ghetty’s walk took place in Granville Lake back in 2003, when the entire community was evacuated due to unsanitary conditions caused by failed water and sewage systems.

When Bighetty made a quick pit stop in Thompson on July 7, he told the Thompson Citizen that many original Granville Lake residents like himself have been unable to return to their ancestral homelands since the evacuation because of inaction and corruption on part of the local and provincial governments.

“I want to go home but I can’t because the construction of the housing is not there, water and sewer is not there, the facilities they have in Leaf Rapids are not there and I want that in my hometown too,” he said at that time.

Bighetty’s goal was to bring this message to the Manitoba legislature in Winnipeg, in the hopes of garnering more attention from government officials and the public at large.

He and a travelling entourage, comprising friends and family, averaged around 30 km a day walking to the province’s capital, choosing to sleep outdoors pretty much every night.

Thompson Bus will run three buses per week to Winnipeg when limited service starts

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Thompson Bus, the northern-based company that intends to fill the gap left by Greyhound when it stops running buses in Western Canada Oct. 31, plans to begin its limited service period in the two months up to that deadline by offering a similar schedule at similar prices.

A passenger and freight schedule produced by Thompson Bus, which announced its intention to begin offering bus service to and from Thompson in mid-July shortly after Greyhound said that it would stop running all its Western Canadian routes apart from one between Vancouver to Seattle, indicates that the new bus company intends to provide three buses each way per week between Thompson and Winnipeg initially.

Buses to Winnipeg will leave Thompson at 10 p.m.

– the same time as Greyhound’s do – on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

during the limited service period leading up to Halloween, and cost $132.74.

Greyhound’s regular fare for the same route is $130 plus GST, with a web fare of $108 plus GST and a refundable fare of $146 plus GST. Thompson Bus will charge $92.92 from Wabowden, compared to a regular fare of $108.30 plus GST on Greyhound and $127.30 plus GST for a refundable ticket, but very close to the Greyhound web fare of $92.80 plus GST. Thompson Bus will also provide service between Thompson to Gillam five days a week at a cost of $57.52, similar to the Greyhound standard fare of $57.20, but cheaper than its refundable fare of $65.20.

Service between Cross Lake and Thompson will be provided four times a week

by Thompson bus with a fare of $44.25, more than Greyhound’s $37.30 plus GST fare and about the same as its standard $43.30 plus GST. A refundable

In a move that shouldn’t have come as a surprise, Greyhound Canada informed the City of Thompson that it will no longer be providing drivers, storage and maintenance services for Thompson’s transit buses effective Oct. 31, the day it stops running its Western Canadian inter-city bus routes for good.

“As you may know, Greyhound recently announced

that it has made the difficult decision to downsize its Canadian business and in connection with such reductions will end all routes in Manitoba on October 31st, 2018,” said a July 18 letter from Greyhound Canada regional vice-president Peter Hamel. “Accordingly, this serves as Greyhound’s notice to the City that Greyhound is terminating the Agreement effective as of the 31st day of October, 2018 (the “Termination

Thompson Bus has released a schedule and prices for the limited service it plans to begin providing from Thompson to Gillam, Cross Lake and Winnipeg Sept. 1.

Greyhound fare between Cross Lake and Thomson is $50.30 plus GST. Thompson Bus will provide service on 30-seat buses during the limited service period, leaving from the corner of Thompson Drive South and Cree Road with stops en route to Winnipeg at Wabowden, Ponton, Grand Rapids and Ashern, with B1 Sherwin Rd., slightly north of the airport, serving as its Winnipeg depot.

Ontario-based Kasper Transportation also intends to provide bus service between Winnipeg and Thompson after Greyhound stops doing so but has not announced schedule or pricing details yet.

Freight rates on Thompson Bus will range from $10 for an envelope to $45 for a large box, with miscellaneous items under 10 pounds charged $15 and those between 10 and 50 pounds costing $35.

Greyhound notifies city that it is terminating transit services contract Oct. 31

Date”).

The city paid Greyhound $1,364,393 over five years from 2011 through the end of 2015 to provide these services and has been on a month-to-month contract with them since 2016. Some of the operational costs are covered by the province.

The price of the service since 2016 varied because the city paid Greyhound $800 a day for standby buses on days when the two city-owned transit buses were being repaired.

