Remembrance Day signiﬁcance reinforced by recent events BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Remembrance Day ceremony at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena Nov. 11 took on an added poignancy in light of the recent killings of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Quebec on Oct. 22 and Oct. 20 respectively, events that many of the speakers made mention of. “On Oct. 22, 2014 we had no idea that our country was about to be shaken by the violence that occurred on Parliament Hill, the heart of our nation’s capital,” said Barbara Ellis, past president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #244. “Just two days prior Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died in a terror attack in Quebec. These tragedies that befell us just a short while ago remind us of the importance of the military, police, fire and security and emergency service personnel to defend and protect Canadians on our own soil as well as those who can’t defend or protect themselves abroad. As a Legion branch it is our duty to honour not only our veterans but those who are asked to stand and defend our country today.” Churchill MP Niki Ashton, who was in Parliament in Ottawa when the killing of Cirillo occurred, said these recent tragedies were on her and many other people’s minds. “For me, having experienced a bit of what happened in Ottawa and at our

Parliament, I think and I know all of us have in our hearts Cpl. Cirillo’s family and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent’s family as well, who did nothing more than to stand for our country as they do every day,” she said. “We thank them for that sacrifice. What we are here to remember is how to build a better future for our communities and our country. It’s important today that we also remember the aboriginal veterans who came from so many communities across Northern Manitoba. Many had showed great courage and came back to some difficult experiences here at home. Today we think of and we thank those that put their lives on the line to build a more peaceful world for all of us.” Thompson MLA Steve Ashton noted how many Canadians had served in the military and the tremendous loss of life that war has exacted. “Today we gather again to pay respects to more than 1.5 million Canadians who served this country in uniform,” he said. “We pay particular tribute to the 118,000 Canadians who made the ultimate sacrifice. And this year, in 2014, we’re reminded this is not just a part of our history, it’s a part of our reality today.” Deputy mayor Penny Byer urged those in attendance to appreciate the sacrifices made on their behalf. “It is our moral obliga-

Nesbitt Arena Nov. 11. tionDas Canadians to treat all veterans with respect and allow them the dignity they so well deserve,” Byer said. “But most importantly, it is our moral obligation to make sure those men and women have not died in vain and have not served in vain. It is our moral obligation to make

sure we do not abuse the privileges we enjoy as Canadians and take for granted the freedom.” Prayers from Father Guna Sekhar, co-pastor of St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church and elder Jack Robinson combined remembrance with hope for a more peaceful future.

“We come together today to remember in faith all who have served and continue serving in our armed forces, especially those who have died and those wounded in battle,” said Sekhar. “We also pray for healing and peace, that one day all peoples may lay down their arms and

embrace one another as brothers and sister in one human family.” “We are here today, Creator, to remember thousands of men and women who have died in the wars,” said Robinson. “We pray today, O creator, that some day all nations will come to peace, and live in peace.”

The annual Christian Centre fall supper was held on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 18 and this edition held some distinction; a celebration of the 40 years that the Christian Centre has been a part of the community of Snow Lake. In keeping with the past 37 years that such a supper has been held, the 38th was also outstanding. It offered up an excellent meal and some great entertainment to the 200 or so people in attendance. Not only do attendees at the event enjoy a great meal of turkey, trimmings and pumpkin pie, but there is also some terriﬁc entertainment. All provided through the talent of locals Tony Butt and Denis Yates, in addition to the ﬁne folks from the Christian Centre’s sister church from Newton, Manitoba. They have been coming up to take part in this supper and providing entertainment for 31 years now. Getting the evening underway, Val Foord welcomed attendees and brought a number of items to the group’s collective attention. Included in this were the seasonal and 40th anniversary decorations around the hall, which were the result of the creative talents of Sophia Moritz and Velma Yates. Foord further advised that the proceeds from the supper would go in part to the grads and to others who would be announced at a later date. She also noted that $1,500 from last year‚Äôs supper went to the Dari-Lynn Miller fund. At this point Ms. Foord revealed that in celebration of the church‚Äôs 40 years the original minister, Ken Neufeld, and wife Caroleen were in attendance, as was former minister John and wife Anita

Klassen who served in Snow Lake from 1982-88. Prior to the supper, there were further introductions of folks in the crowd such as the Klassen‚Äôs daughter Krissy and her husband John as well as former residents Don Schick and Joe and Linda Kryschuk. As in past years, tables were called to line up for supper and the gent in charge of this task once again came up with inventive ways of picking the order in which people ate. This year the theme was conveniently 1974 (40 years ago). The answers were “flowing” fast and furiously, so people had to be quick. Nevertheless, the meal was quickly underway, and as in past years, it was nothing short of fantastic! Once dinner dishes were cleared away, Mayor Kim Stephen spoke to the crowd. She was at ease and prepared ‚Äì like she‚Äôd been at it for years. Yates and Butt performed two fine tunes and there was some outstanding music and laughs provided by the folks from Newton; they proved once again why the fall supper always delivers. The event showcases some exceptional voices, as well as a collective and priceless sense of humour. This year being a special one, Val Foord asked the Neufelds to speak and as they did, a slide show from their years in Snow Lake helped everyone to reminisce and reflect on the church‚Äôs history and their own. Prior to the evening ending, the voices of Newton sang out in two more selections, before everyone who was so inclined was invited back for the annual church services the following morning and a longer edition of the slideshow later Sunday evening.

