Following in his father’s footsteps

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The RCMP made history at a change of command ceremony Jan. 13 when Staff Sgt. Noel Allard signed command of The Pas detachment over to the new commander – his son Staff Sgt. Jeremy Allard.

It was the first time in the modern history of the force that a father passed the reins of a detachment to his son.

“I am honoured to say that The Pas/OCN is getting a younger, more educated and highly respected detachment commander,” said Staff Sgt. Noel Allard.

“But then, I may be biased.

The members of The Pas are fortunate to be under the command of Jeremy, and I feel assured that I am leaving my post in good hands.”

The new commander is very familiar with Northern

Manitoba, having grown up in the region before being stationed in northern Saskatchewan after graduating from RCMP Depot. Staff Sgt. Jeremy Allard first signed up to be a Mountie while living in Cranberry Portage and wrote his entrance exam in The Pas in 2001.

“I’m excited to be home and closer to family,” said Staff Sgt. Jeremy Allard.

“The Pas is known as a

great place to live and work, and I’m looking forward to being part of that.

Taking over from my dad has made this very special for me.”

The Allard family is originally from St. Laurent but have made Northern Manitoba their home for many years. Staff Sgt. Noel Allard will continue to serve in the north in an advisory role at the RCMP North District office in Thompson.

The change of command ceremony was attended

by Assistant Commissioner Kevin Brousseau, the commanding officer of the RCMP in Manitoba, as well as Chief Superintendent Scott Kolody, the officer in charge of criminal operations in Manitoba, and Superintendent Kevin Violot, North District commander, along with Churchill MP Niki Ashton, The Pas Mayor Jim Scott,

Opaskwayak Cree Nation Chief Michael Constant and Manitoba Metis Federation president David Chartrand.

“This is what it is all about,” said Brosseau.

“The RCMP is a family.

The command of The Pas detachment is not the only thing passed from father to son. Pride in serving and pride for the force is also a big part of the Allard family’s commitment to community.”

Fighting the flu on northern reserves

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Nine Manitobans have died from the flu this season, including two residents of Tataskweyak Cree Nation.

Helga Bryant, CEO of the Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA), explains although there have been deaths, flu numbers are actually low. “The feedback we’re getting from the medical officer of health is that the flu numbers are not hugely more than last year.

Our experience in the north is that we’re actually seeing less than usual influenzalike illnesses.”

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) Grand Chief David Harper says communities knew going into the holiday season there was a flu outbreak.

Harper hopes to educate children, teachers, and families on how to prevent the sickness.

Bryant suggests two things for prevention. “It’s not too late to get a flu shot. We really encourage people to seek out that flu shot. Certainly hand washing also. We know the basic practice of cleaning

your hands very regularly through the day is a huge deterrent to the spread of influenza.”

For some First Nation residents, getting a flu shot is out of the question, due to cultural beliefs. “If you don’t believe in flu shots, what we’re saying to do is continue to take your traditional medicine. We were told some of the flu shots didn’t work. That is something we need to reexamine. We need to look at the future and what the plan is for the future days.”

The CBC reported that there were three suspected flu deaths on TCN and that nearly 30 people were airlifted to other communities, including Thompson, for treatment in hospital. Harper told the Nickel Belt News the majority of these were actually medevac transport and that there have only been two deaths.

Bryant says the airlifted numbers in the CBC article were not were not correct.

“Airlifting is usually for critically ill patients. What we do we know about our Thompson [emergency room], a report on Jan. 9 to me said that there was a

couple of days with higher visits. A little bit of noticed increases in admissions but actually it was quite normal for January. There was really no noted increase in influenza-like illnesses.”

Bryant attributes the lower numbers in the north to residents being more sparsely populated.

“We still like to ensure that we keep our numbers low.” But Harper says on reserves overcrowding is the reason for higher flu cases. “There are a lot of factors. One of them is overcrowding is still an issue. Our children still live in overcrowded homes. We are still battling that, and it requires a lot of attention. In terms of physicians being present in our communities, there have been a lot of situations where doctors need to make themselves available for other communities.”

