Crown adequately consulted First Nation affected by government settlement with a separate aboriginal community, court rules

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The provincial government did not shirk its responsibility to meaningfully and adequately consult with Pimicikamak Cree Nation and the Cross Lake Band of Indians regarding a settlement between the Crown, Manitoba Hydro and the Incorporated Community Council of Cross Lake, Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench Chief Justice

Glenn Joyal ruled June 21.

Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band had applied to the court for a judicial review of the Crown’s decision to enter into the Cross Lake Community Settlement Agreement with the Northern Affairs community of Cross Lake, which, while made up almost exclusively of aboriginal persons, considers itself a separate community from the Cross Lake

band that is recognized under the Indian Act, and Pimicikamak, a First Nation that includes but is not limited to the Cross Lake band.

The consultation that the court had been asked to review took place between the province and Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band between 2007 and 2009 following a nine-year negotiation between the Crown and the community of Cross Lake with regard to settling lawsuits filed by the community (along with the Norway House community council, against the province and Manitoba Hydro in 1992, that were related to allegations of adverse effects of hydroelectric development.

Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band contended that the agreement between

the province, Manitoba Hydro and the community of Cross Lake, which included articles providing land to the community and extending the community boundaries, includes lands of extreme cultural importance to Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band. The Cross Lake band and Pimicikamak also say that the two-year consultation with the Crown ended without their concerns having been resolved.

Manitoba’s position was that the consultation process was conducted before the final settlement agreement became official and that its duty of consultation requires it to reasonably address or accommodate issues or concerns but that it did not change the settlement agreement based on Pimicikamak and the Cross

Lake bands suggestions because it did not consider them reasonable.

Joyal said that the consultation did not sat art too late, in his view.

“I agree with Manitoba that it was reasonable to start the consultation process when it did,” he wrote in his decision. “By starting the consultations when it did, Manitoba knew what the proposed decisions were and that the decisions themselves were not made or final.”

With regard to whether the consultation with Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band was significant or meaningful, Joyal noted that four in-person meetings were held in Winnipeg and another in Cross Lake, in addition to further consultation via letters, phone calls and emails, and that the province made efforts to deal with various representatives from the First Nation during an election dispute when it wasn’t clear exactly who was representing Pimicikamak and the Cross Lake band.

“Manitoba insists, and I

agree, that it communicated reasonably and as best it could with a single community that had ‘multiple and split personalities,’ giving different directions to Manitoba, which directions represented or led to the taking of unreasonable positions.”

On the fi nal question of whether the province had ruled out accommodation from the beginning of the consultation, Joyal said whether a refusal to adopt and accommodate a suggestion was reasonable or not depends on the reasonableness of the suggestion.

“It is my view that the specifi c concerns raised were neither reasonable nor realistic in the context of the specific consultations required in relation to the settlement of two court actions involving third parties,” wrote Joyal. “In coming to the decision it did, Manitoba was grappling with the difficult challenge of balancing the applicants’ concerns and the Community of Cross Lake’s legitimate interests, wishes and desires.”

PESTICIDE CONTROL PROGRAM Public Notice FREE registration

Tolko Industries Ltd intends to undertake a pesticide application program as part of its Forest Management Annual Harvest and Renewal Plan. This is an annual occurrence.

As a follow up to renewal activities such as treeplanting, the application of the herbicide VIsionmax (glyphosate) is used to control hardwood and broadleaf shrubs to allow for the re-establishment of boreal softwood forest stands. One of our obligations is to ensure that harvested softwood dominated forest stands re-establish as softwood dominated stands. Maintaining previous forest conditions provides for the sustainability of plant and wildlife species in the Forest Management Licence Area. Portions of some plantations near the following locations will have herbicide activities take place:

Shamattawa woman returns from granddaughter’s graduation to find her house burned down

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

What was supposed to a time of celebration turned out badly for Victoria Redhead of Shamattawa, whose house burned down on June 24 while she was out of the community attending her granddaughter’s graduation in Gladstone.

“Our home and one of our warehouses burned down and we lost everything that we had and worked for for the past 37 years,” Redhead told the Nickel Belt News.

Redhead and her husband shared the house with their two sons and three grandchildren and are now staying with her sister because they have no other place to stay.

RCMP received the call in the early hours of June 24, at 3:00am. Redhead herself learned of the fi re by a phone call, and says her neighbour witnessed it.

“He was waiting for a fi re truck and a water truck,” she said, but they never came. “That would have saved at least

one building. Apparently we don’t have a fi re chief or nay firefi ghters in place that were able to save my home and my possessions.”

Redhead says the house was boarded up and padlocked while she was away and that everything was unplugged. A fire investigator was due to arrive to inspect the scene June 30.

She said she was telling her story in hopes that similar fires could be prevented in the future.

“I believe it would have been prevented if the money that was given to the community was properly used for what it was intended for,” Redhead says. “The band council should have been spending the money to hire a fi re chief and to properly train local firefi ghters. Others have had this same situation and I hope this problem will be resolved and prevented from happening to someone else. We have lost lives and many houses in the past from fire.”