Remembrance Day important today MLA Report ashton@mts.net Steve Ashton Every year on Nov. 11, we pause in a moment of silence to honour and

remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Can-

ada during times of war, conﬂict and peace. We remember the more than 1.5 million Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacriﬁce. This year we were again reminded of the importance of this service historically. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War.

It also marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day and many major events in the Second World War. This year we also saw the degree to which the armed forces are there in times of peace as they once again came to our assistance during major ﬂooding in Manitoba. Nothing hit home about the meaning of Remembrance Day more than the

senseless murder of two Canadian soldiers, here on Canadian soil. Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Ofﬁcer Patrice Vincent. They died in service of our country. In 2014 we’re reminded that Remembrance Day is not just a part of our history, it’s a part of our reality today. We must never forget the sacriﬁce of so many men and women throughout our

history. We must never forget our veterans. We must never forget those in service today and their families. We must never forget we owe our democracy and quality of life to them. We must never cease to work to ensure that their ultimate legacy is lasting peace. Lest we forget.

Remembrance Day 2014 MP Report Ashton.N@parl.gc.ca Niki Ashton Communities throughout our riding commemorated Remembrance Day earlier this week. Each year we honour the ultimate sacriﬁce of the tens of thousands of Canadians who fought bravely

in many conﬂicts over the years. We pay tribute to their remarkable courage and commitment. We are reminded that without them we would not enjoy the freedom that we have today

The tragic events of the last few weeks have reminded us all of just how much we rely on the service of so many Canadian men and women. We mourn the senseless killing of Warrant Ofﬁcer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo. It is also important we remember to support our veterans and our veterans organizations. We must honour the memory of our brave soldiers. We must continue to ﬁght for a more peaceful world. Lest we forget.

Dangerous Waterway Zone Construction of the Keeyask Generating Station is underway near Gull Rapids on the Nelson River. This can cause speed and depth of water in the area to change very quickly and may also result in an increased risk to public safety. Watch for signs, buoys and booms marking the dangerous waterway zone and avoid the area at all times during construction. Be alert, don’t get hurt.

Family gathering Life can be lonely but it was never intended to be that way. For many isolation and being disconnected from others is a daily experience. For some it is a choice, for others it is the byproduct of the circumstances of their life. Regardless of the reasoning, it is often negative in its consequences. God right from the very beginning recognized that we need others in our lives. As creation unfolded in Genesis 1 & 2 we see God pronouncing everything

good. It isn’t until only man is created that we hear God say that something is not good. Genesis 2:18, “The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” We were built with a need for relationship! The writer of Ecclesiastes further expresses this need in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: (10) If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (11) Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? (12) Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” For many of us here, Thompson is not where we are from. We have come here for work or other reasons. It isn’t where our extended family is so we automatically are missing a natural relationship structure in our lives which can lead to loneliness or isolation. So, other than our

Spiritual Thoughts pastordan@thompsonpentecostal.com

Pastor Dan Murphy family, what was another relationship or community that God has established for the health and well-being? I believe the answer to that is the Church! The church is simply the family of God coming together. As I have been sharing with my congregation, as individuals we are Christians, but together we are the Church. We were never meant to remain isolated or separate from each other, but come together for fellowship and relationship. These are foundational needs in everyone’s life including those of the child of God. Just as many of us long for the times when we have a chance to go home and spend time together with our extended families, so it is in the life of the Christian. We should long for the time when we can

go to our Father’s house and spend time together with the family. King David said it in Psalms 122:1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” Perhaps, you feel alone here in Thompson. I want you to know that you do not have to remain that way. God has established His family here and wants you to be part of it. All of us are adopted into His family. Why not join in and attend a family gathering this week? You can check out when His family gets together in this paper. I know that family gatherings are always better when more show up. Pastor Dan Murphy is the pastor of Thompson Pentecostal Assembly on Goldeye Crescent.

Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos Indian Band near Osoyoos, B.C., close to the U.S. border, offers a variation on a well-known real estate slogan when he identiﬁes the important issues he wants to talk about with people who want to form a relationship with his First Nation. “I always tell them, ‘I’ve got three words for you: jobs, jobs, jobs,’” says Louie, who was in Thompson Oct. 23 as the keynote speaker for the Thompson Chamber of Commerce’s Northern Business Week. “I think the premier of Alberta said the best social program’s a job. Kids, I don’t care non-native or native, they shouldn’t be growing up in a household where nobody works. Kids should be growing up in a household where at least one parent works.” Louie, a 10-term chief of the Osoyoos Indian Band and winner of every election but one since ﬁrst being elected chief at the age of 24 in the mid-80s,

