population growth and economic development activities including advanced manufacturing and mining for critical minerals. "Electricity is the backbone of our economy and Hydro One provides the power needed to support daily life and attract new growth and investment in communities across the province," said David Lebeter, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hydro One. "This designation acknowledges how Hydro One has prioritized Indigenous partnerships and reconciliation. We thank the government for their support and will continue to work in collaboration with partners to develop and build this critical line." Hydro One was selected as the transmitter responsible for the development of the line after extensive evaluation of its proposal and consultations with Indigenous communities, stakeholders and the public. Hydro One will continue to work with all proximate First Nations who have the opportunity to invest in a 50 per cent equity stake in the transmission line component of the project through Hydro One's 50-50
equity partnership model. "As we move forward with the designation of Hydro One and partners to build the transmission line between Wawa and Timmins, it's not just about infrastructure – it's about strengthening our communities, connecting people, and ensuring a sustainable, reliable future for the north," said Chief Gauthier, Missanabie Cree First Nation. "This project will power progress and create lasting opportunities for all our people." "On behalf of the Chiefs of the Wabun Tribal Council we are so pleased with Ontario's decision to award the transmission line project between Wawa and Timmins to our partnership with Hydro One," said the Wabun Chiefs and Wabun Tribal Council. "This project not only provides value to our communities as owners of infrastructure but increases the transmission capacity in the grid system that is desperately needed. We look forward to working with the ministry and other stakeholders as we plan and build the line over the coming years." The Wabun Chiefs and Wabun Tribal Council are: Chief Cheryl St. Denis, Brunswick House First Nation, Chief Anita Stephens, Chapleau Ojibway First Nation, Chief Murray Ray, Flying Post First Nation, Chief Alex Batisse, Matachewan First Nation, Chief Jennifer Constant, Mattagami First Nation and Jason Batise, Executive Director, Wabun Tribal Council.

OBITUARY Maurice Edward Carson Quinn Passed away peacefully in his 93rd year surrounded by family on Monday May 26th, 2025 at the Chapleau General Hospital. Maurice is survived by his siblings Gordon Becker (Carmen), Cathy Gomm (Jim) and Trudy Hurst. He is predeceased by his mother, Gertrude Margaret Quinn Becker, his siblings Claude Becker, Stanley Becker, Myrna Anderson and his grandparents Eli and Beatrice Quinn and his aunt and uncle Grace and Joe Saylors. The family has many fond memories of their earlier years spending time with Maurice at Grandpa Quinn's in Biscotasing and some reunions in Chapleau and Biscotasing over the years. The family are members of the Temagami First Nation through their grandmother Cecine Whitebear Becker. Maurice was born in Biscotasing, Ontario on November 12, 1931 to his mother Margaret Gertrude Quinn. He stayed with Grandpa Quinn until he was 18 in Bisco then moved to Chapleau where he lived with his aunt Grace and uncle Joe Saylors. He lived around the corner from Kathleen (Kitty/Nanny) and Charles Douglas (Tony) Cachagee who took him in as a border in their home on Cedar Street. He later moved to Fox Lake in the early 90's with Kitty when the reserve was being developed and lived in the first house built at Kitty's Pond. Maurice worked for the MTO his entire life in Chapleau as an operator and foreman. His adopted family accepted Maurice with open arms where he was like a brother to Bill and Doreen Cachagee and uncles to Kyle, Brett and Wade where he played a big role in teaching the boys the ways of the bush, hunting and fishing at the camp on Borden Lake. When Tony passed away, he stayed in the house with Kitty where he was a lifelong companion and played a big part in supporting her in her golden years. Maurice had a great affection for his pets. His cat Timmy lived to 21 and he also had two Golden Retrievers, Wendy (named after Wendy Mezley!) and Bailey. The birds and foxes will miss him. He fed them yearround out his front door. Anybody that spent time with Maurice knew he had a heart of gold. He would do anything for anyone. He owned most vintages of Ford pickups from the 50's-90's. He was also very ingenious when it came to moving large heavy objects like the old camp that he relocated on his own with a bulldozer he got running with Bobby Evans. He also built a new camp on the lot on Borden Lake by himself in 1986. In the early 90's he would return to Bisco for the summer with his dog Wendy, a camper trailer and boat where he spent time with his siblings. Maurice will be forever missed by Doreen, Bill, Kyle, Brett, Wade Cachagee and their families. His stories will last forever in our hearts. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Chapleau General Hospital for their excellent care and compassion during Maurice's stay for two months. Maurice got the small-town hospital treatment that Chapleaulites have come to appreciate. The family will be forever grateful to all the staff who supported Maurice from Chapleau Cree FN from cleaners, snow plowing, dropping off newsletters, the Chapleau Express and for the band sponsored suppers, powwows and gatherings over decades. Fox Lake won't be the same without Maurice. A very special and well deserved thank you goes out to his dear friend Donna Roy. All the support offered including house cleaning, dropping off coffees, partridge and walleye have not gone unnoticed by Maurice's family. There will be a celebration of life later this summer at Fox Lake. Maurice was cremated and his wish was to be placed between Kitty and Tony's graves at the Chapleau Cemetery.