Greyhound was the only company that responded to the city’s bid for contract transit services in 2010, at which time purchasing agent Joyce Koop said that if the city were to operate the transit service itself, it would need storage facilities, four full-time drivers, mechanical support and additional equipment like

a bus hoist.

The City of Thompson began considering what route to take with its transit service when Greyhound announced it was shutting down Western Canada routes in July, assuming, correctly as it turned out, that the company would not be providing contract transit services after Halloween.

“In the past as a general statement we have looked at the cost benefit of operating the transit system as a city enterprise but it’s always been more cost effective to do what we have done and contract the service out,” said Mayor Dennis Fenske in July. “Given the extent of the announcement we will have to again examine our options that would fall between the extremes of no service to continuing to run what we currently have at the cost of the operation.”

Lions Manor 55 residence should be ready for occupancy by spring

Thompson Citizen photo by Kyle Darbyson The Lions Manor 55 senior living complex on Station Road on Aug. 7. Construction on this project started in July 2017 and is set to wrap up sometime in the spring of 2019.

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The housing co-operative Lions Manor 55 has come a long way in developing their senior living complex since they broke ground in the summer of 2017.

Lions Manor 55 vice-chair Penny Byer says construction on this 30-unit, 33,000-square-foot facility has been progressing steadily in the intervening 13 months, with local contractors having completed the roof back in the spring.

“At the last report, the drywall on the second floor was near completion, windows were installed and being covered up for short-term protection,” she said.

However, Lions Manor 55 still has to contend with a number of hurdles before construction on the living centre is completed in the spring of 2019.

One of their more immediate challenges

is attracting local residents to actually buy/ rent these units.

“We really need, now, to push a little harder to get people to make that commitment,” said Byer. “If people want to decide whether they want the north side, south side, corner suite or whatever the case may be … if any of these things are important to them, then they really should be at least making their initial deposit now.”

Byer says that one of their biggest goals for the rest of the year is to rent out 20−25 units by Christmas, though she was unable to provide information regarding how many are spoken for now.

Lions Manor 55 has also been hit by some significant financial speed bumps in the last couple months.

In April, a pair of key investors dropped out of funding the senior living complex, which left them having to fill a $750,000

While they’ve already generated a couple thousand dollars through a radiothon and GoFundMe page, Byer said the board is considering other options to keep the project in good financial shape.

“We’ve applied for another couple of grants and we’ve got a couple of corporate people who are stepping up to the plate,” she said. “We also have a potential new board member with experience in fundraising who is, in all likelihood, going to be joining our board.”

Lions Manor 55 is also running a promotion with Shoppers Drug Mart for the remainder of August, where customers get a chance to write their name on a paper house and put it on the store’s wall after making a donation to the housing co-operative.

“I think it’s wonderful that they are doing this,” said Byer. ”So the little card houses

are at Shoppers now, as well as informational leaflets on the housing.”

Looking forward, Byer told the Thompson Citizen that she is excited to see this affordable housing complex finally come together, and hopes that they will be able to set up a couple display units in the fall.

“I personally can hardly wait until we get to the point where we say,‘Oh my goodness, we’d better do some landscaping now,’” she said. “Once it’s up and ready and people are able to move in, that’ll be awesome.”

The next annual general meeting for Lions Manor 55 is scheduled to take place Sept. 4 at the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre.

Repairs to Hudson Bay Railway could start by September as long as some else pays for them, owner says

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Hudson Bay Railway (HBR) president Sergio Sabatini told the Canadian Transportation Agency Aug. 1 that his company has begun soliciting bids to repair the section of the line between Gillam and Churchill but doesn’t have the money to pay for the repairs itself.

The report to the Canadian Transportation agency (CTA), which ordered HBR to begin repairs by July 3, said that the process began with an inspection of the track June 11 and June 12 by AECOM, which was retained

by HBR to prepare a request for proposals (RFP). The RFP was issued June 28 to six pre-screened contractors with the necessary experience to perform the repairs and four of those contractors sent representatives to a mandatory site visit July 12 and 13. Over the course of July, AECOM responded to technical questions form the contractors, with final answers provided July 31. Bids were due Aug. 3 and AECOM said it was

“confident there will be multiple bids and methodologies to consider. “ HBR says it believes a substantial amount of the work to repair the line can be done this year and the rest by mid-2019. Its goal is to restore limited service sometime this winter and full services after the repairs are complete.