says his First Nation’s claim to fame is the success it’s had creating and operating its own businesses. “I like creating jobs,” he says. “That’s what I like doing. I like focusing on job development, job creation. Like any town or city or any band, you’ve got to have an economy or else you have a ghost town. If you want people to stay and you want the schools, and the hospitals and everything else that goes with that, you need a decent standard of living. Your living comes from your wage from your job. That’s why I focus on jobs.” The Osoyoos Indian Band didn’t transform into an economic success that employs 700 First Nations and non-First Nations employees in a variety of enterprises, including a winery, overnight. “Our ﬁrst economic development, it was as a land lease, it was 1963,” Louie says. “It was a piece of land that the people at the time, I was only three

years old, they decided to lease that land out for a golf course to non-natives for a 49-year lease. Our ﬁrst band-owned business was in 1968 and it was a vineyard. It’s rare a First Nation has economic development on their lands going back to the ‘60s.” Louie says he prefers hanging around business people rather than politicians, noting that the things First Nations and politicians talk about – like treaty and land claims issues – aren’t going to be solved as soon as he would like. “Those things are 100-year-old issues and they’ll probably be going on for another 100 years,” says Louie, a recipient of the Order of British Columbia and a two-term chair of the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board. “I want to create jobs and have people and families have a decent income now, not wait for treaty issues to be settled or land claims issues or the ongoing Continued on Page 7

No 100 per cent solution Continued from Page 6 issues between the provinces and First Nations or the federal government and First Nations.” He also says that ensuring First Nations people have good employment opportunities is important not only to First Nation leaders but to everyone in communities like Thompson with a high percentage of aboriginal people and to everyone in Canada. “Are a signiﬁcant proportion of those First Nations people on welfare? ” he says, referring to Thompson’s aboriginal population. “Most cities and towns I go to the native population is usually not doing very well. The youngest and fastest-growing population in Canada, especially on the prairies, are First Nations people. That’s a huge social economic cost if the majority of the future workforce is growing up on welfare. You can see who lives in the poorer sections of town or which group of people are

walking the streets and look like they’re unemployed or not doing very well. It’s probably the native people. That should be a concern to citizens in Thompson. It’s probably been that way for a long time.” Prior to his speech at the October Chamber of Commerce event, Louie said his message included restoring the relationships between First Nations and the government to its original state. “I don’t know how many native people there will be in the audience but my message is the original treaty relationship was a business relationship not a dependency relationship,” he said. “We’ve got to bet back to the business relationship.” And while the Osoyoos Indian Band isn’t a perfect First Nation, Louie says there’s no sense in striving for perfection. “We still have a 10 per cent crowd or so that are caught in that welfare cycle or they have difﬁ-

culty holding jobs,” said Louie. “There’s no 100 per cent solution. If you can help solve 50 or 60 per cent of the problem, don’t look for the 100 per cent solution. There is no such thing as a 100 per cent solution in anything but that still doesn’t mean that if you can employ half the people, that if you can get 50 per cent of the people employed that’s better than what you’re at now when 20 per cent of the people are employed, for example.” The important thing for First Nation economic development is to ﬁnd a niche within the economy that exists in the area, which some First Nations are better positioned to take advantage of than others. “Location is a big factor but there’s other First Nations that have good location but they don’t make economic development their priority or get involved in the business development,” he says. “Where I come from people say, ‘How’d you

NOW RENTING

get involved in wineries and grapes? ’ Well, that’s the economy of the south Okanagan. There’s a lot of golf courses in the Okanagan, that’s why we own a golf course as well, You participate in the economy that’s in your region. I know some of these bands way up north they have the opportunity of being involved in the mining industry. A lot of bands across the prairies are involved in oil and gas and mining and forestry and making millions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs. It creates a couple of thousand jobs and the spinoff from that creates another thousand that spin off that. There’s always spinoff beneﬁts to any natural resource development. Thompson’s kind of the hub of a lot of the remote areas. I’m sure a lot of the bands’ people come here to shop. If they had decent jobs they’d be spending more money here. Every little service in this town beneﬁts from that income that the people get.”

We continue to work at the generating station but we do not have free access to either enter or exist the station.” In a press release dated Nov. 5, Pimicikamak chief Cathy Merrick said a memorandum of agreement (MOA) has been signed. The agreement has received signatures by representatives from Manitoba Hydro, the

Manitoba government, and Pimicikamak. Merrick says because of the MOA the protesters have hope. “We look forward to turning the commitments into major on-the-ground change. That is what our people need.” Pimicikamak wants a public apology by Premier Greg Selinger for the past and present damages Manitoba Hydro has caused for people and land, Merrick says.

tion of the Northern ﬂood agreement can put our nation on a path to increasing social and economic independence.” Koop says Manitoba Hydro wants operations to go back to normal, but does not know when that will happen. “We don’t know at this time when those locks will be removed. It looks like that will happen once we have a formal agreement on the process going forward for discussing the issues raised by PCN.” Nickel Belt News tried to reach Selinger about visiting Cross Lake, but the call has not been returned.
