Taxi owners in Thompson will have to install new cameras in their vehicles at a cost of about $1,250 plus tax now that council has approved a new model of in-car camera for cabs.

Council voted in favour of SD-300 cameras at their June 24 meeting. The previous model of camera used – the G6 Taxicam – has software problems which can prevent the city’s licence inspector from viewing images recorded by the cameras without physically removing the memory card.

“Recently, several issues have arisen from the software,” said a May 17 memo from licence inspector Frank Sharpe to the city’s fire and public safety director Mike Bourgon. “In March, all licences expired without notification. The cameras were still recording but I was unable to view footage for approximately one week, until the licences were renewed.

Approximately two weeks ago, the date and time failed on the software. Selectron Solutions [which supports the VeriEye software used in the G6 cameras] advised there was a GPS rollover which caused issues with the viewer displaying the correct date (Similar to Y2K).

There is currently no fix for this issue.”

SD-300 cameras have

Software support and training to use the new cameras, which come with a one-year warranty, is provided by GRS at no extra cost.

Thompson taxis with G6 cameras experiencing issues will begin being switched over to SD-300 cameras immediately.

“Every single taxi in the city of Thompson has a functioning camera at this time as well as GPS which a lot of people don’t realize is always running,” said city manager Anthony McInnis at the council meeting. “The issue is that our inspector has identified that the mod-

els are obsolete and it’s time that we move to a new model. The inspector has consulted with industry on this so the taxicab drivers and owners have been consulted and seem to be in favour of these upgrades.”

Sharpe said at a June 13 public safety committee meeting that the new cameras have better images and 128 gigabyte memory cards that can hold up to four weeks’ worth of footage.

“Right now we’re lucky to get about 10 days,” she said at that time, when Mayor Colleen Smook asked her if SD-300 cameras have the ability to record audio as well.

“The cameras have the technology for audio but it

eats into the video time,” said Sharpe.

In-car cameras are required under Thompson’s Taxi Cab Bylaw, which stipulates that the make and model must be approved by council. The bylaw says that licence inspectors can remove images to check for infractions of the bylaw while the RCMP remove images for investigation of crimes.

In-taxi cameras became a bylaw requirement in 2006, following the killing of taxi driver Melissa Chaboyer in 2005. Chaboyer was stabbed and left dead on the ground outside her cab in the back parking lot of the City Centre Mall. Two suspects fled on foot from the scene head-

ing towards Eastwood. Her killing remains unsolved.

“The safety of our taxi drivers given some of the past history that we’ve had in this community is of the most importance,” said Coun. Jeff Fountain, who chairs the public safety committee.

Staff Sgt. Chris Hastie said at the June 13 public safety meeting that Thompson RCMP had received six to eight complaints about taxi drivers in the past few months, though none of these had led to any arrests or charges as of May 31.

“This is not only protection for the cab industry but for the people that ride in the cabs,” said Coun. Les Ellsworth.

The committee plans to change the bylaw in the future so that camera model changes can be approved by the licence inspector.

“The changes of the bylaw would require three readings and the process would be over a month and our inspector as well as the committee felt that it was prudent to do this as quickly as possible to provide security to the community as well as the taxicab industry which is why this is coming to council,” said McInnis. “The plan is for the committee to continue to work on the bylaw amendment to give flexibility to administration.”

Liberal MLA acclaimed as federal Liberal candidate in Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding Manitoba Liberal MLA Judy Klassen was acclaimed as the candidate for the federal Liberals in the Northern Manitoba riding of Churchill-Keewatinook Aski July 4.

The nomination took place in Klassen’s home community of St. Theresa Point, a fly-in First Nation in the Island Lake region of Manitoba’s northeast.

“I am honoured and humbled by your support and will give my service to improving the lives of people in the north,” said Klassen in a press release. “The North is my home, these are my people and I will dedicate my public service to delivering results in improving the lives of Northern Manitobans.”

