“When we talk about doing things to keep people in Thompson, those are a huge resource for families with young children and to take them away is detrimental,” she said. “It left my family scrambling, along with a lot of other families.”

McInnis said these programs are on the table for their ongoing 2019-20 budget consultations, although this process is slightly behind schedule due to the municipal election last fall.

Thompson Bus cofounder Jimmy Pelk expressed his disappointment

over the city’s recent decision to award its public transit contract to Maple Bus Lines, and asked why a “Over thecompany least decade of local transit wasn’t working with PBI, I have given priority. seen firsthand McInnis saidthe it ispassion illegal and that the team underenergy the Manitoba Muputs into important nicipal Acttheir to give preferresearch and efforts to ential treatment to a local ensure bears companypolar during this have kind a said Reiss in a offuture,” decision-making process. press release.

When Pelk asked what the city’s five-month contract with Maple Bus will cost, McInnis said that number is confidential since it is based on projections right now.

Canadian Tire owner Mike Howell voiced his concerns about the number of people he sees drinking near his business, and asked McInnis and Smook why nothing is being done to address this problem.

“I pick up two black garbage bags [of liquor bottles] a week from my parking lot, which is not my responsibility, but I do it to give our business a good representa-

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Josh Pace I got, either solo or with the group, the number of people that I met just really increased exponentially,” he said. “I was surprised. There is a pretty extensive music scene in Thompson for what it is and there’s a lot of really talented people.”

This new environment also encouraged Haggith to get back into the studio in 2018 and take his music career to the next level by recording this solo album.

As part of his marketing campaign for Bridges, Haggith even decided to release music video for its debut single called “The Nature of the Times” back in January.

Not only does this video provide listeners with a sneak preview of Bridges’ unique blend of folk, indie and alternative rock, but Haggith also decided to prominently feature himself playing next to Thompson landmarks like the King Miner Statue and the Burntwood River as a way to celebrate his new home.

“I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” he said. “Except it was about 24 below and playing the guitar out in that temperature for a couple minutes is enough to make your fingers go numb.”

While this video also features the Miles Hart Bridge, Haggith said the album’s namesake is actually a metaphor for the connections that we make with other people and how we can sometimes neglect those relationships.

Haggith is also using Bridges to help raise aware for mental health issues, and hopes to shine a light on difficult subject matter like depression and abuse through this upcoming release.

“So each of the 10 songs kind of take it from a different perspective, from my personal thoughts to a broad look at the awful discourse around politics and religion,” he said. “There’s one song that’s told through the eyes of a good friend of mine from back home who overcame spousal abuse and

had to deal with turning the isolation away from that person into a positive.”

Even though Haggith hasn’t nailed down a solid release date for Bridges just yet, he and producer Justin Sobey are aiming to have this project finished by the summer of 2019.

“That’s a process that I am not rushing at all, because we want it to sound as good as it could possibly sound,” he said. “But I do intend to release probably another single or two in advance as we gear up for that and we’re just going to take it as it comes.”

In the meantime, anyone interested in listening to the rest of Haggith’s discography can do so through his official YouTube page or Bandcamp account.

City finalizes schedule for 2019 Winterfest

WAITING FOR KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY? You deserve shorter wait times If you’re scheduled for knee replacement surgery, faster services are on the way.

Streamlined processes and new funding will increase procedures in 2019 by nearly 25 per cent – all while ensuring safe and quality care.

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

With Winterfest less than two weeks away, the city’s recreation department is able to confirm most of the high-profile events that will be taking place in and around the Thompson Regional Community Centre Feb. 22−24.

According to recreation director Carol Taylor, this year’s Winterfest will kick-off with an opening ceremony on Friday night, which will include fireworks, a bonfire and a live indoor performance by local rock band Between the Ditches.

Saturday’s itinerary will feature most of Winterfest’s

big-ticket attractions, like a hotdog lunch, family skate, mini-putt, comedy juggling from performer Chris Without the Hat and a production of Munschtopia at the Letkemann Theatre.

Hockey enthusiasts will also find plenty to do on Saturday. Not only is a four-on-four road hockey tournament taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the midget AAA Norman Northstars are inviting fans to watch their Feb. 23 match-up against the Interlake Lightning for free.

