unteers, including members of Thompson city council, hauled discarded couches, refrigerators and old television sets to the dump.

Mayor Colleen Smook said they managed to move 17 mattresses in their very first load.

Christina Thorne enlisted her daughters to help with this community cleanup event, partly because they use this route to visit family in Pikwitonei.

Thorne hypothesized that residents dump these larger items along the road as a last resort after the waste disposal grounds close at 5:45 p.m. on weekdays and 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

“But that’s no reason for anybody to dump garbage on the Jonas Road or any highway,” she said.

Smook said residents could be discarding items like mattresses along the side of the road to simply avoid the $20 processing fee at the dump.

“But the thing is, we have to pay to get rid of those mattresses,” she said. “We actually have Tree Suns shredding and we spend an excess of $100,000 getting that done and then we have to pay to get it to Winnipeg.

So do we pass that on just to our taxpayers? Every $100,000 is a one per cent tax increase.”

Nearly half of 14 people killed on Manitoba roads in first four months of 2019 were pedestrians, MPI says Six pedestrians have been killed on Manitoba roads through the first four months of 2019, Manitoba Public Insurance says.

That makes up nearly half of the 14 roadway deaths that occurred between Jan. 1 and April 30.

One of those deaths occurred in Thompson March 22 when 41-year-old Solomon McDonald of Nelson House, a father of 10, was hit and killed on Highway 391 just north of the Miles Hart Bridge in what police characterized as a hit-andrun. The collision that killed McDonald was reported to Thompson RCMP around 1 a.m. March 22. There was no vehicle at the scene when police arrived.

On average, about 12 pedestrians are killed and 130 injured on Manitoba roads in a year. About half of those pedestrians are killed at intersections, and 10 per cent are killed either

between intersections or while walking on a road.

“One death is too many,” said MPI communications vice-president Satvir Jatana in a May 9 news release.

“And with the news of these concerning numbers, there’s no better time for Manitobans to focus on road safety than Canada Road Safety Week (May 14-20).”

An enforcement-driven initiative led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, Canada Road Safety Week aims to increase safe driving to save lives and reduce injuries on Canadian roads. It is part of the broader Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2025 that hopes to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world by focusing on behaviours that put people in vehicles, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users at risk.

“This annual awareness campaign focuses on behaviours that put drivers,

Thompson Citizen file photo Solomon McDonald of Nelson House, who was killed in a hit-and-run north of Thompson March 22, is one of six pedestrians who have died on Manitoba roads in the first four months of 2019, says Manitoba Public Insurance. That is nearly half of the 14 roadway deaths that have occurred this year and about half as many as the annual average of 12 pedestrian deaths. passengers and other road users most at risk: distracted driving, impaired driving, non-seatbelt use, speeding and incidents involving vulnerable road users,” said Jatana. “Pedestrians can be particularly vulnerable since they don’t have a ton of steel protecting them like occupants within a vehicle.

Road safety is the responsibility of all Manitobans.

Behind these numbers are real lives lost and families left to deal with the senseless and often unnecessary loss of a loved one. As a community we need to start thinking differently about road safety. We need to change the conversation and create a culture where even one motor vehicle fatality is considered one too many.”

Man with loaded shotgun tackled by RCMP officers inside Gods Lake Narrows home RCMP officers tackled and disarmed a 25-year-old man holding a loaded shotgun while responding to a May 9 call in Gods Lake Narrows.

Police were called to a disturbance at a residence around 8:15 p.m. and were told that a man had assaulted another resident and was inside a room in the home. While approaching the

closed door of the room, officers heard a gun being loaded and entered quickly to find a man standing in the room with a shotgun.

The gun had a round in the chamber and additional rounds in the magazine tube.

“This was an extremely dangerous situation for our officers” said Mani-

The man is charged with multiple weapons- and assault-related charges and RCMP continue investigating.

Alcohol likely a factor in head-on collision north of Thompson that sent four people to hospital May 11 Four people were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries May 11 after a head-on collision north of Thompson in which alcohol likely played a role.

Thompson RCMP responded to the accident on Highway 391 about two kilometres north of the Miles Hart Bridge around 8 p.m. Saturday.

A northbound vehicle with one occupant and a southbound vehicle with three occupants collided, causing the southbound vehicle to roll over into the ditch on the west side of the highway. The other vehicle was found facing the wrong direction in the northbound lane.

The 29-year-old female driver of the northbound vehicle and the three occupants of the southbound vehicle were all taken to Thompson General Hospital for treatment. Alcohol impairment is suspected to have been a factor in the crash and Thompson RCMP are still investigating.

Juniper School students raised awareness of the lack of fresh water that affects many people around the world and celebrated raising enough money to dig a well in Kenya during their second-annual WE Walk for Water May 9.

“It started last year when our student council wanted to raise money for a water well in Kenya,” said Juniper principal Lucy Mayor. “We thought it would be a two-, three-year project since it’s $5,000 to purchase a well … through the WE project.

I announced it today at one o’clock that the $5,000 has been raised with all their fundraising efforts in the last 13 months.”

Grade 8 student council member Darasimi (Debby) Oluboye said she became aware of unequal access to clean water before her family immigrated to Canada from Nigeria.

“Back home we had a tap but it didn’t work,” Oluboye explains, but they were better off than some people because they had a well in their own yard.

