Eastwood apartment tenants evicted from buildings on Carleton Place and Cornell Place at the end of May so renovations can take place say their only option is to live in Forest View Suites, which is a step down from their previous homes.

“There is no stability.

People come and go as they please, do whatever they want in those two buildings,” said Bertha Muswagon, who is currently staying with her brother in Cross Lake after having been forced to give up her apartment at 6 Carleton Place May 31. “I would like something stable so I can sleep peacefully and go to work in the morning.”

Armour Property Management is currently renovating 100 units in four apartment buildings on Carleton and Cornell, at a total cost of about $7 million, says company president Mike Romani. Work should be done by the end of the year.

In order to complete these renovations, Armour ordered almost all of its tenants out of these rental units by May 31. Despite getting the legally required three months’ notice, some residents were still left scrambling to find new places to stay.

Romani said these people were given the opportunity to occupy apartments in Forest View Suites (formerly known as Princeton Towers)

However, for some tenants, this does not represent a permanent solution to their housing situation.

Since leaving her old apartment at the end of May, Muswagon resisted the offer to live in Forest View, given its growing reputation for poor maintenance and lax security. Muswagon is also reluctant to continue renting from Armour, since she said the company still hasn’t returned her damage deposit from 6 Carleton Place or fulfilled their promise to provide her with

$500 in moving assistance.

Despite these reservations, Muswagon admitted that she is going to accept an apartment in Forest View’s south tower this upcoming fall, since she has to return to Thompson to start her job as a daycare worker once again.

“I don’t have any other choice,” she said July 12. “I don’t have anywhere else.

Everyone else is full.”

Former 6 Carleton Place resident Kathleen Joan Moose accepted a two-bedroom apartment in Forest View’s south tower following the May 31 deadline, since it was the

RCMP responded to more than twice as many calls to Forest View Suites in June of this year than in 2018

Forest View Suites, formerly known as Princeton Towers, is a hot spot not only for fire and ambulance calls but for RCMP responses as well.

For the first three months of 2019, about a third of calls to Thompson Fire & Emergency Services (TFES) came from the two nine-floor apartment buildings on Princeton Drive.

In June of this year, the Thompson RCMP responded to 143 complaints at the apartment complex, compared to 64 in the same month of 2018.

“This does not include other physical attendance at

these buildings themselves (arrests, file follow-up, curfew checks, etc.),” Manitoba RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Julie Courchaine said.

At a June 13 public safety committee meeting, Coun.

Duncan Wong asked if the TFES’s monthly reports about fire responses and ambulance calls could be broken down to show how many times firefighter/ paramedics were called to specific addresses in the city. TFES Chief Mike Bourgon said it was possible but there might be some concern about singling out specific properties, prompting committee chair Coun. Jeff Fountain to suggest that perhaps the

data could be provided for in-camera discussion.

TFES Deputy Chief Steve Molloy said during the June meeting that Forest View Suites would be receiving monthly inspections by TFES due to ongoing safety and health concerns, such as elevators that are frequently not working and urine and feces in the building’s common areas. He said that fines levied on Armour Property Management, which has been managing the buildings for the last year or so, have been falling on deaf ears. Asked by Mayor Colleen Smook how important it was for the elevators to be working, Molloy said it was extremely important,

noting that a TFES crew had recently had to transport a patients down seven flights of stairs in a stair chair because the elevators were not working.

“Is it getting any better?” said Molloy. “No, it’s not.

In fact, in my personal opinion, it’s getting worse.”

Coun. Judy Kolada said that work orders and deadlines can be given to start the process of eventually redirecting rent away from the buildings’ owners and directly to the Residential Tenancies Branch. Bourgon noted that fixing the problems at Forest View Suites would require the commitment of multiple agencies, not just the city.

easiest option available to her. However, she said her current living situation is less than ideal.

“That building is disgusting. Garbage all over. The elevators are always stuck,” she said. “When you come in and out keys don’t work most of the time and they hurt your fingers. Everything is awful there in that building. I can’t wait to move out.”

But Moose isn’t returning to her former building once the renovations are wrapped up. Despite being a resident of Thompson for around 30 years, she’s planning on moving to Winnipeg by the end of July to live with her daughter.

“I am really sad. I didn’t really want to move but I’m tired of this,” said Moose, describing the ongoing challenges of living at Forest View. “My window screens are not up. I can’t even open my windows. I can’t even cook here because the fire alarm is so sensitive, so I eat at work.”

Muswagon hopes that

her upcoming stay at Forest View will only be only temporary and says she will constantly be on the hunt for better housing opportunities within her price range.

Romani says that there are plenty of affordable housing options available in Thompson if these tenants check the right boxes.

“If they’re a good tenant and they have income and they can show that they can prove to pay their rent, or if they’re on assistance from the government and they’ve got the proper paperwork, there’s a lot of places in Thompson that I can send them to that has vacancy,” he said.

A Residential Tenancies Branch (RTB) representative said anyone with questions about the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords, including scenarios where they are ordered out of their apartments or houses, should contact the RTB’s Thompson office at 204-677-6496 or by email at rtbthompson@gov.mb.ca.