In fact, Taylor said most of the events for Winterfest 2019 are free, with the exception being the Munschtopia show.

Winterfest will wrap up Sunday with a pancake breakfast, some more live music and the closing ceremonies.

“We’ve kind of made it more family-oriented, rather than individual things, this year,” said Taylor. “It’s been a long winter. Come out and meet your neighbours again.”

The city will post a full Winterfest 2019 schedule on their website and Facebook page sometime this week.

Otherwise, anyone interested in volunteering for, or finding more information about, Winterfest 2019 can do so by calling the city’s recreation department at 204-677-7952.

Challenge of Thompson election results may or may not be heard before March 11 byelection

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

A civil motion to reverse the results of the Oct. 24 municipal election and a subsequent recount – both of which determined that candidates Andre Proulx and Chiew Chong tied for the final seat on council – may not be ruled upon until after a byelection scheduled in March, though it may be resolved earlier.

The motion, filed by Chong, was adjourned to April 15 in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Thompson Feb. 11, but a hearing may be held later this month if Chong’s lawyer, the lawyer representing the City of Thompson and Justice Herbert Rempel, the judge who conducted the judicial recount, can

find a mutually agreeable date.

Proulx and Chong each received 1,008 votes on election night. The recount found that each had received 1,009 valid votes.

Under Manitoba’s municipal elections law, a byelection must be held when two or more candidates tie with the same number of votes for an available office.

Election results can be challenged on three grounds: that an elected candidate was not eligible to hold office at the time they were elected; that there were irregularities in the election or acts constituting offences under that act, such as inducing someone to vote a particular way through bribery or coercion, or removing a ballot from

a voting place; and on the basis that there were irregularities in the vote or acts considered election offences that affected the result of the vote.

Court challenges can be dismissed by the court at any time if they are deemed frivolous, vexatious or made in bad faith.

Among the remedies the court may impose if a challenge of an election is successful is a declaration that an election was invalid and that the office in question is now vacant or that another candidate is duly elected.

A court decision on a challenge of the results of an election may be appealed to the Court of Appeals within seven days of the decision being handed down.

The facility, currently under construction on donated land on Churchill’s main street, will serve as Polar Bears International’s base camp in Manitoba’s polar bear capital, supporting outreach efforts and

serving as an interpretive centre for polar bear research and conservation.

“Thousands of people visit Churchill every fall for the

polar bear migration,” said North West Company president and CEO Edward Kennedy, in a news release. “Polar Bears International has committed to the community and polar bears through this project. The North West Company is happy to support their efforts as part of our Northern store presence as the largest community-based retailer in Churchill. The completed space will benefit the town, its

visitors, and polar bears.”

“We are delighted that the North West Company has joined with other major donors to help us complete this project,” said Polar Bears International executive director Krista Wright. “It’s gratifying to see this commitment to the polar bear’s future. Thanks to the generosity of all who have contributed, Polar Bears International House will allow us

to do even more for polar bear conservation.”

Other major donors to Polar Bears International House include the Reiss Family Foundation, John and Nancy Kelleher, Brian and Elizabeth Ruth Hastings, the Annenberg Foundation, Terracon Development, the Asper Foundation, Dick and Valerie Beck, Rosen/Jackson Charitable Fund, Sam Ifergan, Banville & Jones, Kevin White

and Thomas Holmes, Gendis, Inc, Murray Auto Group, and Loi and Adele Nguyen.

Polar Bears International is dedicated to conserving polar bears and the sea ice they depend on to live.

The North West Company has 244 stores in Canada, Alaska, the South Pacific and the Caribbean, including Giant Tiger, Northern and NorthMart stores.

Thompson in top 100 on Canada’s Sexiest Cities list Thompson punches above its weight when it comes to buying adult toys and lingerie, according to the sixth edition of PinkCherry’s

Canada’s Sexiest Cities.

The list, which ranked Canadian cities based on the average value per person of the sales the online adult retail-

er made there in 2018, found that Thompson was 92nd among 499 communities in Canada when it came to adult novelty and lingerie

purchases.

