Roger Toews of Fur Harvesters, which sells fur on behalf of trappers to world buyers at markets in Ontario, concurred, saying that the marten he’d been seeing was fairly high quality, given the weather.

“The marten is the number one fur up north here by far,” said Toews, who can’t remember how many years he’s been coming to the event. “All the other stuff is like nickel, dime and penny in terms of its value to the trappers. I’ve been quite impressed with the quality of the marten for

Thompson Regional Airport Authority (TRAA) president and CEO Curtis Ross said at the Dec. 12 Thompson Chamber of Commerce meeting that construction of a new airport, and its accompanying water treatment plant, could begin by the summer of 2019.

“The water treatment plant is definitely going to hit the ground by July,” he said. “We could be driving piles for the new terminal building if a [funding application] comes back positive.

We’re shovel-ready, so we could be driving those piles at the same time in July, August. In a perfect world, I’d like to have foundation and concrete work done before it snows next year.”

The TRAA’s next big obstacle will be coming early in the New Year, since they have to submit an application for $70 million in federal funding by Jan. 11.

“We have just applied for the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund,” said Ross. “It’s for entities that are key points of infrastructure that … have been impacted by climate change or by anything that can impact their business.”

While there is plenty of competition for this money, including bids from Toronto and Edmonton, Ross said the TRAA has an advantage

since their infrastructure has been noticeably compromised due to environmental factors like permafrost.

“Our existing building, if you go down and see it, is sinking by the day,” he said.

“In fact, we’ve been monitoring it and it’s been sinking quicker now this year than it ever has before.”

Ross spent the rest of his address talking about the new retail and commercial business opportunities that will pop up once this project is completed.

Though space is limited, any local business or franchise that is looking to expand in Thompson can apply for a spot in the new terminal by submitting a form that outlines theirs wants and needs.

“At the end of the day, what we’ve done is build a combination of retail and commercial space that will offset the aviation operational costs, so it’s a combined effort to try and say, ‘OK, this is going to be a nice facility.’”

While Ross will retire as head of the TRAA in December 2019, he intends to remain with the organization in some capacity until this project is finally wrapped up.

Gillam, Nelson House and Churchill added to Thompson electoral division for 2020 provincial election

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Electoral boundaries will change for the 2020 provincial election now that the Electoral Division Boundaries Commission has submitted its final report to the lieutenant-governor and to the speaker of the Manitoba legislature.

Fifty-six of the 57 electoral division in Manitoba were changed by the commission, including all of the ridings in Northern Manitoba.

Churchill, Gillam, Nelson House and communities along the Hudson Bay Railway in the province’s northeast were taken away from the Keewatinook riding and added to the Thompson electoral division, while Cross Lake and Norway House were added to the Flin Flon division. The commission had earlier proposed combining the current Flin Flon and The Pas electoral divisions and creating a new division called Kameesak out of much of the Swan River division and the Interlake area. Instead, that part of the Interlake has been added to The Pas riding, which will be renamed The Pas-Kameesak.

The Keewatinook electoral division, the largest in Manitoba, which previously stretched from the Manitoba-Nunavut boundary down to the southern shores of Lake Winnipeg, has been reduced by about seven per cent, the commision said in its final report. The northern electoral divisions now have 10 to 14 communities apiece.

“Under the new boundaries, the four electoral divisions in the north have better balanced populations, are more similar in size and respect travel patterns as well as communities of interest,” said the commission’s final report, which

will come into effect for the next general provincial election but not for any byelections between now and 2020.

As a result of the adjustments, the Flin Flon electoral division, which was previously 30 per cent below the established population quiotient (obtained by dividing the 2016 census population by the 57 electoral divisions), is now about 0.1 to five per cent above the quotient. The new Thompson riding should be no more than five per cent below the population quotient, while The Pas-Kameesak and Keewatinook should both be between five and 10 per cent below the quotient.

Commission chair Manitoba Chief Justice Richard Chartier said during a public meeting in Thompson in September that while Manitoba’s legislation allows population in each division north of the 53rd parallel to range from 16,827 to 28,034 – 25 per cent above or below the quotient of 22,427, the Supreme Court has also said that, as long as effective representation is maintained, parity must be the primary consideration when reapportioning districts, to ensure that each person’s vote carries about the same weight. Currently, he said, a Flin Flon voter has about one-and-a-half times the influence of one from The Pas. The commision held 13 public hearings around the province and received over 200 submissions regarding their proposed changes.

“To maintain public confidence in the electoral division redistribution process, public consultation is vital,” said Chartier in a press release. “The public’s submissions greatly assisted us in making the final determinations of the boundaries.”

Occupants of second Our Home Kikinaw house evicted for not making mortgage payments Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation, which owns the building, asking city to forgive unpaid property taxes and water bills

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Occupants of the second house that Our Home Kikinaw built on Juniper Drive – construction of which took about five years – were evicted in August and the Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation, which owns the home, is asking the City of Thompson to waive unpaid property taxes and water bills that it has been stuck with.