International media descend on Chapleau to cover test of nuclear winter theory as mushroom cloud blacks out sun in August 1985
Moments by Michael J. Morris
Michael J. Morris
If you were living in the United States and reading your Sunday newspaper on August 5, 1985, it is quite likely that on the front page you would have noticed a story datelined Chapleau, Ontario, reporting on the results of a test of the nuclear winter theory conducted near the community the previous day. Writing in the Chicago Tribune before the test, Janet Crawley explained that Canadian and U.S. scientists planned to study a controlled forest fire in northern Ontario to test the newly proposed theory that a catastrophic "nuclear winter" would follow a nuclear war. The observers wanted to study the behavior of the smoke from the blaze, which had been scheduled as part of the province's regular program of burning out dead trees so land can be replanted. Andrew Forester, an environmental scientist and research associate at the University of Toronto, had said the study was believed to be the first such large- scale research into the
possibility of "nuclear winter," a theory proposed in the early 1980s by Cornell University scientist and author Carl Sagan. As a result, national and international media descended upon Chapleau, including reporters from major dailies in the United States and television crews from the big three U.S. networks. And yes, I was there to cover the story for United Press International, an assignment I got through Robert "Bob" Fife who had previously worked for UPI. I had forgotten about the nuclear winter test 25 years ago until I received an email from Dave Way-White suggesting it as a column. So from the mothballs of my own memory and a Google search, here is the story of the weekend when a Chapleau moment became international news. The Orlando Sentinel on August 5 captured the test results: "A giant mushroom cloud blacked out the sun over a Canadian forest Saturday. It cast a dark shadow over the northern Ontario wilderness as far as the eye could see. Cause: A fire set by scientists in a test of the ''nuclear winter'' theory. The experiment began when a helicopter dropped napalm over 2 1/2 square miles of a diseased forest 400 miles north of Detroit. The cloud rose thousands of feet into the air and spread over 80 miles. Theory's prediction: A nuclear war would blow millions of tons of smoke into the air, blocking out the sun and freezing the Earth." The New York Times used an Associated Press story: "The fire was set in 1,600 acres of pines trees bulldozed last year in preparation for the burning. The trees, killed by a spruce budworm infestation, were burned to allow replanting. Thick white smoke billowed thousands of feet into the sky, where a gentle wind blew it directly over Chapleau, a town of 3,500 people about 15 miles southeast of the fire." The New York Times also reported that the test was watched by seven scientists who were testing the ''nuclear winter'' theory. The theory holds that a nuclear war could blast so much smoke and debris into the atmosphere that it would block the sun for months, chilling the earth and resulting in greater death and devastation than the nuclear explosions.` Using UPI story, the Los Angeles Times reported that "It will embody some of the characteristics of the firestorm that will follow a nuclear blast," said Andrew Forester, of the University of Toronto who brought the researchers together. Forester, who directed a Royal Society of
Canada study on Nuclear Winter and Associated Effects, said the scientists would attempt to learn more about the effects of smoke in the atmosphere and how smoke and ash block out sunlight. Forester told UPI that the experiment would be the first test of the nuclear winter theory proposed in 1982 by Cornell University astronomer Carl Sagan and Richard Turco, a consultant with R&D Associates of Marina del Rey, Calif. They suggested a nuclear war would create a blanket of smoke and ash, blocking out the sun and chilling the Earth. Turco was among those planning to observe the experiment. The Los Angeles Times - UPI report went on to explain that in in northern Ontario, "a helicopter was to drop a napalm-like substance on the area near Chapleau, 400 miles north of Detroit, to set fire to thousands of fir trees killed by a budworm infestation that began in the 1960s." Forester added he hoped when the blaze fanned out, it would create a 20,000-foot convection column of smoke, ash and gas to simulate some effects of a nuclear explosion. He described the fire as a "partial representation of one aspect of a nuclear explosion" without the blast or radiation.The helicopter was to carry a "flying drip torch," moving in concentric circles to drop an oil-based substance on pre-selected spots--literally dropping fire on the forest. High in the convection column, scientists expected to see a ring of ash that would filter down, said Brian Stocks of the forest fire research unit at the Canadian government's Great Lakes Forest Research Center in Sault Ste. Marie. Above the ash, scientists expect gases and condensation that could trigger firestorms, Stocks said, according to the Los Angeles Times report. I recall flying over the test area into the mushroom cloud and one of the scientists excitedly proclaimed, "We've got it.” I have always thought it was so cool that Bob Fife, a former student at Chapleau High School and great friend, would be responsible for getting me an assignment as a reporter, particularly on such a major assignment as a test of the nuclear winter theory. When he was a student at CHS, Bob would pepper me with questions on everything -- a certain clue that he was headed for a distinguished career in journalism. Bob is now the Ottawa Bureau Chief of CTV News, and for more than 30 years been one of Canada's best journalists! My email is mj.morris@ live.ca

March – The Full Worm Moon, April – The Full Pink Moon, May – The Full Flower Moon, June – The Full Strawberry Moon, July – The Full Buck Moon, August – The Full Sturgeon Moon, September – The Full Corn or Harvest Moon, October – The Full Hunter's Moon, November – The Full Beaver Moon and December – The Full Cold Moon. There are times when there are two full moons in the same month. One appears on the first or second of the month with the assigned name while the second full moon is seen on the 30th or 31st. This is called the Blue Moon occurring about every thirty months or so. Another term we hear in the news is a Super Moon. Coined by an astrologer back in 1979 it is the combination of the Full Moon and its closest approach to the Earth. The moon has an elliptical orbit with a 50,000 km variance. During a Super Moon, it appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it is farthest from us. The moon is tidally locked to the Earth so we only see one side. So the next time you look at the moon, you are looking at the exact same face as did your ancestors dating back hundreds of years.
