Cryptocurrency exchange with Churchill address isn’t registered to trade securities in Manitoba

A cryptocurrency exchange that claims its Canadian headquarters is in an unoccupied house in Churchill is not registered to trade securities in Manitoba, warns the Manitoba Securities Commission (MSC).

The MSC issued an investor warning about CrypTrade24, which claims to be legally registered in the Netherlands and operating from a two-bedroom bungalow in the Northern Manitoba port town on the shores of Hudson Bay. Staff of the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets told MSC investigators that CrypTrade24 is not registered in the Netherlands, while the provincial government department that owns the company’s purported Canadian headquarters at 93 Button Street in Churchill says the building is currently unoccupied though it is sometime used as a residence for government employees who have to travel to Churchill for work.

“The address had me do a double take,” said MSC senior investigator Jason Roy in a news release. “I’ve seen many offshore trading firms use fictitious addresses, in-

cluding a Winnipeg parking lot,” CrypTrade24 promises up to a 200 per cent return on investment within 20 days, which is a “major red flag for fraud,” according to Roy. “Investors cannot rely on the look of a website to determine if it is legitimate, and they can’t rely on how nice the person on the other end of the phone is,” Roy said. “Investors need to make sure the person they are dealing with is registered to sell investments in Manitoba. It is the number one way to protect against investment fraud.”

The British Columbia Securities Commission has also issued an investor caution naming CrypTrade24, the MSC says.

Anyone considering buying or selling an investment should research the company thoroughly and/or talk to their registered investment advisor to assure it is an appropriate decision, says the MSC. Common features of fraudulent investment opportunities are promises of high returns with low risk, pressure to invest quickly or limited

Manitoba reports 16 new COVID-19 cases, hits 400 total - no new cases in north ERIC WESTHAVER FLIN FLON REMINDER

Manitoba hit the 400 case mark during COVID-19 with a spate of new recent positive tests, including 16 new cases of COVID-19 reported over the weekend and Monday morning.

The new cases were reported July 27. Four cases were found each in Winnipeg, Prairie Mountain Health, Southern HealthSante Sud and in the Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority.

A possible exposure was reported by the province in southern Manitoba cottage country - a person who was at the Sherwood grocery store in Gull Lake July 1921 has tested positive for the disease.

The new cases bring Manitoba’s active caseload up to 74 active cases as of July 27, up from only one active case July 13. Seventythree cases have been found in Manitoba in the past two weeks.

Manitoba chief provincial public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin said July 27 that the uptick in cases was not unexpected, adding that no province or health authority should assume they are in the clear during COVID-19.

“We had quite a stretch there with zero cases and we’re seeing cases emerge again. We know we’re not done with this virus. We need to continue the precautions that got us where we are now and we’re going to need to continue those moving forward. We need to reiterate staying home when you’re ill,” said Roussin.

Roussin also discussed how the disease has spread through community events.

Some recent outbreaks in Manitoba and Saskatchewan have been tied to large events, including a funeral in Alberta.

“A number of our recent cases are linked to such things as funerals. We know that this is where this

virus can thrive, in events like this - it’s close, prolonged contact, the nature of events like this makes social distancing very difficult, and if we’re not cautious, this is how we see this virus spread,” Roussin said.

With the fall cold and flu season around the corner, Roussin said all people with flu-like symptoms should stay home. Many common symptoms of COVID-19 are similar to symptoms of cold and flu.

“Businesses and families need to really start making plans for this respiratory virus season coming this fall. People staying home when they’re ill, we know that’s plenty of people when respiratory virus season comes in. Businesses should have plans for increased absenteeism come this fall.”

Meanwhile, none of the new cases have been reported in northern Manitoba. The Northern Health

Region (NHR) has not reported a new case of COVID-19 since April 8, making it nearly four months and well over 100 days in total since the last case was found in the region. Travel restrictions to northern Manitoba from southern Manitoba or other

regions have been lifted.

Manitoba provincial press briefings on COVID-19 will be cut back from twice a week to once a week as of this week.