Modelled on Habitat for Humanity, Our Home Kikinaw selected families to occupy homes based on their composition, current living conditions, willingness to partner, level of community involvement and willingness to pay. The families selected were expected to contribute 500 hours of volunteer work in lieu of a down payment. The interest-free mortgages on the two homes that the project completed in Thompson are held by the Thompson Neighbourhood Renewal Corporation (TNRC) and mortgage payments were set based on the family’s annual income and not the value of their home.

Our Home Kikinaw built its first house beginning in June 2010 and finished in

CORPORATE RENTAL Riverside Drive

March of the following year, with the family moving in April 1, 2011.

Construction of the second home began in September 2011. It was initially intended to become the residence of a couple and their five children, but they decided to walk away from the project in June 2014, so a second family was selected in April 2015. They moved in that December and lived there until they were kicked out this August for not complying by the terms of the partnership agreement with the TNRC. Among the examples of that non-compliance, said a letter from TNRC board president Dee Chaboyer, were failure to pay biweekly mortgage payments, which resulted in the land title not being transferred to the family, which meant that property tax and water bills were not being issued in their name. They also didn’t get house insurance, so the TNRC had to to add the structure and its appliances to their own insurance policy. The occupants also did not keep up with Manitoba Hydro payments.

“As a non-profit organization with limited funding, the TNRC does

Count Me In movement comes to Thompson

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Motivational speaker and entrepreneur Shane Feldman took over R.D. Parker Collegiate’s Letkemann Theatre Dec. 10 to tell Grade 7 to 12 students about the value of hard work, volunteering and community leadership.

These are some of the biggest underlying values that define Feldman’s student-led charity Count Me In, which he started back in 2008 when he was only 13 years old.

Even though this organization has accumulated over 100 million volunteer hours by 2018, Feldman, now 24, told the audience that the seeds of the Count Me In movement were planted during a bleak period of his life, when he transferred to a new high school for Grade 9 where he didn’t know anybody.

“I had these huge expectations of what high school was going to be like and now that I’m here, it’s actually the loneliest ex-

perience I could imagine,” he said. “I wake up in the morning and it feels like I have swallowed this 1,000pound weight.”

A trip to the guidance counsellor’s office discouraged Feldman from transferring to a different school, and pointed him in the direction of signing up for a variety of extracurricular activities like the radio club instead.

While taking that first step wasn’t easy, Feldman later realized that the fear and social anxiety he felt was just a necessary part of moving forward out of this funk.

“Walking into that first club meeting was ridiculously hard. Walking into another club meeting the next day was actually a little bit easier,” he said. “As soon as I pushed through the fear the first time, the fear of being rejected and alone, everything started to shift. Things got a little easier and when things are easy, you don’t really notice them as much.”

Feldman got to a point where he started adopting his guidance counsellor’s approach by asking his fellow students what they were interested in and how he could help them pursue that goal.

After setting up speaking engagements with an Olympic gold medallist and the cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation, Feldman tried to spread his message of youth empowerment by filling a community theatre in Toronto with 386 students from seven local schools.

“And that was the pilot project that would become Count Me In,” said Feldman. “The next year we planned an even bigger event for over 1,000 students and the programs have just grown and evolved every year since.”

Today, Feldman describes Count Me In as the “largest youth-led organization in the world,” involving 10 million students and hosting programs and school tours for

Council approves general 1.9 per cent increase to fee and fine schedule Council approved the 2019 fee and fine schedule at their Dec. 10 meeting, with most fees and fines increasing by 1.9 per cent from 2018 levels, the same amount the property taxes went up this year.

Some exceptions to the general 1.9 per cent increase include the Norplex Pool rates increasing so they are similar to fees in other communities, as well as the rental fee for the Bill Comaskey Wellness Centre, which is now $52.37 per hour or $419.06 for eight hours, and the cost to rent tables and chairs for use outside the Thompson Regional Community Centre (TRCC), which have also had a $250 damage deposit added.

Norplex Pool drop-in

rates will be $5.05 for children and seniors and $7.30 for adults, with the family fee going to $19.85. Threemonth passes will range from $66.50 for a senior to $116.87 for an adult and $306.94 for a family.

Tables to be used outside the TRCC are $10.50 each compared to $3.72 for those remaining inside the building, while chairs going outside are $2.63 each compared to 66 cents apiece for those staying in the building.

The cost of public works equipment and labour, as well as for using the landfill, have remained at 2018 levels, as has the cost of advertising in the TRCC, though new fees ranging from $826.88 to $2,811.38 have been added for six-

month terms.

