Manitoba government presents Fox Lake remediation plan to Lynn Lake

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Engineers and representatives from the province’s mineral resources department met with residents of Lynn Lake and Marcel Colomb First Nation Nov. 9 to update them on the remediation of the former Fox Lake mine site. The site’s environmental management and restoration are a joint effort between the provincial government, responsible for the milland-mine site, and Calgary-based Viridian Inc. and Arcadis NV, responsible for tailings and water treatment.

Representing the project were mineral resources director Chris Beaumont-Smith, Amec Foster Wheeler senior environmental engineer Michell Bertram, and Karen Mathers, senior project manager with Stantec. Also present were representatives from the Town of Lynn Lake, Marcel Colomb First Nation and the Marcel Colomb Development Corporation.

Summer field investigations between May and October 2015 closed data gaps in the draft closure plan, with a detailed plan expected to be completed at the end of February

2016. Investigations included snow surveys, vegetation surveys, and groundwater studies, along with an enhanced aquatics study at the request of the Marcel Colomb band council, assessing aquatic life at the site-treated water’s release point into a nearby lake and providing a baseline for adjustments and action as necessary.

Currently, there is a rough plan to contain part of the minesite with a combination of wet and dry covers, as explained

by Beaumont-Smith: “Wet cover is a method of covering the mine’s tailings in water which forms tailing ponds, and prevents sulphur minerals from oxidizing by interacting with oxygen. Where it is not feasible to locate tailings under water, a dry cover is used to keep water from the sulphur minerals to prevent the production of sulphuric acid.”

As of yet, the province cannot speak to an estimated cost for the project: “The cost of the project will largely depend on the contractors involved,” says Beaumont-Smith. “Once the design of the project is complete, we will compare it with the tender documents and have a better estimate on the budget needed for the cleanup project.” The provincial gov-

ernment budgeted $18 million when Viridian first presented the cleanup project to the province in 2012; however, this has been described by the province as a “maximum cost.”

The project is to be tendered by May 2016, and construction is slated to begin next fall.

The abandoned mine’s risk to public health have been a continuing concern for the town of Lynn Lake. While Mayor James Lindsay did not comment on health concerns raised by residents in the past, he does state the municipality will keep a keen eye on the project. “The Fox Mine site is outside our municipality. We have a limited say in any decision that is made in regards to this site and the associated remediation project. That being said, it is located in an area where numerous local residents have cabins. This area is also within the legislatively established economic interest zone of neighbouring Marcel Colomb First Nation.

From those perspectives, the Town of Lynn Lake anticipates further involvement in discussions of this project including any subsequent benefits it may bring to both residents and business interests in the community.”

Three Northern Manitoba elementary schools are among eight in the province receiving a $250 grant from the Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Manitoba branch for a Drop the Pop Challenge during National Diabetes Awareness Month.

Duke of Marlborough School in Churchill, Joe A. Ross School in Opaskwayak Cree Nation and Peter Yassie Memorial School in Tadoule Lake were selected with five other schools from 25 applicants to receive the grant.

Recipients were chosen based on concrete plans of how they would promote health to their students.

Some are using the money to buy milk and fresh fruit to makes smoothies for students, who are challenged by school staff to not drink pop or other sugary drinks for a week.

Along with the grant, the schools are also provided with Drop the Pop lesson plans and handouts.

“We are continuing to spread the word to children that it’s important to take care of your kidneys,” said the kidney foundation’s Manitoba executive director Val

Dunphy in a news release. “One way of doing this is to limit your sugar intake. As November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, this is a perfect time to get students thinking about nutrition and the connection between diabetes and kidney health. We are grateful for all of the school staff members who are committed to sharing healthy living messages with their students.”

Diabetes and high blood pressure are two of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease, which is incurable.

People in the end stages of chronic kidney disease need dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.

“There is a high rate of obesity and diabetes among our community,” said Vick Slay, principal of Peter Yassie Memorial School. “This grant would better the lives and increase the knowledge of healthy choices to our younger generation.