Klassen was elected as Keewatinook MLA in 2016, defeating former NDP MLA Eric Robinson as one of three successful Liberal candidates in the election that brought Premier Brian Pallister’s Progressive Conservative government into power, breaking a 17year hold on government by the provincial NDP. She announced in April that she would be seeking the federal nomination, though it

had been rumoured that she would since early March. Klassen will be up against NDP candidate Niki Ashton, who has represented Churchill and then Churchill-Keewatinook Aski since 2008, though her margin of victory shrank considerably in the last election from the previous one. Ashton beat Liberal candidate Rebecca Chartrand, who doesn’t live in Northern Manitoba, by fewer than 1,000 votes in the 2015 federal election, while she beat Conservative candidate Wally Daudrich from Churchill by 5,000 votes in the 2011 election.

The Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding is 75 per cent Indigenous and many of its First Nations are accessible only by air or by winter roads.

The median income of $16,606 is the lowest in Canada, and the median age of 26.3 is second lowest. It has a child poverty rate of 64.2 per cent, the worst of any of Canada’s 338 federal ridings.

“The people of the North are at a critical time of much-needed investments,” said Klassen’s press release announcing that she had captured the nomination. “We

have already seen the damage of Conservative austerity in the North

by Brian Pallister, further austerity under [leader] Andrew Scheer and the federal Conservatives would be devastating for Northern Manitoba. Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberal party are the only choice to deliver the much-needed investment the North needs.”

Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Arlen Dumas said Klassen has provided strong leadership and representation for First Nations people and communities in the provincial legislature and congratulated her on being nominated as the federal Liberal candidate in Churchill-Keewatinook Aski.

“Judy has been a formidable First Nations voice in the Manitoba legislature and in the province of Manitoba,” said Dumas. “She has brought the issues of northern First Nations to the forefront and continues to keep the current government accountable. The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs has been proud to work with Judy on a number of issues and looks forward to collaborating more in the future.

We congratulate Ms. Klassen on her accomplishments and we wish her well in the upcoming federal election.”

Klassen’s decision to jump into federal politics will put the Manitoba Liberal Party at risk of losing official party status, which it just regained last summer for the first time since 1995 when party leader Dougald Lamont won a byelection in Winnipeg’s St. Boniface riding to give the party four seats.

River Heights MLA Jon Gerrard and Burrows MLA Cindy Lamoureux are the Manitoba Liberals’ other MLAs. Official party status gives parties access to funding, research staff and a guaranteed presence during Question Period and on committees.

Lamont told the Canadian Press in March that he knew about Klassen’s possible departure but expected that he would have his party’s full complement of MLAs at election time, because he believed the Progressive Conservative government would call it in the spring.

PC leader Brian Pallister announced in June that Manitoba’s next prov-

10, more than a year ahead of the fixed election date of Oct. 6 202 and about a month before the federal election campaign.

University College of the North turns 15 University College of the North (UCN) celebrated the 15th anniversary of its founding July 1 and the Northern Manitoba post-secondary institution offered over 50 per cent more programs in 2018-19 than it did in its inaugural year while also reaching its highest enrolment levels ever.

The University College of the North Act was passed by the Manitoba legislature June 1, 2004 and took effect a month later. The institution replaced Keewatin Community College, which was founded in 1967 and held its last Thompson campus graduation ceremony June 18, 2004.

In the academic year that just ended, UCN offered 46 certificate, degree and diploma programs to 3,100 students in Thompson, The Pas and 20 other Northern Manitoba communities, 13 of which are the site of UCN post-secondary access centres, training centres or workforce development centres.

“I can think of no better way to celebrate our 15th anniversary than finishing the 2018/19 academic year with the highest enrolment achieved since UCN

was founded,” said Doug Lauvstad, UCN’s president and vice-chancellor, in a June 28 press release.

“UCN’s commitment to education close to home is stronger than ever, and I commend the dedication of our recruiters, faculty and staff members who have worked tirelessly to ensure that more northerners than ever are benefiting from the high quality education offered by UCN, regardless of where they live. After 15 years of service, UCN is well positioned to play a leadership role in strengthening the cultural, social, and economic vibrancy in Northern Manitoba.”