Overall vacancy rate in Thompson approached double digits in last fall’s rental market survey

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The overall vacancy rate for apartments and townhouses in Thompson October 2018 was 9.2 per cent, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) reported last fall, but for some types of rental units it was as high as 18 per cent.

Two-bedroom apartments had the lowest vacancy rate at 7.4 per cent, while 8.2 per cent of one-bedroom apartments were unoccupied. Rental units with three or more bedrooms, in row or townhouse complexes, had a vacancy rate of about 18 per cent.

The survey was based on 1.928 rental unites, including 844 two-bedroom apartments, 719 one-bedroom apartments, 317 rental units with three or more bedrooms and 48 bachelor suites.

The average monthly rental cost of a bachelor suite was $738, while one-bedroom apartment had an average monthly rent of $825. Average rent for a two-bedroom apartment was $936 and rental units with three or more bedrooms cost an average of $1,111 per month. The overall average rent for an apartment in Thompson was $922.

Rents for a given size of apartment can vary considerably, however. The first quartile (midway between the lowest number in a group of numbers and the median, or midway point) average for all apartment rents was $769 per month, ranging from $576 for a bachelor suite to $954 for a threeplus bedroom suite. The median price of apartments was $750 for a bachelor suite, $850 for a one-bedroom, $961 for a two-bedroom and $1,066 for three-plus bedroom suites. The third quartile (the midway point between the median and the highest number in a group of numbers) ranged from $850 for a bachelor suite to $1,200 for a three-plus bedroom suite.

Ponton service station burnt down nearly a year ago is unfortunate, Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler told Mayor Colleen Smook in a July 3 letter, but the province isn’t willing to do more than perhaps put up some signs warning drivers to go now or prepare to hold their pee.

Schuler was responding to a May 10 letter from Smook about the distance between restrooms along Highway 6.

“Manitoba Infrastructure acknowledges that remoteness and longer distances between communities in the north has always been a challenge,” said Schuler.

“Devil’s Lake Wayside Park and other wayside parks have been closed for several years now. Unfortunately, vandalism and cleanliness were issues that made wayside parks at these locations difficult to sustain.”

Since the Ponton gas station at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 39 burnt down last July 28, travellers between Thompson and southern Manitoba have had to endure a 225-kilometre stretch between Wabowden and Grand Rapids with nowhere to fill up their car or empty their own tank. South of Grand Rapids, it’s about 175 kilometres to reach businesses with washrooms at St. Martin Junction.

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Manitoba 511 A long way not to go: since the Ponton service station at the junction of Highway 6 and Highway 39 burnt down nearly a year ago, motorists headed to or from Thompson have faced a 225-kilometre stretch of road between Wabowden and Grand Rapids without anywhere to gas up or go to the bathroom.

“It is very unfortunate that the Ponton service station burnt down last summer,” said Schuler. “Providing facilities for use by the public at such locations is typically a service that would be provided by the private sector. If a private entity wanted to provide

services at Devil’s Lake or at Ponton, Manitoba Infrastructure would certainly consider supporting where appropriate.”

The infrastructure minister said travellers should be made aware of the long distances between destinations and that department

staff would review signs between Thompson and Grand Rapids as well as south of Grand Rapids to ensure they provide adequate information.

“If additional signs are warranted, they will be installed as soon as possible,” said Schuler.

140 days of bus service cost city $182,000

Thompson Citizen file photo Maple Bus Lines received about $182,000 from the City of Thompson to operate city transit between Feb. 11, when service resumed after a suspension of more than three months, and June 30, the last day it ran before being suspended indefinitely again pending a possible new agreement with a private operator.

BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The city spent nearly $182,000 to provide transit services from mid-February to June 30, when local buses were suspended indefinitely again pending a possible new service contract.

The city hasn’t released the cost of the transit contract publicly, but payments to Maple Bus Lines, which was awarded the contract at the end of January, on cheque registers reviewed by council monthly show that it received $181,896.22 in payments from February

to June, though some are for smaller amounts that may be unrelated to providing transit services.

The city has not yet responded to requests for information about how many riders took the bus between Feb. 11, when service resumed, and June 30, when it ended, or how much they collected in bus fares during that time. It has not yet publicly disclosed the costs for bus service and the amount of fares collected and number of riders for the 11 months that transit was running in 2018, before

$60,450. Then-mayor Tom Farrell said at that time that he expected there to be a one-month suspension of service before a new operator could be found. In fact, a decision on whether to even continue having a city bus service was not

made until a referendum was held on the same day as the municipal election that Oct. 26 (residents voted 1,947-1,116 in favour of bus service) and a new operator had not been found by the time New Year’s Eve arrived.

PESTICIDE CONTROL PROGRAM PUBLIC NOTICE

In fulfillment of Nisokapawino Forestry Management Corporation’s (NFMC) obligation for renewal of harvest blocks, a pesticide application program to manage competing vegetation is part of the 2019-2021 Forest Management Operating Plan. This is an annual occurrence.