“In the rural areas, you see a lot of people don’t have clean water. They have to

go into the river. It’s dirty water, it’s not clean water, so they have to boil their water before they drink it and some people might not even have the opportunity to be able to boil the water and some just drink it that way and that is really why I think a lot of people get sick.”

Fellow student councillor Brooke Marfoke, also in Grade 8, didn’t expect she would still be at Juniper when the well-building fundraising goal was achieved.

“I thought we’d be off to the high school by the time we had the money raised,” she said.

The $5,000 came mainly from small fundraisers.

“A lot came from the little, little things like wearing a hat for $1 or movie nights and different things like that,” Oluboye said.

“We’ve been doing lots and lots of fundraising.”

The well will be dug in a community that four Juniper staff members visited to build a school.

“Part of the experience that we did was going to fetch water, which was a whole day event, so that a family had water for the day,” said Mayor.

Access to water and other global issues like human rights are also part of the curriculum at Juniper. “[Sheri] Porth has led a lot of the human rights conversations in class with these kids,” Mayor said. “Not only is it part of the student council but it’s definitely happening in the classroom as discussions around human rights and the issues.”

Water is also the subject of inquiry projects that all of Juniper’s classes are doing this year as part of the English Language Arts curriculum.

“Each classroom will be sharing an inquiry project on June 3 about water and what they’ve learned so some of them are doing things around pollution, some just the water cycle but there will be at least 14 different projects that will be on display in our multipurpose room about what the kids have learned,” Mayor says, though identifying the issues is only one piece of the puzzle. “Teachers have zeroed in on some of the things that we want to make sure kids know and how they can do action-type things to change some of this.”

The Northern Regional health Authority’s May 10 health circus featured several games and activities to keep local children occupied, including face painting.

The health circus returns to Thompson

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The Northern Regional Health Authority (NRHA) vaccinated over 100 preschool-aged children at their Thompson administrative building May 10 as part of the organization’s annual health circus.

According to NRHA immunization co-ordinator Leslie Sraybash, this event is designed to provide local families with free access to this and other important procedures—including

dental, vision and hearing tests—in preparation for their kids entering kindergarten next fall.

Similar to what they’ve done over the past decade, the staff donned silly costumes and decorated their offices with balloons to provide a fun and welcoming environment for all visiting families. They even organized several activities like face painting to keep the children occupied while they waited for their appointments.

While pockets of Canada have had to contend with a surging anti-vaccine movement throughout the past year, leading to measles outbreaks in some cases, Sraybash said she’s encountered very little of that sentiment here in Northern Manitoba.

Regardless, she encourages any parents who missed out on Friday’s event to schedule vaccination appointments for their children by calling 204-677-5350.

President David Chartrand, the MMF Cabinet and staff continue to listen and address your important concerns, issues and opportunities. We call upon federal and provincial party leaders and their candidates to acknowledge and understand where your Métis-specific concerns fit within their party’s agenda and commitments. Some areas of importance you have expressed include:

HEALTH AND WELLNESS HOUSING EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT LAND USE AND RIGHTS CULTURAL PROTECTIONS

The health circus has been a staple at the Thompson branch of the Northern Regional Health Authority for at least the last decade.

YOUTH, CHILDREN AND SENIORS The Métis Government will keep you posted on all the political party agendas, announcements and commitments. Stay tuned!

Thompson 2020 provides update as initiative enters its final stage Project manager says they want to wrap up short-term objectives and finalize roadmap for long-term sustainability by the end of the year

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Ever since Thompson 2020 hosted their soft launch back in June 2017, its members have consistently maintained that this project is meant to be temporary.

Over the next two-anda-half years, the group pledged to spearhead a variety of short-term initiatives that would help locals contend with the impending job loses that were coming down the pipe from Vale.

However, with eight months left to go before they reach the finish line, project manager Harold Smith reiterated that their goal has always been securing Thompson’s economic viability well into the future.

“One of the stories that we’re telling is that when Thompson was established it was pretty much 100 per cent a mining community,” he told the Thompson Citizen on May 7. “But from day one that started to change ever so slowly, to the point where now we’re a northern service centre that has partnerships and provides services to a population of approximately 55,000 people.”

Proposed bylaw amendment to allow extra pet permit heading back to committee for modifications

BY KYLE DARBYSON

KYLE@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

In April, the city’s public safety committee approved amendments to their pet ownership bylaw, which would double the amount of dogs and cats Thompson residents are allowed to own per household from two and three to four and six.

But before the amendments were brought to council for first reading, the bylaw was back in front of the committee May 9 over concerns that it conflicted with provincial legislation.

Veterinarian Jennifer Nyhof, owner of the Thompson Veterinary Clinic, told the committee she was worried

about the section of the bylaw saying that the city’s animal control officer must conduct a house inspection before each excess animal permit is approved.

Nyhof believes that such an action could violate the province’s Veterinary Medical Act without the involvement of a licensed veterinarian.

“That process of determining whether or not an animal is healthy or not healthy requires extensive training, education and experience and it can be extremely subjective,” she said. “And, in my opinion, it may fall into the scope of veterinary medicine through the Veterinary Medical Act,

Nyhof offered to provide her services to the city free of charge throughout this whole permitting process.