“In its 15th year, UCN is delivering certificate, diploma and degree programs to more northerners than ever before and has engaged in meaningful partnerships throughout the north,” said governing council chairperson Cam Mateika. “I’m very proud of the work that we are doing to provide training and education opportunities for Northern Manitobans.”

Then-advanced training and education minister Diane Gifford appointed a 12-member interim council to oversee the establishment

Thompson Citizen photo by Kyle Darbyson University College of the North president Doug Lauvstad, seen here during the Thompson campus graduation ceremony June 27, said finishing the school year with the highest-enrolment count ever was the perfect gift to mark the 15th anniversary of UCN’s establishment July 1. of UCN in June 2004. It included current UCN chancellor Edwin Jebb and Martha Jonasson of the UCN elders’ council was present at a press conference in Thompson when UCN was established, having served as a member of the UCN elders’ consultation group.

The interim council had the duties of both an academic and a governing body for the first two years of UCN’s existence and was responsible for appointing the institution’s first president and overseeing its operations.

UCN’s 84,400-square-

foot Thompson campus with 15 distance-learning classrooms, a 12-bed nursing lab with clinical simulation capabilities and a 73-space childcare facility officially opened in May 2014. Jebb, by then a few years into his role as chancellor, said at that

time that it was the biggest single investment the provincial government had ever made in Northern Manitoba apart from Manitoba Hydro dams. It was expected that the new campus would increase program capacity in Thompson from 342 to 510 students.

Lifeflight privatization plan has led to service suspension, layoffs and a call for an audit The Manitoba government’s decision to stop using government-owned planes to provide air ambulance services has resulted in job losses in Thompson and Winnipeg, suspensions of service and a call for the auditor general to look into air ambulance privatization.

The provincial government announced June 6 that the Lifeflight air ambulance program for critically injured patients outside a 200-kilometre radius of Winnipeg would no longer be using two government-owned Citation as early as sometime in June. The province said this was because recruiting for highly specialized positions related to operating these jets is difficult due to the specific training and qualifications required along with significant competition from private-sector employers. The government-owned jets were used in about half of all air ambulance flights in 2018.

Nine pilots and a maintenance crew were laid off June 26 and the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union (MGEU) filed a group grievance on their behalf July 5 as well as grievances for four individual members.

MGEU president Michelle Gawronsky says the civil services collective agreement requires 40 days’ notice of layoffs of senior employees.

“It’s a pretty clear violation of the collective agreement and shows a complete

Thompson Citizen file photo The provincial government’s decision in June to stop using government-owned Citation jets to provide air ambulance services has resulted in the layoffs of nine pilots and maintenance staff in Thompson and Winnipeg and Lifeflight doctors have been refusing to board some private medevac planes due to safety concerns. lack of respect, “ she said in an MGEU press release, noting that the laid-off employees had their benefits and pensions terminated immediately. “If you had tried to find a more callous way to lay off hard-working employees, I don’t think you could. These people had a collective agreement in place that was ignored.

They weren’t provided with proper notice. They weren’t even able to remove all of their personal effects from the workplace.”

CBC reported July 4 that Manitoba Shared Health chief executive officer Brock

Wright issued a memo June 15 asking Manitoba health authorities and clinical leaders to provide staff to assist with medical transportation of adult patients because Lifeflight doctors have not been boarding air ambulance planes for the last two weeks, since the province grounded its Citation jets.

Lifeflight operations were taken over on an interim basis by Babcock Canada and Vanguard Air Care, a division of Fast Air, June 28.

Lifeflight program medical director Renate Singh told the Winnipeg Sun that some private planes used

for air ambulances in the past haven’t had the right equipment to move critical care patients and weren’t able to land on short gravel runways in some smaller communities and that adding these required safety features could take weeks or months.

“The [Premier Brian] Pallister government has made an absolute mess of the Lifeflight situation,” Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew said on Twitter July 2.

“These are the critical care air ambulances that serve people around the province.

