Around 100 people gathered in the middle of the highway just outside Thompson March 28 to sing songs, shed tears and offer prayers for Solomon McDonald, who died there March 22.

Thompson RCMP diverted traffic on Highway 391 around the site where the 41-year-old Nelson House resident was killed six days earlier in what police believe was a hit-and-run.

While the majority of the crowd drove in from Nelson House, this group also included Thompson residents like Mayor Colleen Smook, city councillor Les Ellsworth and elder Jack Robinson.

Once the ceremony wrapped up, attendees took turns placing lit candles and McDonald’s photos next to a large white cross at the side of the road.

RCMP identified McDonald as the man killed a few hours

before the vigil.

“Solomon was a father of 10, with seven children under the age of 12,” said Manitoba RCMP media relations officer Cpl. Julie Courchaine in a press release. “His children, his parents and his spouse are all grieving this tragedy. We believe someone witnessed the vehicle hitting Solomon or may have information about what happened the night of March 22, 2019. We are urging anyone with information to come forward and speak with the RCMP.” The collision that killed McDonald was reported to Thompson RCMP around 1 a.m. March 22. There was no vehicle at the scene when police arrived.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has information about it can call Thompson RCMP at 204-677-691 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800222-8477. Secure tips can also be submitted online at www. manitobacrimestoppers.com.

Two stabbings among 150 calls Thompson RCMP responded to over the weekend CLINIC SPAWNS RUGBY SQUAD SPORTS PAGE 7

A pair of stabbings in the late afternoon and evening March 31 injured three people and led to the arrest of a 23-year-old male.

RCMP were called to the first stabbing around 5 p.m. Sunday, finding a male on the road with a stab wound. He received medical attention and police investigation led to the arrest of the 23-year-old for possessing a weapon dangerous to public peace and for breaching a probation order.

About three hours later, police were called to a stabbing at an Eastwood apartment complex.

RCMP found two males suffering non-life-threatening injuries and are looking for more information to assist the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with information on these or any other crimes can contact the Thompson RCMP or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800222-8477. Tips may also be submitted securely online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com.

Overall, RCMP responded to about 150 calls over the weekend and received 24 missing persons reports. Traffic violations included four tickets for not wearing seatbelts and many warnings for having overly tinted windows. There were also six speeding tickets issued. The highest recorded speed was 35 kilometres per hour over the speed limit, resulting in a $508 fine, and Thompson RCMP say the average speed was 28 kilometres over the speed limit.

“I was working that night when both of those incidents came in, the one on the highway and the one on Duke, so we called in additional resources to help with scene security with investigation and the other calls for service that we were receiving,” Edmonds said. “We maintained a high level of response to all the other calls and there were several other unrelated calls but based on my calculations we called in an extra nine resources, like regular members, to come assist us that night.”

At any given time, he said, there may be anywhere from four to 10 RCMP cars on patrol in Thompson.

One of the officers called out was Special Const. Rob Cleveland, who provided security at the spot where Solomon McDonald was killed on Highway 391, in addition to his local knowledge.

“I actually, myself, I called Rob to assist with the scene security plus assist in, given his local knowledge of persons and community knowledge, we were seeking his assistance in helping identify the involved person there,” said Edmonds. “He’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to people here in the city and who’s who.”

Although the RCMP strives to provide its members with unfettered time off to help them preserve their long-term health and well-being, days like March 22 require some members to be called in.

how proud I was of the professionalism and dedication that they maintained throughout the night. We called in nine people and not one of them hesitated to come in and assist and they helped us out immensely. I was very proud of our members here.”

Growth in certificate, off-site and contract training programs drives University College of the North to highest enrolment count since it was established in 2004

Thompson Citizen file photo The total number of students enrolled in programs at University College of the North’s Thompson campus was up nearly 40 per cent at the end of February compared to a year earlier, though UCN did not say what the actual number was.

University College of the North (UCN) says the number of people registered in its programs as of Feb. 28 was 2,699 students, up from 1,842 in 2018 and the most it has ever been since the institution was founded in 2004.

Enrolment growth has been most significant in

programs at the school’s network of 12 post-secondary access centres around Northern Manitoba and other off-site locations, having grown by 82.7 per cent since last year, and in workplace skills development, which had 746 students at the end of last month, 578 more than the 168 it had on

the same date in 2018, a 344 per cent increase.

“UCN is committed to education Northern Manitobans and preparing them for employment opportunities in the north,” said UCN president and chancellor Doug Lauvstad. “We are very proud that UCN is able to serve ever more

northerners!”

Enrolment also increased in certificate programs, led by the educational assistant certificate program, up 115.2 per cent since last year, and the health care aide certificate programs, which saw the number of students enrolled go up 95.6 per cent.

Overall, certificate programs are up 39.2 per cent from Feb. 28, 2019.

Enrolment went up 39.7 per cent at the Thompson campus and 20.4 per cent at the campus in The Pas. UCN did not provide numbers for these programs apart from the percentages but overall enrolment for the 2017-18 academic year was 2,051 students, so the growth this year has been about 31 per cent overall.

Final 2018-19 enrolment numbers will be released sometime after June.

“Our enrolment growth reflects UCN’s commitment to increase engagement with industry and with northern communities,” said UCN’s

academic and research vice-president Dan Smith.

“Our efforts have paid off with exceptional growth in industry-related and community-delivered programming, and next year we add a focus on increases in degree and diploma program enrolment. Our recruiters and our faculty and our staff have been working very hard to connect northerners with high-quality and accessible education opportunities!”