New fees include an hourly rate of $505 for the first hour and $203 for each additional hour for the use of the command vehicle for public safety, a $50 fee for ambulance pickups from medevac flights on the north side of the airport, and a $500 access fee for the snow dump site.

Fees for transient traders in the hobbyist/artisan category were cut in half, from $114 to $57 for three days, $304 to $152 for a month and $884 to $442 for a year.

Fees and fines are reviewed every year by all standing committees of council to ensure that they accurately reflect operating costs.

The 2019 fee and fine schedule takes effect Jan. 1.

Most types of crime that Thompson RCMP tracks for its monthly reports to the city’s public safety committee are down through the first 11 months of this year as compared to the same time in 2017.

Eight of 14 crime categories are down from the first 11 months of 2017, including domestic assaults, break-and-enters, thefts, public disorder offences, other Criminal Code and mischief incidents, liquor offences, Criminal Code traffic violations and provincial traffic offences.

Other Criminal Code and mischief incidents were down 315 from the first 11 months of 2017, while public disorder offences are down 187, liquor offences

down 111 incidents and there have been 40 fewer domestic assaults reported.

Assaults are up 122 incidents from the first 11 months of 2017, while there have been 65 more drug offences recorded, 33 more traffic collisions, 117 more missing persons and requests to locate, 11 more sexual assaults and one more homicide.

RCMP have also conducted 143 more offender management curfew checks through the end of November compared to the same time period in 2017. There have also been 14 more Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrants executed in Thompson this year, 72 more other non-Criminal Code moving traffic violations and 15 more visits

to the damp house at 95 Cree Rd. There have been 11 fewer impaired driving incidents in 2018 compared to the first first 11 months of 2017.

Assaults, drug offences, liquor offences, Criminal Code traffic offences, and missing persons and requests to locate were all up this November compared to 2017. Assaults, public disorder offences and missing persons and requests to locate were up in October over the previous year.

Four more people were charged with impaired operation of vehicles in November of this year than in the same month of 2017 but there were 12 fewer impaired operation of vehicle incidents in October of this year compared to last.

Alistair Ross stepping down Continued from Page 1 operations in Manitoba, Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador at that time.

Vale’s smelter and refinery in Thompson shut down for good in the summer, resulting in around 127 jobs cuts in late July and another upcoming 24 layoffs by the end of the month.

Ross, who was based in Sudbury, met with city officials in Thompson and spoke at an Oct. 3 Chamber of Commerce meeting to explain how the growing demand for battery-powered vehicles could be the key to increased prices for nickel in the future. Later that day, he took part in the Vale Manitoba Operations open house, which was the last day that the company offered tours of the inactive smelter and refinery.

Ross had come out of semi-retirement two years ago on a contract to lead mining across Vale’s Ontario Operations before taking on responsibility for the company’s other Canadian mining operations.

Grimbeek said that Ross’s knowledge, experience and leadership skills have been invaluable during his five-month stint as the head of their North Atlantic mining operations.

“In that role [he] has delivered breakthrough thinking to lead the required transformation to achieve new levels of safety and performance in our Canadian mines.”

Grimbeek’s memo also announced that Gary Annett, who recently assumed a temporary on-the-ground management position in Thompson, will take on a new role leading the North Atlantic Mining and Milling Node across Canada and will be replaced sometime in 2019.

The past several months have seen Vale increasingly favour an absentee management style for Manitoba Operations, which are now overseen from Sudbury. Ryan Land took a new role based mostly in Sudbury back in September after spending the previous seven years in Thompson overseeing corporate affairs and organizational development at Vale’s Manitoba Operations.

Even though they’ve maintained good relationships with Vale throughout this transitional period, United Steelworkers Local 6166 president Warren Luky said this continued management restructuring makes it difficult for the union to negotiate on behalf of its members.

“Even though we fought, we had good relationships and understood were we stood” when Manitoba Operations were managed locally, he said. “A lot of that management team has since retired.”

The team started off the weekend having something to prove after a one-sided victory over the Peguis Midgets on Friday.

Chase Gurniak, Cody Hale and Kale Mayor all nabbed two goals a piece for the King Miners, while Riley Locke, Ryan Monias, Drayden Spence, Mathew Lamontagne, Harley Horning and Matt Rempel all managed to collect singles.

With a fi nal score of 12–0, goalie Skylar Szocs recorded his first shutout for the King Miners in this tournament.

Saturday morning’s contest featured a significantly different outcome, with the King Miners losing 3–2 to the Lake Manitoba Eagles, with Hale and Horning bringing home a pair of goals for their team.

On Saturday night, it was do or die time as the King Miners had to pull off a win against the Landmark Blues to advance.

With this win, Szocs managed to pick up his second shutout of the tournament.

On Sunday morning, the King Miners faced off against La Broquerie Habs in the semifinal game, which would prove to be their toughest test in this tournament.