The government has tried

to privatize but has instead disrupted an essential service. The Pallister government should tell Manitobans whether any Lifeflight air ambulances are flying right now. ‘Election blackout’ or not, this is important public health information.”

Manitoba Liberal leader Dougald Lamont and River Heights MLA Jon Gerrard wrote to Manitoba auditor-general Norm Ricard June 14 asking him to audit the government’s handling of Lifeflight air ambulance privatization. It said private-sector operators of jets like the Citation are

not permitted to land on gravel runways that the government-owned planes were and that using smaller turboprop planes that can’t fly above bad weather will results in longer flight times and delays in transporting critically ill and injured patients. They also noted that the service was unable to operate for three days on the weekend after the province announced its plans to stop using its Citation jets.

“There were immediate severe disruptions to patient service including specific incidents in Swan River and Dauphin,” said the latter.

The Liberal party said June 27 that the Office of the Auditor General had been in touch with them and that a meeting would take place in the coming weeks.

A Beech B200 medevac aircraft operated by Keewatin Air LP flying from Winnipeg to Churchill with two crew members and tow nurses on board crash-landed near Gillam Airport April 24 because of a fuel issue.

A summary of the incident on the Transportation Safety Board of Canada’s website said both engines flamed out during an emergency descent due to insufficient fuel and that the plane touched down on the ice of Stephens Lake short of the runway.

The plane struck a rocky berm near the threshold of the runway and came to a stop near the right side of the runway threshold. No on was injured but the plane was substantially damaged.

City contracts consultant to provide building inspection services for next two years Former Thompson building inspector Blaine Graham will be in town at least once a month to perform duties

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Thompson city council held a special meeting July 4 and approved paying a Winnipeg consulting firm to provide building inspection services now that the chief building inspector is no longer employed by the city.

City manager Anthony McInnis recommended that council approve a two-year contract with RG Business Solutions to pro-

vide inspection services for commercial and residential buildings.

Council passed the resolution unanimously. Councillors Andre Proulx and Brian Lundmark weren’t at the meeting.

McInnis told the Thompson Citizen that RG Business Solutions will be sending former City of Thompson chief building inspector Blaine Graham, who now lives in Win-

nipeg, to carry out these responsibilities at least once a month.

The city is also in the process of training a new chief building inspector, although McInnis said it might take up to two years before that employee completes their education at Red River College.

The agreement with RG Business Solutions is within the cost of the existing chief building inspector position

and won’t set the city back financially, the city manager said.

Former chief building inspector Jeff Wedge’s employment with the city ended about two weeks prior to Thursday’s meeting.

In February 2018, Wedge pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 18 months supervised probation.

The next city council meeting is July 15 at City Hall.

Only eight forest fires burning in northeast region July 8 but two biggest cover more than 40,000 hectares between them

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

There have been far fewer forest fires in Manitoba’s northeast district so far this year than in 2018 but they have burned more than twice as many hectares.

Up to July 8 of this year, the northeast district has seen 42 fires, 34 of which have been extinguished.

In 2018, there had been 122 fires in the northeast district as of July 9 and 31 were burning on that date. Those fires had only burned 17,927 hectares, however, compared to 43,383 hectares this year.

Twenty-three fires were burning across the province as of 11:55 a.m. July 8.

“The areas of concern continue to be the Lake Winnipeg East, Gods Lake and Island Lake areas,” said Sustainable Development’s July 8 fire

update report. “Thundershowers are beginning to occur across the province, and significant amounts of rain are being observed at some locations. The showers will continue into Tuesday. Depending on the amount of precipitation associated with the thundershowers, additional lightning and new fire starts may occur. Provincial fire crews are focusing their efforts on fires near the communities of Little Grand Rapids, and Red Sucker Lake at this time. Three fires continue to burn in remote areas east of Lake Winnipeg, and two large fires continue to burn in a remote area between the communities of Poplar River and Island Lake. These fires are not threatening any communities. Manitoba Wildfire Program staff continue to monitor all fires and are in

direct contact with community leadership, lodge and out camp owners. A large wildfire in North West Ontario crossed into Manitoba on Friday. This fire is burning in a remote area along the Manitoba border adjacent to the Atikaki Provincial Wilderness Park, and is also contributing to the smoke conditions in Manitoba.”