Teamwork and partnership with all Manitobans.

Having wrapped up the fi rst seven-week sitting of our first legislative session, our new government is well on its way to making Manitoba the most improved province in Canada.

Our Throne Speech on May 16 made clear our Progressive Conservative government’s vision for beginning to deliver a stronger economy, better services and a brighter future for all Manitobans. The speech laid out initiatives for, in part, improving education

and health care, rediscovering economic innovation and restoring responsible fiscal management.

Our Budget 2016, introduced on May 31, takes strong steps to move our province back toward fiscal balance. Our new government has reduced the core defi cit by $122 million while avoiding tax increases and relieving the burden on families by indexing income tax brackets to the rate of inflation. The budget has also reduced

MLA Report kelly.bindle@leg.gov.mb.ca Kelly Bindle ambulance fees and boosted infrastructure spending.

Strengthening Manitoba’s economy, our government is joining the New West Partnership to

increase trade with Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. We have also laid out our vision for economic development in the north. Our YES!

North strategy is to bring more people from around the world to see what the Thompson area and the rest of northern Manitoba have to offer.

Earlier this week, I too had an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the richness of our northern indigenous culture. I was invited by St. John the Baptist Church at Tataskweyak Cree Nation to see the Keeyask dam construction site up close on Monday, as part of a seven-day northern justice

and reconciliation tour that also involved Anglican and Lutheran churches. I want to thank the Tataskweyak church leaders and elders for taking me with them, and for sharing their stories.

The hospitality the church leaders extended to me is in step with our government’s vision for teamwork and partnership with all Manitobans. This is all part of us making Manitoba better together.

Kelly Bindle, MLA for the constituency of Thompson

decades ago.

In the interests of exploring “all things British,” I will try everything from “spotted dick” to “toad in the hole,” as unappetizing as they might sound. Even Marmite is on the agenda – even though some call it “tractor grease.” And don’t worry Jennifer, we will stuff our luggage with a few containers of Marmite. Be warned though that if we spot a farmer whose tractor has broken down between the airport and South Shore, we will come to his rescue. I am sure you will agree that

if Marmite is good enough to eat – then it must be good too for keeping one’s wheels turning around.

Dan McSweeney, a Halifax native, first worked as a reporter at the old Halifax Herald, then got a taste of public relations work at Canadian National Railway in Moncton, before coming to Thompson in 1980 to work for Inco.

Acquired tastes

BY DANIEL MCSWEENEY Sometimes it takes courage to try new kinds of foods. I remember a brave young Rotary exchange student from the Philippines who dined with us in the mid-1980s for Thanksgiving dinner in Thompson, Manitoba. Sitting around our table with family and friends, he boldly took his first bite of pumpkin pie.

His reaction was not good.

He scrunched up his face in gastronomical pain.

To us, pumpkin pie is delicious, a part of traditional North American dining fare.

To Eric he was forking into a mush of strange “orange stuff” that made him want to catch the next plane back home. He had, though, promised his father in Cebu city he would eat whatever was placed in front of him by his Canadian host families. I am sure, too, his dad had counselled him that life is fi lled with foods that are just unfamiliar to you. “Be brave son,” he probably told Eric. “You just might learn to like it.”

And then he might have added with reassuring wisdom: “It’s an acquired taste.”

I certainly empathized with Eric. In 1969 when I was a student at Carleton University in Ottawa, I tucked into what looked like the most succulent cafeteria steak ever served. To my great disappointment, it turned out to be liver. My Saturday night steak expectations were cruelly dashed. I hated the taste. Liver to me is something I will always consider

Daniel McSweeney to be an acquired taste.

And to be honest – it is an acquired taste I refuse to acquire!

And then there is dulse, a red seaweed first harvested

by Irish monks 1,400 years ago. I never tried dulse until I got married and Sandra encouraged me muster up courage to eat what I would normally avoid stepping into on the beach. She extolled its dietary virtues and made me believe it would help me live to a ripe old age.

It does indeed offer health benefi ts. It’s exceptionally high in mineral and protein.

And it has 34 times more potassium than a banana.

At first I displayed the same sort of “yuch – where’s the bucket” look Eric had and then I slowly began to enjoy its rather unorthodox taste.

TRACTOR GREASE? Living in the United King-

dom, we are discovering a few “acquired taste” foods.

One of the most intriguing is British Marmite or its Australian version Vegemite. Our daughter in Winnipeg loves the stuff. After reading about Marmite, we are not yet rushing out to Sainsbury’s to stock in a year’s supply.

It’s basically a “yeast sludge” byproduct of brewing beer.

(Is your mouth watering yet?)

Its manufacturer adds salt, vegetable extract, a few other proprietary ingredients and you end up with a thick, dark brown substance ideal for spreading on biscuits or toast. The manufacturer’s’ slogan is brutally honest: “You either love it or hate it.” In fact, Marmite is a metaphor for the polarizing of opinions in British society.

We have not yet tried Mar-

mite or Vegemite. We have, however, tucked into a snack with Marmite connections.

They are called Twiglets.