Full Moon Names
By Gary Boyle - The Backyard Astronomer The moon is by far the most observed object in the sky. Whether spotted during the day when mostly fully illuminated or gazed upon at night, our natural satellite amazes us. For centuries the moon has been portrayed in works of literature, paintings and songs. There are even ancient artifacts of a flat piece of animal bone with notches etched into it. The cave dweller at the time was recording the ever-changing lunar phases. Because of its 29.5-day rotation around the earth from full phase to the next full phase, we see a slightly different face each night. This is the best time to examine the lunar terrain with a telescope as long shadows drape across the terminator – the dividing line between the lit and unlit side of the moon. When the moon rises in the east at the same time the sun sets in the west, it appears perfectly round and is now 100% illuminated. By the way, the dark band rising in or near the moon is the Earth's shadow. The full moon is the worst time to examine it with a telescope as the moon appears one-dimensional – a circle with smaller circles on it. We do not just call it the full moon. Each month of the calendar year is assigned a name. The most common reference we have heard is the Hunter's Moon in October but there are eleven others. Dating back hundreds of years, some early Native American Dear Chapleau express, tribes only used the four seasons as their calendar, while other tribes Our family is organizing a Memorial Gala in honor of Paul Servent and adopted a 12-month system of full moons reflecting the conditions Mélanie Daigle who tragically lost their lives in a house fire nearly 30 years ago. The of that time of year. The various names given for each month are Gala will take place on November 8th, 2025, in Chapleau, and we were wondering if still found in the Farmer's Almanac. Notice the pattern of seasonal this might be something you would be interested in publishing or sharing. change from month to month: 100% of the donations collected from this event will go toward the Chapleau January – The Full Wolf Moon, February – The Full Snow Moon, volunteer firefighters Association. The tragedy was also covered in the Chapleau express in 1995. We've carried this loss in our hearts for decades, but we also remember the incredible outpouring of love and support we received from the community of Chapleau during a very difficult time in our lives. That compassion carried us through, and we have long searched for a meaningful way to honor Paul and Mélanie s memory while also giving back to the Community that gave us so much. We have been working on this event for almost a year and a half, thoughtfully preparing each detail to ensure that it reflects both our gratitude and our Love for Paul and Mélanie, and the people of Chapleau. This Gala is also especially meaningful for our Children, those who were too young or not yet born when Paul and Mélanie passed. It gives them the opportunity to take part in something that honors and remembers the family members they never had a chance to know, something they didn't get to do thirty years ago. In addition to the Gala, we have also launched two more initiatives to give back to the community of Chapleau, acts of kindness that reflect the same spirit of care and generosity that was extended to us during our time of need. In addition to the gala, we have also purchased over 60 gifts to be distributed by the Early on Center as part of the Angel Tree program, to bring joy to children in need during the 2025 holiday season. We will also be donating a 9-foot Christmas tree to the Bignucolo Residence along with a gift for each resident, materials for recreational activities, prizes for games, and a personalized Christmas ornament fundraiser to support residence's activity department. We would be truly grateful for your support in helping us share the story behind this event and its purpose. It comes from a place of deep loss and heartfelt gratitude. If you're interested in promoting the event, I d be happy to provide any additional information you may need. Should you be interested in learning more, our event has now been officially launched on facebook ( Winter Wonderland Gala) Warm regards Annie Prévost Gilbert