The 100 largest cities in Canada in the 2016 census all had more than 50,000 people.

Thompson was well

ahead of its Northern Manitoba neighbours in adult toy purchases per capita, as Flin Flon ranked 191st and The Pas clocked in at

241st overall. Winnipeg ranked 252nd, though it was 10th on the list of cities with populations of more than 150,000 people.

OBITUARY MORRIS SENKOWSKI March 16, 1951 - February 3, 2019 On February 3 Morris Russell Senkowski, aged 67 years, passed away peacefully at the Northern Spirit Manor Personal Care Home, with his loving wife and family by his side.

Morris was born in Ituna, Saskatchewan on March 16, 1951 and grew up on the family farm.

Morris obtained employment with INCO August 13,1971, retiring after 35 years with the company. Most of his years were spent in open pit mining operating heavy equipment which he enjoyed very much. He was a hard worker who took pride in a job well done.

Morris loved the outdoors. In his younger years he enjoyed his motorcycle. He loved snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter; fishing, gardening, berry picking and doing yard work in the summer.

Morris was a loving husband and proud father. He was a kind and generous gentle man who always put his family first. He unfortunately did not get to know his grandchildren because of his early dementia diagnosis. They would have loved his playful and ‘teddy-bear like’ nature. He will be remembered as a strong man with a tender heart.

His soft smile will be lovingly remembered.

Morris is survived by his wife of 41 years, Marcella. Son Drayton (Erin) and their children Aiden & Owen; Daughter Arlynne (Colby) and their children Reid, Emmett’s & Anya; Son Durant (Jenn) and their children Nadia & Jack. Brother Orest (Angie) and sister Loriann (Bob).

Brothers-in-law Alfonse (Linda), Aloysius (Cathy), Anthony (Bettishia) and sister-in-law Monica (Wayne) as well as many numerous nieces and nephews.

Morris was predeceased by his parents, his father Russell in 2003 and his mother Anne in 2012.

Morris’ family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at the Norther Spirit Manor for their support, care and love he received for the past 6 years.

As per Morris’ wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Those wishing to make expressions of sympathy may make a donation in Morris’ memory to Northern Spirit Manor or to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.

Pimicikamak Cree Nation member designs Jets and Moose logos for weekend celebrating Indigenous culture The Indigenous culture of Winnipeg and Manitoba will be celebrated on the ice Feb. 16-17 as the Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose play host to Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre (WASAC) on Saturday and Follow Your Dreams Day on Sunday.

For WASAC Night Feb. 16, the Winnipeg Jets will welcome 30 Indigenous youth from northern and remote First Nations including Lac Brochet, Oxford House, Pauingassi and Shamattawa. These students will get to take part in the Jets’ and Ottawa Senators’ game day skates and go skating at Camp Manitou with Indigenous NHL alumni Reggie Leach, Jamie Leach and Daryl Stanley before returning to Bell MTS Place for the game. Winnipeg country and folk singer Don Amero will perform the national anthem and there will also be a performance by drumming group Spirit Sands Singers and a ceremonial puck drop featuring Indigenous youth and elders.

Five hundred youth from Indigenous communities in Manitoba will take part in a meet-and-greet and Q&A session with the Indigenous NHL alumni Feb. 17 before attending the Manitoba Moose American Hockey League game against the Milwaukee Admirals.

As part of the events, True North Sports & Entertainment enlisted the help of Red River College graphic design student and Pimicikamak Cree Nation member Leticia Spence to create special versions of the teams’ logos which will be printed on T-shirts that will be sold at both the games with all proceeds going to the WASAC. “We wanted to find a way of expressing the idea

“It was really important to us to create some visual language that resonated with the Indigenous community. So, it very quickly became apparent that we had to enlist some help.”

Spence proved to be the perfect fit.

“Her wealth of knowledge on Indigenous culture and artwork and that visual language, as well as her experiences as a designer really provided us with a solid footing for the ability to create some logo and branding that resonated with the Indigenous community and lent everything an air of authenticity that we probably wouldn’t have been able to achieve without her help,” said Dudych.