The last enrolment count on Nov. 30 of last year showed that there were 2,175 students enrolled in all programs, an increase of 641 students or about 42 per cent from the enrolment of 1,534 on Nov. 30, 2017.

At then end of September 2018, there were a total of 1,411 students enrolled, up from 1,239 at the end of September 2017. Enrolment in certificate, diploma and degree programs that are funded and tracked by the provincial government had risen nearly 11 per cent

since the previous year at that time, while continuing education and contract training-programs geared towards supporting industry and individual needs, were up from 123 students in September 2017 to 176 a year later. UCN said at that time that the enrolment count would grow over the course of the year as new programs started and as each term progressed, noting that continuing education and contract training programs generally start low and grow throughout the academic year.

The Northern Workforce Development Centre was established at the Thompson campus last May to offer education and training in response to labour market changes in the region.

The provincial government’s college review recommended last spring that UCN offer more contract training opportunities and also increase graduation rates.

Thompson Citizen file photo Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Blaine Pedersen announced March 28 that Manitoba’s minimum wage will rise 30 cents to $11.65 per hour effective Oct. 1.

Minimum wage in Manitoba will go up 30 cents an hour to $11.65 effective Oct. 1, Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Blaine Pedersen announced March 28.

The adjustment was calculated using Manitoba’s 2018 inflation rate of 2.5 per cent and rounding up to the nearest five cents.

“We are providing predictable and sustainable increases to Manitoba’s minimum wage, which achieves the right balance benefitting both employees and employers,” said Pedersen. “Based on Manitoba’s

Consumer Price Index for 2018, the minimum wage increase will help our economy continue to attract new investment and participation in the workforce.”

Manitoba currently has the ninth-highest minimum wage among Canada’s 13 provinces and territories.

British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island all have higher minimum wages right now, with all of those except P.E.I. (where minimum wage is $11.55) be-

ing $12 per hour or more.

Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland have lower minimum wages than Manitoba, but all are $11 per hour or greater.

The impact the increase in minimum wage will have in Thompson is likely negligible, given that, on March 28, out of 40 local jobs on the federal government’s Job Bank website, only one had an hourly wage of below $12, though it was still above the new minimum wage that will take effect in October.

MKO Acknowledges and Recognizes Brady Keeper of the Pimicikamak Cree Nation on Reaching the NHL On behalf of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) leadership, the Executive Council of Chiefs and our member communities, I extend well wishes and congratulations to Brady Keeper of the Pimicikamak Cree Nation on his signing with the NHL’s Florida Panthers.

It is a momentous and historic occasion that one of our own has been signed to the roster of a NHL team. The historic signing of Brady Keeper signifies a transformational event for all of MKO and in particularly the Pimicikamak Cree Nation community. We hold Brady up as an important leader and role model for our First Nations children and youth of northern Manitoba. But we as MKO citizens and leaders are all extremely proud of Brady’s accomplishments, and recognize the adversity he has overcome to reach the NHL. Through dedication, perseverance and discipline, he has shown our communities what it takes to achieve dreams, goals, and aspirations. Congratulations Brady!

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of the National Hockey League Players’ Association Brady Keeper (right) took part in a ceremonial face-off during the Florida Panthers’ March 28 matchup against the Ottawa Senators in the nation’s capital. Keeper was named the third star of the game.

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Brady Keeper became the first member of Pimicikamak Cree Nation in Northern Manitoba to play in the National Hockey League March 28.

The Florida Panthers’ new rookie defenceman made his debut Thursday night against the Ottawa Senators, recording a single shot and two hits in 12:50 of ice time and earning recognition as the game’s third star.

The Panthers beat the Senators 5−2, but the biggest takeaway for a lot of Northern Manitoba residents was the pageantry surrounding Keeper’s big night.

Not only did the 22-year-old get to take part in a ceremonial face-off that featured members of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, but his family was also present to cheer him on in person.

“It’s a dream come true, obviously,” Keeper told NHL.com. “I’ve got no words to describe, like I said before, how I feel. I’m just happy my

parents and my whole family came down to see me play, same with my girlfriend, my seven-month-old baby and my stepson, as well.”

Keeper ’s journey to the NHL started in Northern Manitoba, where he played a single season for the midget AAA Norman Northstars and put in another four years for the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Opaskwayak Cree Nation Blizzard.

The University of Maine Black Bears eventually picked up the Cross Lake resident for two seasons, where he garnered a total of 13 goals and 31 assists across 73 games for the NCAA team.

Keeper signed a twoyear contract with the Panthers March 18.

Panthers’ coach Bob Boughner said his rookie defenceman performed really well under pressure.

“Everyone remembers their first game and how many nerves you have and how tough it is to focus,” Boughner told NHL.com.

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak

YOU

(MKO) Grand Chief Garrison Settee, who is also a Pimicikamak Cree Nation member, congratulated Keeper on behalf of MKO in a March 29 press release.

“Brady’s accomplishment cannot be underestimated or minimized, because it is truly a feat of historical proportions that will resonate throughout the entire MKO and inspire all Indigenous people across the country for many years to come,” Settee said. “It was a moment we will never forget as Pimicikamak Cree Nation members, and we feel a great deal of pride as our community is now profiled and is widely known in the media as the home of Brady Keeper. Brady, however, represents all Manitoba First Nations and will be an important leader and role model for all First Nations youth in Manitoba as they aspire to accomplish their goals and reach their dreams.”