School and community events are continuing to be cancelled on some First Nations as a precaution. “A lot of the schools are shut down for the flu season. We have noticed the schools’ attendance is very low, but things are starting to come

back to normal.”

Harper will be meeting with Health Canada in the next month and plans to ask for more medical staff on reserves along with more equipment. “What’s going to happen is in the next month or so we’re going to be meeting in Thompson.

With this meeting it has to include Health Canada and the NRHA, and First Nation leadership. This is where we will discuss regional issues. Let us have a saying on the well-being of our people, and the services.”

Bryant says the NRHA is working with partners to make sure First Nations have better medical service.

“We are working constantly with our other partners like MKO and First Nation Inuit Health Branch, which is part of Health Canada, which is in charge of health care services on First Nation communities. They’re beginning to partner much more actively. Together we can aid in increasing the primary care access on First Nation reserve communities rather than serving as two separate entities.”

Harper wants First Nations to have an action

plan with the doctors. “The problem is none of the First Nation reserves have a say were these doctors go, or what the priorities should be. It’s normally the Northern Medical Unit or even Health Canada.”

Bryant says the flu season should be finished by spring. “It is dependent on the weather. This is the heavy season, from November to February or March. Once it gets a little nicer, it typically stops.”

Mine rescue … it is as much a part of our northern culture as mining itself. In fact, the two go hand in hand. As long as there have been workers who toil in the depths, there have been mining brethren who come to their aid when, or if, things go south.

The Snow Lake Mining Museum has what is thought to be the most complete and encompassing collection of mine rescue equipment in any museum in Manitoba – possibly Canada – and why not? Our mines and their rescue teams have been at the forefront of the annual mine rescue competition many times since it was first held in 1961. In the 53 years that the competition has been held, Snow Lake mines have won it eight times (five Hudbay wins and three by New Britannia) and between Flin Flon, Leaf Rapids, and Snow Lake, Hudbay itself has taken the competition’s top prize on 21 occasions – more than any other mining company in the province.

Under Provincial Mining Regulations, every operating underground mine is

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Marc Jackson required to have a mine rescue team. Mine rescue in Manitoba is defined by The Operation of Mines Regulation 212/2011 5.4 (1), (2) & (3) and is the direct responsibility of each operating or developing mine.

The Manitoba Mine Rescue Training Manual states that, “Mine rescue is a practical science whereby trained personnel, wearing protective breathing apparatus enter a mine during or after a mine fire, explosion, or other disaster to rescue trapped workers, extinguish the fire and restore the mine to its original safe condition.

Mine rescue training puts the mine operation in a state of ‘awareness’. The mine is alerted to the possibility of an emergency occurring at any time. This awareness encourages the

mine personnel to utilize safe and proper working procedures that will often prevent emergency situations from occurring. The mine has a competent and knowledgeable work force able to take the proper action to prevent emergency situations from worsening and endangering lives.

It is also equipped with specially trained personnel who can act during the emergency to carry out rescue and recovery operations.

When a disaster occurs there are generally several factors contributing to the cause or to the severity, therefore, awareness has to be directed to the various causes.”

As for the history of mine rescue In Manitoba: in 1933, Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company Limited (HBM&S), in Flin Flon, was the first

mining company in the province to have suitable mine rescue equipment and 10 certified mine rescue personnel. For many years this was the only company to have what can be referred to as a mine rescue station, although other mines had a limited supply of Type ‘N’ gas masks. It was not until 1948 that HBM&S added to their equipment inventory, upgrading their station to the standard of a Central Mine Rescue Station.

Howe Sound Exploration Company Ltd. In Snow Lake followed with a fully equipped station in 1949. The mine rescue station at Snow Lake was taken over by HBM&S after that gold mining operation was closed in 1958. As of the spring of 2007, all mine rescue stations in Manitoba have been equipped with the Draeger BG 4 Closed Circuit Breathing Apparatus.

Within a mine rescue competition itself, over a period of two days, teams are tested on their ability to deal with equipment problems, their firefighting skill, first aid aptitude,