They look like twigs I gather up from our front lawn in Nova Scotia after a windy nor’easter. These twigs, though, are wheat-based snacks coated with Marmite.

I have to admit we are quickly developing an an acquired taste for this British snack, a favourite of British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Even Mr. Bean loves them. In a famous TV sketch, he runs out of Twiglets at a New Year’s Eve Party. Instead of trotting over to Tescos, he gathers up real twigs and coats them with Marmite. Very innovative. Very unappetizing. I doubt Eric would approve.

I asked Sandra how she would describe acquired taste foods. She replied that the list is probably rather long for fussy eaters. I put olives, dulse, Marmite, Vegemite, liver and even pumpkin pie into this category. Some foods I will never eat. I have admittedly developed a fondness for dulse – but certainly not liver.

I have no idea if Philippines Eric has ever sampled pumpkin pie again.

He probably just shakes his head wondering how those crazy Canadians can eat such rubbish. Or he just might be a popular prime time television chef showing off his pumpkin pie, a delicacy learned about in Canada more than three

The Thompson Playhouse is preparing for it’s next round of performances, and they’re looking for your help: Auditions will be taking place on July 11 and 13 for the playhouse’s 2016 fall production, a comedy

by Canadian playwright Norm Foster. The auditions will take place on both evenings from 6:30

pm to 7:30 pm at the Quality Inn and Suites, 45 Moak Crescent.

While producers have not determined the number of individuals that will be required to produce the play as of yet, playhouse president and director Donna Wilson notes that they are seeking both male and female roles. More to the point, Wilson stresses that prospective performance re-

quire no prior acting experience: Performing with the playhouse is meant to be a fun, relaxing experience. “We’ve had lots of different people, people that want to get out and be somebody else for one night of the week,� she said.

While performing is meant to be a fun experience, it does come with its commitments: Performers are expected to have

learned their lines by the time that auditions begin in September, after labour day weekend, while rehearsals will run every Monday evening thereafter. Performers must, of course, be comfortable on a stage in front of an audience.

North West Company rewards deserving northern students Ninety students in 40 communities across Canada’s North received Northern/NorthMart Student Achievement Awards from the North West Company, including Aidan Crate of Norway House, who received a $1,000 scholarship toward post-secondary education costs.

The North West Company has been recognizing students’ academic, athletic and community involvement achievements for more than 10 years. “We believe that education is the best way to create individual opportunity which is why we support many scholarship and bursary programs, as well as present our own awards,� said company sales and operations vice-president Christine Reimer in a June 30 press release. “We often suggest the schools use this award to call attention to students who may not otherwise receive

recognition. It can have a positive impact on these students and reinforces the importance of education to the youth in our communities.�

Store managers provide schools with nomination forms for the awards and schools provide the names of two graduating students worth of recognition. In addition to the money, award recipients receive a framed certiďŹ cate and a gift card.

On Tuesday, July 5, Pimicikamak Cree Nation in conjunction with federal authorities announced that the nation will be receiving $40 million to construct a new hospital in the community. The hospital, for which construction is expected to begin in 2017, will replace what has been described as a woefully inadequate nursing station, currently servicing a resident population of 5, 858.

Communities comparable in size, including Flin Flon, The Pas, and nearby Norway House First Nation, are serviced by doctor-staffed hospitals with full suites of emergency and essential services.

Announcing the funding was Federal Health Minister Jane Philpott and Pimicikamak Chief Cathy Merrick, joined by representatives from Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, the government of Manitoba, ChurchillKeewatinook Aski MP Niki Ashton, and MKO Grand Chief Shield North Wilson, among others.

The hospital will include facilities such as a birth ward and a renal dialysis unit, providing easy access to long-term care while retaining critical social support networks otherwise left behind. Expectant mothers currently must leave their communities for two weeks prior to their expectant date, without funding available

For patients on dialysis, the prolonged and regular treatment may require a considerably longer exile.

The announcement comes in the broader context of an epidemic of suicides faced by the community, and the state of emergency declared in March earlier this year and remains in effect to this day.

Along with the $40 million contribution for hospital construction, Philpott announced the creation of six community-based mental wellness teams across the next three years, including dedicated First Nations crisis response teams, funded through Health Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is a big day for our nation, declared Pimicikamak vice-chief Shirley Robinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost too many people due to the lack of health services in our nation.â&#x20AC;?

The Boreal Discovery Center hosted elementary school field trips for Mystery Lake and DFSM students in the last weeks of June, providing students with the opportunity to explore their local ecosystem. Students took samples from the boreal center swamp to learn about the microcosm of insects and larvae that lived among the water and grasses, as well as helped with feeding the deer and learning about Lake Sturgeon, thirteen of which are currently being raised at the BDC. Some students had partaken in a butterfly development project, where they had observed the life cycle of butterflies from the larval stage, through pupation, until emergence; Participating students released their butterflies at the BDC on their field trip.

The Boreal Discovery Center will be hosting Boreal Discovery Camps throughout July and August: To learn more, email caringspaceslearningplaces@gmail.com or borealdc@gmail.com, or call (204)-677-5919.