The Drop the Pop Challenges is part of the kidney foundation’s Our Children, Their Health, Our Future curriculum and is supported by funding fro CN Rail.

My Take on Snow lake Dinner and the theatre … it’s not often you get to do either in Snow Lake, let alone both in combination!

However, on the evening of Friday, Nov. 13, those lucky enough to purchase one of a limited number of tickets were treated to some truly frontier fare and some top notch entertainment while they enjoyed it. Thanks to the Aurora Borealis Arts Council and the Snow Lake Motor Inn, the venue was fitting, the menu was delectable, and the show was outstanding!

The tables in the motor inn’s beverage room were set for 50 guests and it wasn’t long after folks were seated that the covers came off the serving platters and the aroma of fried pickerel permeated the bar.

Plates were piled high with the fish, pan fried potatoes, beans, and bannock; then served to each table by bar staff. If that initial helping wasn’t enough, the motor inn’s Gerard Lamontagne urged patrons to enjoy seconds.

Once dishes were cleared away and as folks settled in to enjoy an after dinner beverage, local actress Brooke Davies, in the role of Kate Rice, walked to the stage and captured collective attention.

Kathleen “Kate” Rice was born in 1883 at St. Marys, Ontario. Schooled there, she graduated from the University of Toronto in 1906, with a bachelor of mathematics degree. She taught school in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Alberta before trading her books for a pickaxe and paddle and taking on the unlikely trade of a prospector during Northern Manitoba’s gold rush.

Aided by local First Nations, she travelled by dog team and canoe through Manitoba and Saskatch-

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Marc Jackson ewan; ultimately 800 kilometres north of The Pas to Reindeer Lake, she discovered zinc and vanadium in 1914. After moving to the Wekusko Lake area, she staked gold claims along strike with the Rex, Kiski, and Bingo gold mines. In the early 1920s, she formed a partnership with Richard “Dick” Woosey staking one of the first nickel properties in Manitoba … the one that lured Inco (now Vale) to the province.

Dressed for the bush, in apparel that would have impressed the lady she portrayed, Davies’ voice was strong, clear, and true. She told the audience of her highbrow beginnings and her yearning for a simpler, yet more significant, life.

A life that took her from a university education in Toronto to a schoolhouse in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and finally to a small cabin; her island home on Wekusko Lake. After setting the narrative, the actress perched on a stool and recounted her wondrous trek. It took the form of journal entries and as a one-person show, told the story of our “Lady of the Lake’s” journey, hardships and successes over the span of a half-century.

Davies is not only trained in drama, she has taught it during a lengthy career that belies her young age. Although not originally from the community, she proved a worthy and true Snow Laker on this night, and the thunderous applause

the Classifieds

You never know what you’ll find inside

she received following her performance cemented that fate.

Following Davies to the stage was local actress Annette Lamontagne in the role of another area pioneer – Sophie May Ryan, the Diamond Queen.

Sophie May Ryan was born in London, England,

Dec. 26, 1876. A beautiful girl, with a lovely singing voice, she performed on London stages in her teens and in the mid-1890s, her troupe went on a tour of South Africa; into the heart of the diamond fields. It is said that the miners there loved her, and to show their appreciation, tossed rough diamonds on stage.

She became known as “the Diamond Queen,” a nickname that stayed with her throughout life. Upon her return to England she married; however, when her husband died, she moved to Canada, ending up in Le Pas in 1911. In 1915, she

formed an agreement with Gilbert Lacroix, a blacksmith, with The Pas Lumber Company. This association was to last for more than 30 years and take Ryan and Lacroix to Herb Lake where they opened a roadhouse on the Hudson Bay Railway at Mile 82.

Lamontagne dressed the part; her blond locks, red feathered bustier, and dancin’ shoes were indicative of the times and the trade, while her cockney flavoured accent lent particular credence to the fine performance she put forth on this night. Lamontagne played the part with a playful flair

and a bawdy temperament.