However, the report took pains to spell out HBR’s position that it doesn’t have money to fund the work, which AECOM estimates could start before the first day of September.

“As the agency is aware HBR does not have the financial capability to undertake the full repairs of the damage to the railway caused by the spring 2017 flood,” Sabatini wrote. “HBR and its shareholders have been in discussion with the federal government and a potential buyer with the objective of ensuring that the necessary funds are in place to fully repair the Gillam to Churchill line and resume operations as expeditiously as possible. “

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Steve Green The Hudson Bay Railway says it has plans to begin repairing the rail line between Churchill and Gillam, which has been out of service for more than a year, by the end of this month, but not enough money to pay for them.

Youth job centre wraps up operations as September draws near

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Even though the summer job season is brief, Camryn Turton was never short on things to do while working for the Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC).

As the MYJC’s youth engagement leader for the Thompson region, Turton was tasked with canvassing local institutions like R.D. Parker Collegiate, different elementary schools and the Boys & Girls Club in order to highlight the different kinds of jobs that were available for the summer.

“With Thompson, right now, there’s always the struggle or the concern that people have about Vale shutting down,” she said. “But there’s still plenty of entry-level jobs, or lots of summer student positions.“ Back in the spring of this year, Turton became the latest hire by the MJYC., which has been running a summer jobs program in Thompson since 1976.

Having received her first paid work through MYJC in Grade 8, Turton used her knowledge of the local job scene to help guide these students and facilitate around 20−25 local placements as of mid-August.

“This summer, I worked with a really large variety of employers, ranging from construction to retail to food services,” she said. “And I think working with such a variety of employers gave me a really good opportunity to learn what the employers value and the work ethic they expect.”

After all, Turton isn’t too far removed from her clients in terms of education, having graduated with honours from RDPC back in 2017 and is heading into her second year of studying kinesiology at the University of Manitoba.

Even though this field of study doesn’t closely

overlap with her role at MYJC, Turton said that her pre-existing relationships with Thompson teachers and students definitely helped her overcome that potential hurdle.

“Lots of the people that I was talking to were familiar faces and from their side of it I’m a familiar face too … so I think they felt comfortable coming up and talking to me, asking me questions.”

However, Turton also had to contend with being the only MYJC youth engagement leader working north of Flin Flon, which means that she was forced to cover a lot of ground by herself.

Outside of Thompson, she was also responsible for engaging with youth in Gillam, Ilford, Lynn Lake, Lac Brochet, York Landing, Wabowden, Nelson House, Norway House and Split Lake.

“By covering such a large area of Manitoba, I was always presented with new opportunities that kept my summer interesting, but some of those [tasks] were definitely challenging,” she said.

While Turton isn’t sure if she’s going to take on the same position with MYJC next summer, she did have some parting words of wisdom for prospective student employees who might be self-conscious about their lack of job experience.

On top of advising that these youth start applying for summer employment as early as May-June, she also said that one’s attitude towards the job hunt can make all the difference.

“I would say it’s all about confidence, either through confidence in writing resumes, confidence in the job interview or even your first week [on the job],” she said “As you work more, and as you go through those experiences, you become even more comfortable in the situations, how to handle yourself and every time it becomes better.”

Thompson’s MYJC office will be closing Aug. 16, and is set to open back up in May 2019.

For more information about the MYJC’s services in general, please visit their website.

MAPS office moves to Commercial Place

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

As of Aug. 1, the non-profit organization Men Are Part of the Solution (MAPS) officially set up shop at 117 Commercial Place, the building that used to house Thompson’s Sears outlet store before it shut down.

MAPS program director and therapist Michele NicholSawh says they decided to make this change because their previous location, on the second floor of the CHTM building, posed some accessibility issues for clients.

Even though they still need to purchase some furniture and unpack a few boxes, Nichol-Sawh said they are open for business at this new location.

As stated on their website, MAPS aims to serve as a deterrent to domestic violence in the Thompson area by offering counselling services and transitional housing for men.

Nichol-Sawh added that MAPS will be throwing a more formal introduction to this new office during their next annual general meeting, which is supposed to take place sometime in the fall.

To find out more information on MAPS and their services, please send an email to maps@mymts.net.