One of our obligations is to ensure that harvested softwood dominated forest stands re-establish as softwood dominated stands. Maintaining previous forest conditions provides for the sustainability of plant and wildlife species in the Forest Management License Area. As a follow up to renewal activities such as tree-planting, the application of the herbicide Visionmax (glyphosate) is used to control hardwood and broadleaf shrubs to allow for the re-establishment of boreal softwood forest stands.

Portions of some previously harvested blocks near the following locations will have herbicide activities take place: Three Finger Road, Sherridon Road, Faye Lake Road, Syme Lake Road, Vamp Lake Road, Kississing Road, Hobbit Road, Duval Road, PTH 10 (east of Kississing Road junction), Athapap Road, Sturgeon Landing Road, Atik Road, Long Lake Road, Halfway Road, Lesko Road, Mitchell Lake Road, Beach Ridge Road, PR 287, PR 384, Crossing Bay Road, Okaw Road, Talbot Road, Baril Road, William Lake Road, Rib Winter Road, PR 282 at PTH 10, PTH 60 at Ripper’s point Winter Road junction, Buzz Lake Winter Road, PR 596, PTH 6 at PTH 39 junction, PR 373 at Thicket Road junction, South Jonas, Buckingham Lake Road, PTH 6 (between the South Jonas and North Jonas junctions), Wintering Peninsula Road.

Any person may, within 15 days of publication of this notice, send written submissions regarding the control program, or register their written objection to the use of pesticide next to their property, to the department below. This program will take place during the period of August 15th to September 30th of 2019.

This is to aid in the safety for both the residents of Thompson as well as City crews. Vehicles found parked on the streets will be ticketed.

Greyhound shut down its operations in Western Canada and stopped providing buses, drivers and maintenance services to the City of Thompson on a contract basis.

The School District of Mystery Lake paid $7,839 to the city for bus fares on behalf of students who took the bus without paying in February and March. That works out to about 5,200 round trips at a cost of $1.50 each way.

In 2017, the city paid Greyhound $424,192.12 for its services and collected

$95,842.20 in bus fares from roughly 53,000 riders, mostly during the school year.

That means the cost to the city of operating the transit system was approximately $328,000, more than it had been during a five-year agreement with Greyhound from 2011 through 2015, when the average annual cost was about $273,000.

If the costs of the temporary contract with Maple Bus Lines for four-and-ahalf months this year were applied for a whole year, the city would spend $474,230 for transit service, minus any fares collected, which is about 12 per cent higher than what it paid Greyhound in 2017 before collected fares were deducted.

Thompson was without bus service from Nov. 1 of last year to Feb. 10 of this year. If service resumes in September, which the city says is the plan, though no firm date or date of any kind for this to happen has been set, Thompson will have had bus service for 140 of 304 days dating back to Nov. 1, minus any holidays when buses didn’t run.

This isn’t the first time in Thompson’s history that bus riders have left to their own devices. Bus service was suspended in April 1977 when Ken Thiessen, owner of the original Thompson Bus Lines, which had operated local transit since 1975, rejected the city’s offer of an operating subsidy of

Thompson Citizen photos by Ian Graham A Burntwood area gardener, who wishes to remain anonymous, invited the Thompson Citizen into his garden July 12 to take a look at his bumper crop of homegrown treats, including a prodigious zucchini.

Float plane crashes while taking off near Little Grand Rapids Injured pilot rescued by police and paramedics in forest firefighting helicopter that was in the area

RCMP photos

A float plane pilot suffered non-life-threatening injuries July 11 when his plane crashed while he was taking off near Little Grand Rapids.

A float plane pilot was rescued by helicopter north of Little Grand Rapids July 11 after crashing into a rocky shoreline while trying to take off.

Little Grand Rapids RCMP

were alerted around 5 p.m. about the crash and injured pilot on Fedirchyk Lake, about 12 kilometres southwest of Little Grand Rapids. RCMP officers and paramedics were trans-

ported to the site by helicopter at 5:30 p.m. The pilot was located conscious around 5:45 p.m. and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No one else was on board the

plane at the time of the crash.

“It was fortunate that a helicopter was at the Little Grand Rapids airport assisting Manitoba Sustainable Development with local forest fires,” said

Sgt. Glen Binda, Little Grand Rapids RCMP detachment commander. “Their help was essential in the rescue due to the remote location of the lake.

Working collaboratively with

Manitoba Sustainable Development was critical for a successful outcome.”

RCMP and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada continue to investigate.

Churchill and Churchill-Keewatinook Aski have been captured by NDP in every election except one since 1979, when teacher Rod Murphy won election.

Nationwide, 338 is predicting a minority Conservative government as

the most likely result as of June 30, with about a 62 per cent chance of the Conservatives winning the most seats. The national polling puts the Conservatives and Liberals in a near dead heat in the overall popular vote at about 33 per cent each.

While an election date has not yet been confirmed, the next federal election will take place either on or before Oct. 21.