Spence chose beadwork

as the inspiration for her Jets logo “A lot of my family does beading,” Spence said. “That’s been passed down from my auntie, and so when I was thinking about this design, I was thinking about my Auntie Betsy and the patterns she would make for our moccasins that she would give us every Christmas. I also wanted to keep in mind the medicine wheel because of the circle. I thought it would look really good to include that in a way that is modern and contemporary to reflect Indigenous culture which is constantly evolving.”

The moose logo was inspired by the work of Norval Morrisseau, who created the Woodland School of Art. “This style uses a lot of organic lines and the idea of certain energies and how us humans or animals relate to the earth and sky,” Spence said.

worked closely with Spence on both of the logos.

“What I found interesting is that every little detail that went into the logo has a meaning, and together they make a story,” said Jorgensen. “We put a lot of trust in Leticia and had a lot of respect with her process and design work.

She knocked it out of the park to begin with. The challenge is that we were incorporating new elements into our brand, but we still had to keep the integrity of the Jets brand and Moose brand. So, it was a unique challenge, and her solution to everything was beautiful.”

Kevin Chief, one of the founders of WASAC, said inviting Spence to design the logos was a great way to demonstrate to the youth taking part in the weekend’s events where hard work can take them.

“It’s absolutely amazing and the thought and the teachings that have gone into the work that Leticia has done – tying in her Cree culture, and then taking that and working with the incredible people at True North is just wonderful,” said Chief. “You can’t talk about the history of Canada without talking about relationships with Indigenous people, First Nation, Metis, and Inuit people. So, if you’re a Canadian and you’re a Manitoban, this is as much a part of your history as it is ours. But we can’t tell people this is important, we have to show them. And one of the best ways to show it is to celebrate it. What we’re doing is celebrating that collective history together, and it’s critically important that we do that. And there is no better place to celebrate this than in the loudest barn in the National Hockey League.”

Final road trip of the season a rough ride for Northstars

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Norman Northstars played their last three road games of the 2018-19 Manitoba AAA Midget Hockey League season Feb. 8-10, sandwiching losses in which they were outscored by 10 goals around one in in which the other team won by five.

The trip started out against the Winnipeg Thrashers, who got first period goals from Connor Roulette, Jaden Shumilak, Nick Sharpe, Griffin Asham-Moroz, Mathieu Moreira and Brandon Ambrozik before Henry Muchikekwanape got the the Northstars on the board.

Sharpe and Jack Stewart

made it 8-1 after 40 minutes, with Branden Huminuk, Cameron Hibbert, Ryland Kuczek and Roulette scoring in the third period before Muchikekwanape’s second goal made it a 12-2 final. Shots were 56-35 for the Thrashers and Braedin Melsted made nine saves in the first 17 minutes before being relieved by Rylan Potkonjak, who finished with 35 saves.

The Northstars were neckand-neck with the Eastman Selects until the last 10 minutes of the game Feb. 9. Kyle Melo and Andrew Blocker put the Selects up 2-0 in the first period before Hunter Rambow cut the lead

in half. Blocker’s second was the only goal of the middle frame and the Northstars pulled within one just before the midway point of the third period when Ryan Monias scored to make it a 3-2 game.

Kieran Thiessen replied for Eastman just over a minute later and that seemed to open the floodgates, as Matthew Boonstra, Kade Runke and Josh Beauchemin scored goals in a three-minute span to blow the game open and give the Selects a 7-2 win.

Potkonjak made 39 saves as the Northstars were outshot 46-36.

Morgan Daneliuk was the only Northstar to score in an 11-1 loss to the league-lead-

ing Winnipeg Wild Feb. 10, getting his team on the scoreboard in the third period when they were already trailing 11-0. Reese Belton had four goals to pace the Wild, with Jackson Klewchuk and Ethan Robson each scoring twice and Tyson Smith, Matthew Shatsky, Luc Benedictson and Brandon McCartney adding singles. Shots were 58-19 for Winnipeg and Melsted made 47 saves in the loss.

The Northstars play their last four games of the season at home against the Brandon Wheat Kings and the Interlake Lightning. They could still pass the Parkland Rangers to climb out of the