The first period ended up with neither team finding the back of the net. Brandon McKay started the scoring early in the second period before La Broquerie took a 2–1 lead late into the period.

Defenceman Keegan Keough tied the game with a shot from the point with under two minutes left in the second period.

RDPC names senior volleyball players December’s athletes of the month the Thompson Citizen. “He [is] a wonderful young man and our volleyball program will miss him, including his booming hits from left side.”

Even though his last season of RDPC volleyball was cut a little short, Alcock said he’s still thankful for the time he spent with his teammates and the bonds

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The 2018 senior volleyball season was full of ups and downs for R.D. Parker Collegiate athletics, but Gavin Alcock (Grade 12) and Hayley Sylvester (Grade 11) still managed to make the coaching staff proud.

Because of their impressive performances on and off the court, these students end the year on a high note by capturing athlete of the month status for December.

Sylvester is no stranger to this process, having earned the same title in November 2017 for junior volleyball.

Outside of helping the senior team obtain a Zone 11 championship in mid-November and an appearance at provincials later that month, Sylvester said this latest season gave her the opportunity to improve her skills and tighten up her sports psychology.

“I was emotional on the court and my coaches taught how to get away from that and not let anything bug me and play my own game,” she said. “So it’s better for

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The midget AA Thompson King Miners picked up their 12th and 13th wins in 14 games this season Dec. 14-15, defeating the visiting Cross Lake Islanders 5-3 and 7-6 at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena.

Casper Stoker had two goals for Thompson in the opener, including the game-winner with less than a minute left in the second period after Cross Lake had scored consecutive goals to tie the game 2-2. Stoker also scored the last goal of the game early in the third period, about two minutes after his teammate Jonathan Saunders had scored on a power play to put the King Miners up 4-2.

Isaiah Spence and Kale Mayor scored in the opening period to put Thompson up 2-0 before Wilfred McLeod and Treyton Monias scored goals a couple of minutes apart in the latter half of the second period to tie the score.

The King Miners outshot

the Islanders 26-15 in the game and Isaak Weenusk made 12 saves to get the win in net.

It was a closer result on Saturday, but Thompson still got the two points. Mayor and Saunders each had hat tricks, while Spence added the other goal for the King Miners. Creighton Sinclair had a pair of goals for Cross Lake, with McLeod, Monias, Christian Ross and Dixon Thomas adding singles.

Landon Hofer made 19 saves to get the win for the King Miners, who outshot the Islanders 43-25. Colby Moore stopped 28 of 32 shots for Cross Lake while Marcus Ross let in three goals on 11 shots in 17 minutes in the Islanders’ net.

The King Miners, who close out 2018 with a pair of games at home against the Norway House North Stars Dec. 21-22, lead the league with 26 points, seven ahead of the Flin Flon Bombers and eight ahead of the Islanders.

The North Stars have no wins in 16 games.

Northstars beat Thistles in a shootout to earn fourth win of the season

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Norman Northstars won their fourth game of the Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League season on a three-game road trip Dec. 14-16, beating the Kenora Thistles 3-2 in a shootout Friday night before losing the rematch the following day 5-3 and falling 5-2 to the Winnipeg Thrashers on Sunday.

Jamie Valentino’s third period goal had tied the game 2-2 to send it to overtime. Kadin Ilott scored on a power play in the opening frame to make it 2-1 after Ben Hackl of the Thistles and the Northstars’ Mikey Baron had traded

tallies earlier in the period.

Braedin Melsted made 39 saves in the Northstars’ net for the win as his team was outshout 44-41.

The Thistles got goals from Dylan Bertrand, Ethan Carlson-Jourdain and Witherspoon in the third period Dec. 15 for a come-from-behind win.

Keistin Saunders scored early in the final frame to put the Northstars up 3-2 after Kadin Ross’s second

period goal tied the contest 2-2. Bertrand and Witherspoon had scored earlier in the middle frame to put Kenora up 2-1 after Muchikekwanape of the Northstars had the only goal in the first 20 minutes.

Rylan Potkonjak made 38 saves in the loss as the Northstars were outshot 43-26.

A three-goal first period paced the Thrashers to a 5-2 win Dec. 16. Jaden

Shumilak, Griffin AshamMoroz and Brandon Ambrozik all scored at even strength in the opening 20 minutes of the contest.

Magnus Einarson made it 4-0 in the second period before Rambow recorded the Northstars’ first goal.

Muchikekwanape cut the Thrashers’ lead to two in the third period before Einarson’s second of the game made it 5-2 for Winnipeg.

Shots in the game were 58-44 for the Thrashers and Northstars’ goaltender Melsted made 53 saves in the loss.

The road trip concluded the 2018 portion of the Northstars’ season. They are currently 4-26, with one of the losses in overtime, for nine points, three points behind both the Parkland Rangers and the Interlake Lightning, who each have five wins so far.