Province Making it Easier for American Doctors and Nurses to Work in Ontario
Government cutting red tape to strengthen Ontario’s health-care workforce The Ontario government is taking significant steps to strengthen its health-care workforce by making it easier for U.S.-licensed nurses and board-certified physicians to move to and practise in Ontario. The change is part of the government’s plan to protect and strengthen Ontario’s health-care system by increasing the number of health-care professionals working in the province. "By cutting the red tape that is delaying highly trained U.S.-licensed doctors and nurses from being able to live and work in Ontario, we are making bold strides to ensure Ontario patients receive timely and accessible care," said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. "These changes build on our government’s historic action to reduce labour mobility barriers for health-care professionals within Canada, and will now make it faster and easier for American physicians and nurses to care for Ontario patients." The change will enable qualified U.S.licensed physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and registered practical nurses to begin working in Ontario health settings
without prior registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario or the College of Nurses of Ontario. These professionals will be able to work for up to six months while seeking registration in Ontario, removing a significant barrier to attracting American health-care workers. A d d i t i o n a l l y, t h e g o v e r n m e n t i s removing restrictions under “As of Right” that limit four professions to practising in public hospitals and long-term care homes. This change applies to physicians and nurses licensed in the U.S., as well as respiratory therapists and medical laboratory technologists who will now be able to practise in a broader range of health settings, including primary care, home and community care and community laboratories. Ontario continues to support locally trained health-care workers, expanding the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant, which provides financial assistance to postsecondary students who commit to working in underserved communities after graduation. The province is also expanding access to care by opening more medical schools, increasing nursing program capacity, and broadening the scope of practice for nurses, enabling nurses to play a greater role in patient care. To q u a l i f y, h e a l t h
professionals must be licensed in their home jurisdiction with no history of misconduct or incompetence, as well as comply with other public protection requirements. Ontario's "As of Right" exemption first came into effect on July 24, 2023, and expedited the process for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and medical laboratory technologists registered in other provinces and territories to immediately start working and caring for Ontarians while seeking registration to practise in Ontario. Allowing U.S.-licensed physicians and nurses to work in Ontario supports the government's work under the Protect Ontario through Free Trade within Canada Act 2025 to remove labour mobility barriers, reduce administrative burdens and simplify the movement of certified workers across Canada. Physicians and nurses from the U.S. will need to go through the standard Canadian immigration/permanent residency/work permit process administered by the federal government. Through Your Health: A Plan for Connected and Convenient Care, the Ontario government continues to take bold and decisive action to grow the province’s highly skilled health-care workforce and ensure people and their families have access to high-quality care closer to home for generations to come.