She coxed boisterous laughter and nodding agreement from this grateful audience, and although applause was sprinkled throughout the performance, she near had a curtain call at its conclusion.

When the show ended, she remained in character, visited throughout the venue and posed for pictures with several who came dressed for the era.

This dinner theatre was a first for the sponsoring groups; with the quality menu and first-class local entertainment put forth, one can only hope it is followed by many more.

Nutrition North subsidy savings will be included on Northern and North Mart receipts

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Shoppers at Northern and North Mart stores will now see the subsidized portion of items eligible under the Nutrition North Canada (NNC) subsidy program on their receipts, says the North West Company, which operates the northern retailers.

Changes to the NNC program require participating stores to proved this information no later

than April 2016.

“Making this change to our receipts was a priority with our information systems, because we know that it helps our customers and their confidence in knowing that they have received the full subsidy on all purchases,” said the North West Company’s sales and operations vice-president Christine Reimer in a Nov. 24 press release. “We have

#WhoWillYouHelp

shown the price drop for nutritious food items on our shelf labels from day one, and now customers will be able to see it by item and in total on their receipts.”

The North West Company says 1,600 subsidized items at its stores in 67 communities dropped in price by an average of 8.9 per cent from April 2011 to May 2015, even though the cost to purchase food has increased

over the same period.

The company says when inflation in perishable foods is accounted for, prices of these items are 19 per cent lower than they would otherwise have been. Purchases of NNC-subsidized products are up an average of 26 per cent, including a 37 per cent sales increase for dairy products, a 24 per cent rise in the sales of produce and 22 per cent more meat sales.

Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada announced April 1 that registered retailers serving NNC-eligible communities must provide profit margin information to the department’s independent auditors, implementing one of five recommendations made in a report by Canada’s auditor general last November.

The NNC, which has an annual budget of $60 million, served 103 communities in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Yukon, northern Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as of June 2014.

NNC-eligible communities in Manitoba include Berens River, Bloodvein, Gods Lake Narrows, Gods River, Garden Hill, Lac Brochet, Little Grand Rapids, Poplar River, Oxford House, Pauingassi, Red Sucker Lake, Shamattawa and Waasagomach. Some NNC

communities receive full subsidies of as much as $16 per kilogram, while others receive partial subsidies of as little as five cents per kilogram.

The federal government said that the cost of the Revised Northern Food Basket – a selection of 67 food items that meets most nutrient requirements and food serving recommendations in the Canada Food Guide for a family including a man and woman aged 31 to 50 and a boy and a girl between 9 and 13 years old – decreased by an average of 7.2 per cent or about $137 per month from April 2011 to March 2014 while Statistics Canada says food prices in the country overall increased 5.5 per cent over the same period.

However, the auditor general’s report on the program concluded that AANDC had not ensured that northern retailers participating in NNC were passing on the full subsidy to consumers because it did not require information on profit margins in its contribution agreements or compliance reviews of the retailers.

The auditor general also recommended that AANDC should review its eligibility criteria so that it is based on need and that the department should improve NNC’s performance measure-

ment and cost containment strategies to ensure the program is meeting its goals as efficiently as possible.

“Nutrition North subsidies and the Northern and North Mart freight savings passed through to consumers continue to outweigh inflationary costs incurred for products, fuel, utilities, travel, staffing and other operating costs,” stated Reimer. “North West has four years of experience with the NNC program and we’ve carefully tracked its successes and where we see room for improvement.

We are encouraged by the federal government’s previously stated plan to increase investment in the NNC program by $40 million and we look forward to more details on the NNC commitments made by the new Liberal government. We believe program funding must keep pace with food inflation and population growth and must include all remote communities that are currently not subsidized or receive only nominal subsidies.”

The North West Company operates stores in Canada, Alaska, the South Pacific and Caribbean. Its Northern and North Mart stores employ over 3,100 people, including many indigenous people, and have an annual payroll of more than $65 million.