Rules on public gathering sizes, both indoors and outdoors, will remain the same with the provin-

cial government aiming to move into the next phase of a provincial reopening, along with a 14-day self-isolation requirement for anyone travelling into Manitoba from eastern Canada, including much of Ontario, Quebec and the maritime provinces.

Boil water advisories still in effect in three Manitoba First Nations communities NICOLE WONG, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER

Boil water advisories (BWA) in three Manitoba First Nations communities are still in the process of elimination since the 2015 federal election campaign.

During that campaign, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to eliminate all long-term water advisories on First Nations by March 2021. Since that time, there were 12 longterm advisories in First Nations communities in Manitoba alone.

The three communities that are still under the BWA are Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Shamattawa First Nation and Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation.

Tataskweyak Cree Nation, which has been under an official longer-term boil water advisory since 2017, filed a class-action lawsuit against the federal government in November of last year. On Tuesday, the law-

suit that seeks compensation from the federal government for First Nations under BWA was granted certification.

Tataskweyak Cree Nation Chief Doreen Spence said the certification allows First Nations to seek justice on their claim.

“The Tataskweyak Cree Nation, like all other Canadians, have a right to clean drinking water. I hope that Canadians can understand that this inequality of not having clean drinking water is unacceptable,” she said on Friday.

“Moving forward in this action, we hope that this will be rectified. I believe that this is a form of reconciliation, and I also want to thank the attorney general for granting certification.”

The resolution date for the BWA in Tataskweyak Cree Nation is targeted to be in March 2021. However, Spence does not believe that the federal government will be able to lift the advisory

by that time.

“I don’t think they will reach the deadline. With COVID-19, it has pushed things back a little.”

The community of Tataskweyak Cree Nation often buys bottled water as they do not trust the water in the area. Those who do drink the water often develop skin problems such as rashes, and there are some who have been diagnosed with H. pylori bacteria infection.

Spence said all First Nation communities in Canada have a fundamental right to access clean drinking water like everyone else.

“We matter too like all other Canadians. I really believe that we shouldn’t be having this inequality anymore and to me, it is no longer acceptable to just take what is given.”

Shamattawa First Nation has been under an official longer-term boil water advisory since 2018 while Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation

Isolation no longer required for travel between Churchill and Nunavut MLA Report

People traveling between Nunavut and Churchill, Manitoba, no longer have to isolate for two weeks.

Dr. Michael Patterson, Nunavut’s chief public health officer, announced on Monday, July 13, the latest easing of restrictions in place to keep COVID-19 out of the territory “It’s safe at the moment,” Patterson said. Nunavut remains free of any confirmed cases of COVID-19, and health officials in Churchill are “pretty certain” there’s no cases in that community.

Medical travelers between Churchill and Nunavut haven’t had to isolate since June 22.

The “common travel area,” as Patterson calls it, applies to land, water and air travel. In order to be exempt from the requirement to isolate for 14 days before entering Nunavut, travellers must be going between Churchill and Nunavut or Nunavut and Churchill only.

They can’t have been outside of either Churchill or Nunavut for two weeks before travelling, and they must remain in Nunavut and Churchill for their entire visit.

Both BWA’s targeted resolution date was set to be in June 2020. However, it is reported on the Government of Canada’s website that the advisories are still under construction.

Wuskwi Sipihk First Nation spokesperson told Winnipeg Sun that the construction on a new water treatment plant has been in progress for some time.

Communities that are reported to no longer have boil water advisories in their region are Hollow Water First Nation, Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation, Lake Manitoba First Nation, Pauingassi First Nation, Canupawakpa First Nation and Pinaymootang First Nation.

Grand Beach Provincial Park

Make a Family Discovery in

P R OV I N C I A L PA R KS Nopiming Provincial Park

Exploring Manitoba’s provincial parks has never been more exciting! Discover the stories of Manitoba’s Indigenous peoples laid out in centuries-old stone Petroforms, or retrace the steps of the early settlers at one of our many heritage sites. Soak up the sun on a sandy beach, cast a line for a trophy walleye or northern pike, or sleep under the stars and enjoy a quiet commune with nature.

Come for a day or stay as long as you like. Whatever the season, you’ll find lots to enjoy and a lifetime of memories in our beautiful provincial parks.
