’s obvious that Thompson’s going to be a health care hub for the foreseeable future,” he said. Meeting attendee Ross Martin said that right now, Thompson is more of a transfer station and that having so many health care services based in Winnipeg made things tougher than they should be on northern

residents. “It’s not fair to the people of the north,” said Martin. “This should be a hub. I’m blind. I can’t drive.” The NDP leader also touched on education, saying he was in favour of smaller class sizes and helping families deal with barriers to education like poverty, poor nutrition, mental health issues and problems at home before students set foot in a school. “What if we had social workers to do the social work?” instead of asking teachers to do it, Kinew asked. “We’re a party that understands you have to put all the public resources together.” He also dismissed the kindergarten to Grade 12 education review underway as a “predetermined political exercise.” “We’d fire those commissioners right away,” he said, while keeping submissions from teachers and parents. Early childhood education and childcare were also touched upon, with Kinew saying waitlists and the pay for day care workers doing important work for society are among the biggest issues. He also hinted that there would be a campaign promise about day care coming later this summer. Kinew also held out the promise of better labour bargaining rights for public sector and health care workers, saying he would rescind legislation passed by the current government limiting unions’ ability to seek wage increases or ne-

The NDP leader also reiterated his belief that his political opponents

Essential gear for summertime hiking Anything can happen in the wilderness. That’s why it’s important to be well equipped when hiking, even if you’re only planning on being out on the trails for a few hours. Here’s a list of every thing you need for a day hike. • Backpack (20 to 40 litres is ideal) and a waterproof bag cover • High quality hiking shoes and socks • Moisture wicking clothing • Extra clothes including rain gear, a fleece vest, a longsleeved shirt, dry socks, a warm hat and gloves

• Sun protection including a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen • Head lamp and spare batteries • Identification • Watch • Trail map and a compass • Toilet paper • Fully charged phone • Plenty of water • Food and snacks • Survival kit that includes a multipurpose tool, duct tape, rope, a lighter, a whistle, a survival blanket and water purification tablets • First aid kit that includes adhesive bandages, scissors, splints, bug spray, over the counter pain medications, tweezers and antiseptic ointment • Trekking poles (not essential, but nice to have in many scenarios) You may not use everything on this list during your hike, but if you need it, you’ll be happy you thought ahead.

will attack him because they have no substantive policy ideas besides cuts and privatization. “It’s going to be a hard slog for the Conservatives

to run on health care,” he said. “They’re going to try to run by talking bad about me and the NDP.” Kinew urged people to look at the current govern-

ment’s record before election day Sept. 10 and ask themselves, “Do I really want three more years of that? I say it’s time for a change.”

12 safety tips for your next hiking adventure Ready to venture through the wilderness? Here are 12 tips for staying safe during your next hike. 1. Choose a trail that’s appropriate for your skill level 2. Never hike alone 3. Let someone know where you’ll be and when you plan to be back 4. Bring a map of the area and local trails 5.

Port of Churchill receives grain shipment for the first time in four years

Nickel Belt News photo courtesy of Arctic Gateway This past weekend, a load of grain arrived at the Port of Churchill by rail, the first time such an event has taken place since the fall of 2015. “It’s great news,” said Churchill Mayor Michael Spence in an interview with the Winnipeg Sun. “It’s great to see the grain moving again. We’re looking forward to seeing more freight moving into Churchill.” Canada’s only deep water Arctic port had been operating for close to

90 years when then owner OmniTRAX decided to shut it down in mid-2016. Things were made even worse in May 2017 when the Hudson Bay Railway was washed out in several places, which effectively severed Churchill from the rest of the province. A consortium of businesses and northern communities called the Arctic Gateway Group bought the port and the railway back in

September 2018, and have been working to restore both pieces of infrastructure ever since. Now that grain shipments have finally returned to the Port of Churchill, Arctic Gateway CEO Murad Al-Katib said the facility will be targeting durum, wheat, canola and lentil and pea crops from Manitoba and Saskatchewan for shipment to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. “This is the first season again in

How to introduce your kids to fishing If you’re an avid angler and you’re ready to introduce your kids to the joys of fishing, here’s how to get them hooked. GET THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT Chances are, your fishing tackles will be too big for small kids. Equip them with child-sized rods and reels that are easy to use and fit comfortably in their hands. Be prepared to do most of the work for them. FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION If you’re fishing from the shore, find an easy-to-access spot that doesn’t require a long walk to get to. If possible, find shallow water where the kids can see fish

swimming. This’ll keep them excited and interested. DON’T STAY TOO LONG The first time fishing with young kids won’t be the relaxing experience you’re used to. Plan to stay only half an hour and leave once they start to get bored. KEEP THEM COMFORTABLE Pack snacks, drinks and safety equipment for all fishers. Dress them in layers so they can remove clothes if they get hot, and bring an extra sweater in case they get cold. Don’t forget the bug spray and sunscreen. With the right introduction, you can impart a lifelong love of fishing to your kids, guaranteeing you a fishing partner for years to come.

many years, so not everything’s going to go 100 per cent smoothly but we’re prepared; we have great staff and great systems in place, so we’re pretty excited,” Al-Katib said in a phone interview with Bloomberg News.