North West Company launches foundation to promote education, nutrition and active lifestyle to youth

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The North West Company, which operates the Northern Store, North Mart, Giant Tiger and other retailers, announced Nov. 10 that it is creating a non-profit organization to provide funding to programs promoting education, nutrition and active lifestyles to youth.

The organization is called Healthy Horizons and will support communities and organizations that are registered charities or qualified recipients as defined by the Income Tax Act of Canada.

“North West currently raises or directly contributes over $1million annually toward a range of important community-based initiatives,” said North West Company president and CEO Edward Kennedy in a news release. “Healthy Horizons is an exciting

step forward that builds on our knowledge and network within the communities we serve to make an even greater impact on youth. Our approach will be very collaborative, reflecting community-based priorities and helping bring local, regional and national organizations to the table. As an example we plan to continue to work closely with the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA), as we have for the past 15 years.”

Health Horizons will initially focus on northern Canadian communities where Northern and North Mart stores operate. The North West Company will pay all of the organization’s administration and fundraising costs so that 100 per cent of money raised goes into programming.

“As an example, one of our fundraising and active living events will

be sending running teams of employees and community members to marathon events as we did in the past with CDA,” said Kennedy.

“The difference is that North West will pay for all of the travel and accommodation costs, making this event more attractive to participants and their donors.”

Communities and organizations that are not registered charities or qualified recipients can contact Healthy Horizons for assistance in becoming qualified recipients by email at healthyhorizonsfoundation@northwest.ca.

The North West Company operates stores in Canada, Alaska, the South Pacific and Caribbean. Its Northern and North Mart stores employ over 3,100 people, including many indigenous people, and have an annual payroll of more than $65 million.

Notice of Environment Act Proposal Conservation and Water Stewardship has received a proposal pursuant to The Environment Act regarding the following operation and invites public participation in the review process:

UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA – CHURCHILL MARINE OBSERVATORY - FILE: 5803.00 A proposal has been ¿led by KGS Group on behalf of the University of Manitoba, Centre for Earth Observation Science for the construction and operation of an experimental facility to study the impacts of oil, lique¿ed natural gas and other contaminants on the arctic marine environment. The facility would be constructed in the Town of Churchill between the port and Cape Merry, and would be enclosed within a 1.2 hectare fenced compound. The facility would include two water tanks for simultaneous contaminated and control experiments, with a combined storage capacity of 500 cubic metres. The tanks would be covered by a removable roof which could be retracted during experiments. Seawater and freshwater for the experiments would be obtained from the Churchill River Estuary, and water contaminated in the experiments would be treated to remove contaminants and then discharged back to the estuary. Intake and discharge pipelines between the facility and the estuary would be enclosed in a utilidor system.

Removed contaminants would be disposed of at an existing soil treatment facility. The experimental facility would include laboratory and storage space adjacent to the tanks. A dock and boat ramp on the estuary west of the facility would allow river access for the facility.

Construction of the facility is proposed for the summer of 2016, with operation beginning in 2017.

Anyone likely to be affected by the above operation and who wishes to make a representation either for or against the proposal should contact the Department, in writing or by E-mail (bruce.webb@gov. mb.ca), not later than DECEMBER 28, 2015 Further information is available from the Public Registries located at: Legislative Library, 200 Vaughan St., Winnipeg; Millennium Public Library, 4th Floor, 251 Donald St., Winnipeg; Online Registry: http.//www. gov.mb.ca/conservation/eal/registries/index.html or by contacting Bruce Webb, Environmental Engineer at 204-945-7021.

The Norway House North Stars are now second in the Norman Minor Hockey Association midget AA league standings, one point behind the Thompson King Miners, after back-toback victories over the Cross Lake Islanders 2 and Cranberry Portage Winterhawks Nov. 20 and Nov. 22.

Ronald Muskego and Matthew Robertson each had hat tricks for the North Stars in a 12-6 win at home against the Islanders Nov. 20, while Marshall Mowatt had a pair of goals and Clin-

ton Apetagon, Kashtin Ducharme, William McGregor and Blake Saunders had singles. Norway House goaltender Lanny Balfour made 43 saves for the win, while Caige Halcrow allowed three goals on four shots in five minutes in the Norway House net, with Peter Ross stopping 21 of 30 shots in the other 55 minutes. Goal scorers for the Islanders were not available on the league website.