The eastern region, with 63 fires up to July 8, and the central region, with 61, have been the two areas with the most fires this year. Last year the central had the thirdmost (67) by this point and the eastern district the second-most with 85.

The fires between Poplar River and Island Lake, both of which were being watched, have been burning for 23 and 25 days respectively, with one having burned 24,000 hectares and the other

Eight forest fires were burning in Manitoba’s northeast region as of July 8, one of which was classified as out of control while four others were being watched.

17,500 as of July 8.

There was one out-ofcontrol fire in the northeast region as of July 8, which had burned about 1,265 hectares near Red

Sucker Lake.

Sixty-four firefighters, five helicopters and two other aircraft were engaged fighting fires in the northeast as of July 8.

Twenty-six of the 42 fires in the northeast up to July 8 this year were caused by people with the remaining 16 caused by lighting.

Fall in Northern Manitoba is one of the prettiest sights to witness.

The colours all around us are gorgeous and it’s a huge realization that change can be a wonderful thing. We often forget how beautiful the preparation for death of this season actually is. Summer can’t last forever, as even the trees know that all good things come to end and that it’s not only a healthy action of life, but necessary that we learn to let go.

On Monday, for example, the kids were tasked with making artificial flowers out of recyclable material to parallel the story of Genesis.

We don’t know what’s to come, so we stay where we are. The trees know that they can shed their leaves because new leaves will always come back in the spring.

gold for the second time in three years

The midget AA Thompson King Miners were in Sagkeeng, Manitoba March 2–4 for this year’s provincial hockey tournament, and walked away from the contest with the top prize in their hands.

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.

The Thompson team eventually came away with a decisive 8–0 victory, with

Hale leading the way with two goals, and players like Gurniak, Mayor, Monias, Spence, Horning and Dawson Bilawka bringing up the rear with some singles.

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.

The third period was a left up to the goaltenders, as Isaak Weenusk stopped everything that came his way. With four minutes left Gurniak pounced on a loose puck in front La Broquerie’s net to win the match 3–2 and put his team into the gold medal game.

Weenusk was named game star thanks to his

The gold medal game was a rematch with Lake Manitoba, this time with a drastically different outcome. The offensive hustle started early with Gurniak and Monias scoring within the first 50 seconds to

give their team an early 2–0 lead.

The score would stay that way until halfway through the second period with Spence and Rempel both adding goals to give their team a 4–0 lead going into the final period.

Highway 6 speeder gets $600-plus fines from same officer on back-to-back days Thompson RCMP issued 41 tickets over the first weekend of July, including two tickets to one driver in two days.

A driver on Highway 6 was stopped and issued a warning for speeding before being stopped again by a different officer while driving 146 kilometres per hour. The following day, the same driver was stopped by the same officer while going 143 km/h. The combined total of the two speeding tickets he received was $1,265.

Two drivers received fines of more than $900 and $1,000 respectively, for speeding in the construction zone on Highway 6. One was going 39 kilometres over the posted speed limit and fined $1,071 while another travelling at 33 kilometres over the limit got a $916 ticket. Thompson RCMP Const. Sandy Deibert said in a press release that fines are double in construction zones and that posted construction zone speed limits apply whether workers are present or not.

Other tickets handed out last weekend were for driving with suspended licences, driving without a driver’s licence, driving unregistered vehicles, driving while holding a cell phone, and driving with no front licence plate.

Thompson RCMP are also reminding drivers that when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with lights flashing in an area with a speed limit of 80 km/h or higher, they must slow down to 60 km/h. In areas with a speed limit of 79 km/h or lower, drivers are required to slow down to 40 km/h. Drivers must also move to the farthest lane from the emergency vehicle whenever possible, proceed with caution and only pass when it is safe to do so. Failing to slow down for approaching emergency vehicles with flashing lights is also an offence. Drivers must pull over to the curb and remain stopped until the vehicle has passed.