Cont’d from P.1 The proposed project is a new, 260-kilometre, 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission line, initially energized at 230 kV between Wawa Transformer Station (TS) in Wawa, and Porcupine TS in Timmins. It is expected to be in service by the end of 2030. The designation of this priority project supports the Independent Electricity System Operator's projection that demand for electricity will increase approximately 75 per cent across Ontario by 2050. Once built, the proposed priority transmission line will enhance Ontario's clean energy advantage and continue to position the province as an attractive place to live and invest. "Our government is supporting the incredible growth in Timmins and across Northeastern Ontario by accelerating the development of a new transmission line that will power
new homes, businesses and mines," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Electrification. "Our focus on ensuring access to reliable and affordable energy is key to ensuring business across the north remain competitive, especially as demand for Ontario's responsibly sourced metals and critical minerals grows."

5 tips to spruce up your home this summer BERRY’S FREIGHT SERVICES
(NC) Summer is a perfect time to enjoy the warm weather with family and friends, and it's also an ideal season for home improvements. Whether you’re looking to increase your home's value, make eco-friendly upgrades or simply enhance your living experience, here are a few handy renovation tips to consider. Seal the gaps. Summer heat can drive up energy costs, so focus on making your home more energy efficient to keep it cool and reduce air conditioning costs. Have a maintenance professional inspect all walls for any cracks that need to be sealed to keep water out and avoid major damage. Upgrade insulation and seal any drafts to prevent cool air from escaping and replace any shingles on your roof that are broken or loose to avoid water leaks. Upgrade your living space. If your budget allows, consider updating your kitchen, bathroom or living spaces. These are high-traffic areas that significantly impact your home's value. Even small changes like new cabinet hardware, recessed lighting or a stylish new backsplash can transform a space. Get outdoors. Take advantage of the warm weather by enhancing your outdoor spaces. Start by power-washing your deck or patio to remove dirt and grime. Consider staining or sealing the wood to protect it from the elements and give it a fresh appearance. Adding some comfortable outdoor furniture, colourful cushions and a few potted plants can transform your backyard into a cozy retreat.
Install energy-efficient fixtures. Replace old incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs, which use less energy and have a longer lifespan. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to better manage your cooling system and help save on energy bills. Ceiling fans are also a great addition to keep air circulating and reduce the need for air conditioning. These simple upgrades can lead to significant savings and increased home comfort. Improve indoor air quality. Start by changing the air filters in your HVAC system to ensure better airflow and air quality in your home. Consider adding houseplants, which naturally purify the air and add a touch of greenery to your decor. Plants like spider plants, peace lilies and snake plants are especially good at removing toxins from the air. Don’t forget to turn on the exhaust fan in your kitchen and bathrooms to reduce humidity and prevent mould growth. If you’re thinking of starting some bigger projects this summer, it’s important to let your insurance provider know to ensure your policy remains in effect. There may be additional insurance implications if certain work, like electrical or plumbing, isn’t done by licensed professionals. Additionally, renovations that increase your home’s value may also affect your insurance. Whether the project is big or small, be sure to get a quote for any new coverage. Companies like Belairdirect can provide a quote in minutes and help you along every step of the way.
