Out-of-province contractors may come to Thompson without self-isolating to do Vale maintenance shutdown work

Book a way to preserve and pass on memories of growing up in Churchill

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Some out-of-province contractors could come to work at Vale’s Manitoba Operations without self-isolating for 14 days after arriving in the province due to an exemption in public health orders for workers engaged in critical infrastructure construction and maintenance.

Although these contractors, who are performing work associated with Vale’s maintenance shutdown in August, do not have to self-isolate after arrival, they must receive a medical screening and clearance before coming to Thompson if they are coming from Ontario or further east.

“Vale is using this exemption on a limited and case-by-case basis,” said Tara Ritchie of Vale Manitoba Operations Corporate & Indigenous Affairs department in an email. “If they do not receive this medical clearance, then they are not permitted to travel to Thompson,” While in Thompson, any contractors from Ontario or further east who did not self-isolate upon

arrival in Manitoba will also have to conduct a daily self-screening for COVID-19 symptoms, practise physical distancing, wear a non-medical face mask, self-isolate in their accommodations when not at work and adhere to all requirements from the provincial government and Vale, said Ritchie.

The protocol to exempt some contractors from the 14-day self-isolation period upon arrival in Manitoba was developed in consultation with the provincial and regional public health authorities, Ritchie said.

“Vale is committed to the health and safety of its people and the communities in which we operate,” she said. “ We are closely following COVID-19 requirements from the Manitoba and federal governments, as well as guidance from local and national public health authorities. We continue to implement stringent protocols and precautions to help ensure the safety and health of our employees and our community during the pandemic.”

Warren Luky, president

Thompson Citizen file photo of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 6166, which represents more than 500 hourly workers at Vale Manitoba Operations, says bringing in contractors from Ontario and other eastern provinces poses some risk, even with screening protocols in place.

“Anytime you bring in people from out of town, no matter the screening and stuff, it’s never fool-

proof,” he said. “It’ll put our community at a little bit of risk unfortunately for the shutdown. I don’t know if it’s foolproof to be honest with you and that’s challenging for everybody working in the mine and the community where the contractors will be. Thompson’s been very lucky not to have any known cases so we’d like to keep it that way. Hopefully everyone can remain

COVID-free. As far as the pandemic is concerned, we are far from out of the woods. We know how devastating it could be for the north.”

He also says it is frustrating that contractors are being brought in at a time when Manitoba Operations is planning to make job cuts this fall.

“They plan on laying off people but they’re also bringing in contractors to

work so it’s really frustrating for everybody,” said Luky. “[Contractors] fill up hotels and they get some restaurants busy but other than that we’d like to see Thompson people, people in the north do the work in the mine.”

Luky said a company presentation about Vale’s operations in Thompson was scheduled for July 15 and he is anxious to hear about their plans.

Scammer tries to steal money from Thompson resident by pretending to be an RCMP officer Thompson RCMP are investigating an incident in which a scammer pretended to be a Canada Revenue Agency and then an RCMP officer in an attempt to defraud a Thompson resident out of a large amount of money.

The scammer initially called and told the intended victim that his social insurance number had been compromised and that there was now a warrant for his arrest.

The scammer then called back posing as an RCMP officer and told the person

that he would have to send a large amount of money through the mail. The second call spoofed the Thompson RCMP detachment phone number in an attempt to make the call appear legitimate. Spoofing is a technique in which scammers falsify caller ID information to make it appear that the call is coming from a local number, company or government agency that the victim may know and trust.

The victim was told to wrap the package containing the money to look like a

birthday present and send it though the mail but a family member noticed something was off and asked the victim what they were doing. The victim explained the situation and the family member recognized it as a scam, preventing the package from being mailed and reporting the incident to the RCMP. RCMP say they and other government agencies, including Service Canada, will never call to ask for or demand money for any reason. If you receive such a call, you should hang up and

call the police back yourself using publicly-accessible contact details. Anyone who receives a call such as this or who suspects they may have been a victim of fraud should contact their local police detachment or the Canadian Anti-Fraud centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Thompson Walmart needs to ‘show respect for shoppers,’ says sister of Indigenous woman wrongly accused of not having paid for their purchases

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

An Indigenous woman whose sister was prevented from leaving the Thompson Walmart with their purchases after being wrongly suspected of theft says store employees need better training to prevent similar incidents from happening to others.

Celina Dumas, who lived in Thompson for 12 years before moving to South Indian Lake last year, was in the store July 7 with her 18-year-old sister, who bought herself a small TV for her room.

“We had to pay for the TV in the electronics department,” said Dumas. “If we didn’t pay for it they would not have taken the security tag off.”

They remained in the store for about 20 minutes after that, stocking up on other items, but when they paid for their purchases and tried to head outside, her sister was prevented from leaving with their shopping carts by customer service representatives who alleged that she had not paid for some or all of the items.

“She came out crying, storming without our cart full of stuff,” said Dumas,

who had gone out first to talk to a friend she saw outside the doors. “I said, ‘What’s going on and where’s our stuff?’ and then she said, ‘Well they took it,’ and she was pretty upset. ‘I stole it, they said,’ so she didn’t want to deal with any of it so I went back. I showed them all the receipts … and I said, ‘You know, this treatment is terrible, you need to show respect for your shoppers.’ I raised my voice and told them how disgusted I was with the way they were treating us and that it wasn’t fair what they were doing.”

Later, Dumas called the store to speak to the manager, who apologized for what happened and said he would look into the incident.

