The Thompson planning district board and Thompson city council approved second reading of a trio of bylaw amendments that will make residential development north of the Burntwood River possible Oct. 28. The first amendment was to the planning district development plan, redesignating three parcels of land – one on the west side of Highway 391 to the south of the horse stable road, another to the north of the stable road and a third on the east side of the highway between the cemetery and the golf course – from “future development” to “residential neighbourhood.” This change allowed council, during their meeting that followed, to approve second reading of a pair of bylaw amendments rezoning the parcel on the east side of the highway from “urban hold” to “rural residential” and the parcel north of the stable road to “rural - large lot” from “urban hold.” During a public hearing prior to the planning district meeting, several users of the cross-country ski trails north of the Burntwood River, which lie in the parcel of land west of the highway but south of the stable road, voiced objections to that land being redesignated as “residential neighbourhood” because they fear that could eventually lead to the trail being demolished for housing lots. “Is there anyway that this chunk of land … is there any way that while we’re rezoning this could just be rezoned recreational and then we never have to worry again about it being taken?” asked Bonnie Sousa. Provincial government Municipal Relations community planner Bret Mack said that piece of land isn’t currently being rezoned.
“It’s being redesignated. It’s not being rezoned. That means no additional uses can be brought into that zone currently. Nothing will change within that area because of this redesignation. The major change that would ever happen is when a rezoning would take place and that’s not, as far as I know, even an issue or a forethought at this point in time.” City manager Anthony McInnis said that the land the ski trails sits on could be rezoned recreational to protect it if a request was brought forth to the development review committee. Former councillor Penny Byer told the planning district that the idea of creating residential lots north of the river has been around since the 1980s and that the steps needed to make that possible need to be taken urgently. “Thompson has been lacking for decades in providing this kind of housing opportunity and I think we have to get with the program and move forward on this so I absolutely support this and I hope that we’re able to move forward a little faster on this,” she said. During the council meeting, when second reading was given to the bylaw amendments rezoning the two parcels of land further north, councillors Jeff Fountain, Duncan Wong, Brian Lundmark, Andre Proulx, Les Ellsworth, deputy mayor Kathy Valentino and Mayor Colleen Smook all said that they weren’t in favour of any development on the land where the trails are. Mack said earlier that the reason it was included in the development plan redesignation was to make it possible to allow development on the land to the south of the stable road in the future without seeking the provincial government’s approval, which can take six months to a year to obtain.

Six RCMP officers from the Thompson, Nelson House, and The Pas detachments took part in basic wilderness survival training hosted by the Canadian Ranger Gillam Patrol Oct. 25-27. Rangers checked on them a few times a day, providing tips to improve their campsites. “The biggest challenge that the candidates faced this weekend was the weather,” said Canadian Ranger Gillam Patrol commander Sgt. Darren Walker in a press release. “This fall type of area is a cool, wet, damp environment so just making sure they have shelter and fire are the biggest factors. We all
know you can go a couple of days without food, but for the amount of time they are out there hyperthermia can set in if they just sit in their sleeping bag and have rain and snow fall on them.” Thompson RCMP member and participant Sgt. Glenn Stuckless said the training is important for Northern Manitoba RCMP officers, who travel on winter roads and to remote locations in pairs quite often.
“If they get stranded somewhere these are the skills they are going to need,” he said, adding that networking with Canadian Ranger members in the area was also valuable. “These are the Canadian Rangers that will respond when we call for assistance with local ground search and rescues. They have a wealth of knowledge and it is great to be able to learn from them. It is really neat for the RCMP members to show up and
Thompson RCMP Drug Tip Line
learn the fundamental survival skills such as starting a fire, how to build a basic shelter, survive without food, and find a water source. A lot of members that come up to northern detachments might not have these skills so it is a great learning experience for them and I am hoping to continue to do this type of training with Canadian Rangers and get RCMP officers from across the province to take part.”

Summer camp introduces northern teens to medical techniques and knowledge Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) youth aged 13 to 17 got to dissect pig hearts, learn to use a stethoscope, take part in an intubation simulation and play games related to the periodic table during a Biomedical Youth Program northern camp this summer. Organized by the University of Manitoba’s Rady Faculty of Health Science and its Office of Community Engagement, which have sent medical students north for such events since 2014, the camp was run by University of Manitoba student volunteers. “I learned a lot about the community,” said second-year medical student volunteer Andrea Soriano in an article on the University of Manitoba website. “I’ve never been up north and I had not been on a reserve before. I learned a lot about how things work on the reserve and the great sense of community.” She also said she saw some students with po-
tential to enter the medical field. “We told them, ‘You have good hands. We see a future for you in health care.’ So they were really happy about that. They were smiling and they seemed really encouraged to hear that.” The camp was the second for second-year medical student Francis Diaz. “I felt that after this experience, my passion for Indigenous issues grew more because you see these kids and you hear about their stories. They’re amazing kids, but the systems around them are just preventing them from succeeding and reaching their potential. So just getting these youth involved in the activities they will start to see that maybe science is for me, or maybe medicine is for me. It just plants that seed in the back of their mind.” Office of Community Engagement colead Karen Cook said the camp, which ran for four-and-a-half hours
Opaskwayak Cree Nation youth aged 13 to 17 took part in the University of Manitoba’s Biomedical Youth Program camp this summer.
each day from July 2325, gave the university student volunteers a chance to shadow health-care professionals in the community and to understand what life is like in places without occupational therapists, physical therapists or even doctors. “It is definitely a learning experience for our students,” she said.