Two days later, Roman Muminawatum and Hunter York had two goals apiece for the North Stars and Michael Clarke, Mowatt and Robertson each added one as

Norway House downed the Winterhawks 7-5 at home. Wade Richardson had three goals for Cranberry Portage with Trevor Head and Mitchell Reid scoring the others.

Liam Hutchings stopped 44 shots to get the win for Norway House while Brodie Bear stopped the same number of shots in the Winterhawks’ net.

Cross Lake 2 was also in action Nov. 21 at home, losing 8-7 to the Winterhawks. Richardson scored five times for Cranberry Portage, while Reid added a pair and Reagan Castel had a single in the Winterhawks’ first win of the

season. John Colomb stopped 43 shots in the Cranberry Portage net.

Clinton Armstrong and Dennis Scatch each had hat tricks for the Islanders and Braydon Whiskey recorded Cross Lake 2’s other goal. Ross made 41 saves in the loss.

Thompson is 5-1-2 and in first place with 12 points, while the 5-4-1 North Stars are second with 11 points. The Cross Lake Islanders 1 are third with 10 points, five ahead of Cross Lake 2, which has a 2-5-1 record. The Pas Huskies are 2-1 for four points and the Winterhawks are 1-6 with two points so far.

Storm rampages Northern Manitoba competition in KJHL

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The OCN Storm ran roughshod over the Norway House North Stars and the Cross Lake Islanders in Keystone Junior Hockey League action Nov. 18-22, outscoring the North Stars by double digits at home mid-week and then beating their Northern Manitoba rivals handily in their own arenas on the weekend.

Trevor Scribe was the only Norway House player to beat Storm goaltender Anthony Fontaine Nov. 18, scoring on a power play with 5:46 to play to spoil the OCN netminder’s shutout bid in an 11-1 game. The Storm scored twice in the opening frame, five times in the second period and four times in the third for the win, which saw them fire more shots in the second period than the North Stars had in the game, while the final shot tally was 80-26 for OCN. Justice Genialle, Brody Personius, Aavory Wilkie and Lodie Ipeelie had two goals apiece for OCN, with Nathan Gardner, Jared McGillvary and Tyrel Buechert each notching one. Julien Kirkness made 48 saves on 55 shots in 40 minute before being replaced in the Norway House net by Jarred Gore, who stopped 21 of 25 shots in the third period.

The rematch three nights later in Norway House didn’t go any better for the North Stars, though they

trailed by only a goal going into the third period, when the Storm exploded for eight unanswered goals and a 14-5 win. Corbin Tait and Carson Mowatt had first period goals for the North Stars, who trailed 3-2 at the first intermission. Conley Spence tied it early in the second and Gregory Paupanekis scored back-to-back goals, one shorthanded and the other at even strength, less than two minutes apart in the late stages of the middle frame after three straight OCN goals had made it a 6-3 contest.

Shots were 59-34 for the Storm, who were led by Wilkie and Ipeelie with three goals each and Genialle with a pair.

The Storm delivered a third straight pounding Nov. 22 in Cross Lake, outscoring the Islanders 4-1 in the third period for an 8-2 win. Braedan Boschman scored in the first period for Cross Lake, tying the game 1-1 before OCN took a 3-1 lead before the first intermission.

Austin Ross had a shorthanded goal with 2:36 to play in the third and his team trailing by seven. Shots were 61-47 for OCN. The Islanders remain third in the KJHL’s North Division with a 7-6 record, while the North Stars still have just a single win and 15 losses to sit fifth in the same division. The Storm are 11-3 for second place in the north.

Information submitted in response to this proposal is considered public information and will be made available to the proponent and placed on the public registry established in accordance with Section 17 of The Environment Act.