“I said you’re not the one that’s supposed to be sorry, I think it should be your staff members and that’s when I said if you guys are not labelling us Indigenous people as drunks, we’re thieves,” said Dumas. “That was in a fit of anger but I stand by my words now after thinking about it and processing everything.”

Security at the Thomp-

Citizen file photo son Walmart was accused the previous week of trying to stop Indigenous people from going into the store because they looked like people who drank or were wearing sunglasses, prompting Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) to issue a press release decrying discriminatory treatment.

“It is disappointing to

hear there are more reports coming from First Nations citizens who are experiencing disrespectful treatment when they shop at the Thompson Walmart,” MKO Grand Chief told the Thompson Citizen. “We are becoming increasingly aware that these are not isolated incidents. I urge the leadership at Walmart to take time to meet with

Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak to address the ongoing discrimination against Indigenous peoples at their Thompson location.

We did send a letter to Walmart last week but we have not received any response.

We hope management is aware that First Nations people spend a great deal of their income at their store; it is imperative for

Walmart to address this immediately.”

Walmart Canada has not yet responded to inquiries from the Citizen about the incident and whether it is company or store policy to prevent customers from leaving with their purchases if they are suspected of not paying for something or their receipt needs to be checked again.

Bylaw change would create taxi licence that requires holder to operate a vehicle adapted for people with disabilities

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Thompson’s city council is considering a change to its taxicab bylaw in hopes of ensuring that there is always one taxi that is accessible to people with disabilities.

First reading of the taxicab bylaw amendment was approved unanimously at council’s June 22 meeting.

The change would see one of the city’s two existing limousine licences, which is currently not assigned to an operator, be converted to a taxi licence that would require the holder to operate a handicapped-accessible vehicle.

The motivation for the change, which would increase the total amount of taxi licences in Thompson from 42 to 43, is that two previously accessible taxis were recently converted to regular taxis by their owners.

“There is no requirement in our bylaw that these licences had to remain as adapted taxis,” said a memo to mayor and council from licence inspector Frank Sharpe.

The bylaw changes would require the holder of the accessible taxi licence to give priority service to anyone with a physical disability, as was required of operators of adapted taxis before, and to be available to dispatch from Monday to Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The changes would also reduce the number of limousine licences in the city

to one.

Councillors were supportive of the change though some suggested more might need to be done to ensure that operating an accessible taxi makes economic sense.

“I believe we have to give incentive for that because it’s not an easy way to run their business,” said Coun. Duncan Wong. “It’s very expensive and we only charge the same rate. I suggest you give an incentive for those companies to have a handi-taxi to serve the community.”

Coun Andre Proulx agreed with Wong, and also with deputy mayor Les Ellsworth, who said that one accessible taxi may not be enough, though Sharpe’s memo said the operators of the previously accessible taxis said they received a maximum of two to three calls a day from people with disabilities requiring service.

“We really do need to make sure that we have a handicapped taxi,” said Proulx. “It would be nice to have two if one breaks down or for whatever reason and I do think there would probably have to be an incentive to keep them going because as a business owner it’s kind of unfair.”

Thompson resident Kristopher Blake, who uses a wheelchair, says he used the accessible taxis in winter to attend Norman Northstars hockey games and that having at least one accessible taxi is essential.

“There must be some sort

of transportation in the city of Thompson for disabled people,” said Blake. “I’d like to see it 24 hours, three drivers minimum. The only reason I say 24 hours is because of emergencies only.

Say something happens to me and I’ve got to go to the hospital right now. Of course, if it’s absolutely urgent, I’m going to call an ambulance. But if I cut my finger and need a stitch, I’m not going to call

an ambulance for that and get a bill. I’d rather call a taxi, ‘OK, I cut my finger, I need a stitch,’ and go to the hospital at two o’clock in the morning.”

Manitoba Possible, previously known as the Society for Manitobans with Disabilities, said in a statement emailed to the Thompson Citizen that having at least one accessible taxi in Thompson would be a good start.

The School District of Mystery Lake is inviting sealed bids for the purchase of the following vehicles on an “as is, where is” basis.

2002 white GMC Sierra 1500 Truck: 211,862 kms, V6 4.3L engine, 2WD, 8’ box, no safety. Reserve bid $500.00 2008 white Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Truck; 102,514 kms, V8 6.0L engine, 2WD, 8’ box, no safety.

Reserve bid $5000.00

“Public transportation remains an area that is accessibility challenged.

We support and encourage the council and taxi operators to become more and more accessible. Having a minimum of one accessible taxi operator is a start and

a step in the right direction in addressing the needs of Thompson’s residents.”

The bylaw amendment needs to pass second and third reading before it would take effect. Council’s moast recent meeting was July 13.

Rockcliff planning summer drilling program at Tower property with camp facilities and services provided by Norway House Cree Nation Rockcliff Metals Corporation has announced a summer drilling program in Northern Manitoba.

The new campaign will commence on the company’s Tower property, with 3,000 metres of drilling taking place on the site. Pending results from the drill program, Rockcliff plans on moving ahead with the site and pursuing a feasibility study and a preliminary economic analysis of the site.

With the Tower property, work on the site is continuing in consultation with Norway House Cree Nation (NHCN) and the Manitoba government as part of the provincial government’s mineral development protocol. The Tower property is located about 130 kilometres from the Bucko Mill near Wabowden near Highway 6, with part of the property Page gNHCN 10 on land. It has an
