New plan is to fund sewage treatment plant with water rate rider and frontage fee

GRAND OPENING! SEE PAGE 16 FOR DETAILS

Sacrifices remembered

The City of Thompson is seeking to fund its share of a new wastewater treatment plant through a combination of a rate rider and frontage rate.

The proposed local improvement plan, which is still subject to approval by council, seeks to attach a rate rider of $0.58 per cubic metre of water consumption on top of regular rates for the period from 2019 to 2043. That rate rider would be subject to approval by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) of Manitoba.

The frontage rate would be applied at a rate of $0.81 per foot of frontage – the boundary between a property and the road on which it is

situated – payable annually for the years 2019 to 2043.

There would also be an option for property owners to pay $10.39 per foot of frontage up front. The frontage rate would be applicable to a minimum of 50 feet and a maximum of 80 feet for Class 10/11 residential properties with five dwelling units or less and to a minimum of 50 feet and a maximum of 500 feet for all other types of properties, including residential properties with five or more dwelling units, condo co-op housing, institutional properties and commercial properties. The city expects that the water consumption rate rider will fund 75 per

to submit an application to the PUB seeking approval in principle for debenture recovery through a utility rate rider at council’s Nov. 14 meeting.

Coun. Duncan Wong and Coun. Ron Matechuk opposed the resolution.

“I don’t believe frontage of a property has anything to do with how much you’re going to flush your toilet,” said Matechuk prior to the vote.

Coun. Penny Byer said any method chosen to repay the sewage treatment debt would be perceived as unfair by some people.

“Through discussions with people who we’ve contracted to do this work for us, this is the direction that it appears the Public Utilities Board will accept, accept,” she said.

“If we continue to not get Public Utilities Board approval we’re going to be pushing back the construction date of that wastewater treatment plant and we cannot afford to do that either financially or from an environmental point of view.”

The city had previously sought to fund its share of the cost of the new sewage treatment plant by charging either a one-time fee or instalments over 25 years based on the size of water meters.

The Municipal Board shot down that local improvement plan Aug. 30 because the method of calculating how much individual property owners would pay wasn’t fair.

cent of its $12,167,000 share of the new sewage treatment plant, which is expected to cost $36,500,000 in total, with the federal and provincial governments having committed to paying onethird of the cost each. The frontage rate is expected to account for the other 25 per cent of that debt.

“We’ve been advised that to put all of your potential revenue in one basket, one source of revenue, is not advisable and that the board would want to see some guarantee of annual income against the cost,” said Mayor Dennis Fenske during discussion of a resolution to approve city administration

Mayor Dennis Fenske nominated seven of the eight Thompson councillors, with the lone exception being Coun. Duncan Wong, to chair standing committees for the upcoming year at council’s annual organizational meeting Nov. 2.

Deputy mayor Kathy Valentino will continue in that role for the upcoming year after Coun. Colleen Smook declined Fenske’s offer of the deputy mayor’s role due to family commitments. The mayor also appointed Coun. Judy Kolada as the chair of the human resources committee, Coun.

Blake Ellis as the chair of the public safety committee for the third consecutive year, Coun. Dennis Foley to continue in the role as chair of the recreation and community services committee that he has held for the first two years of this council term, Coun. Ron Matechuk as chair of the development and review committee as well as Coun.

Penny Byer as communications committee chair. Valentino was also appointed as chair of the legislative and intergovernmental affairs committee, which is an automatic appointment for the deputy mayor under the term’s of council’s organizational bylaw.

“I look forward to continuing on,” said Valentino.

“Being the deputy mayor and also being a councillor especially this past year I certainly have had the op-

portunity to learn about all the AGMs and the associations and the events that take place in our great city and I encourage all of us councillors for all those emails we get and all those invitations, really take advantage of it because I certainly this year learned the great people we have in our community and all the great organizations and things that take place.”

“Kathy did a wonderful job last year and just with family commitments right at this moment, we’ve had a few extra added, and with my work expected this spring I respectfully turn it down,” said Smook. “It was something I’ve always wanted to do so it was with sort of a heavy heart that I did turn it down.”

Council-elected members to the standing committee included Valentino for human resources, Matechuk for public works and infrastructure, Smook for public safety, Ellis and Byer for legislative and intergovernmental affairs, Kolada for development review, and Foley for communications, all of whom received those roles via acclamation. Byer was also voted in as a member of the finance and administration committee, defeating Wong in a secret ballot vote. Wong will not serve on any committees after declining a nomination to the development review committee.

Council unanimously passed a resolution appointing Kolada, Ellis, Valentino and Foley to the

board of revision, with Foley as chairperson, as well as another resolution designating signing authority on behalf of the city to any two of the following: chief financial officer Jenny Krentz, assistant financial officer Gail Taylor, finance project specialist Carol Taylor, Fenske, city manager Gary Ceppetelli and Valentino. A resolution ratifying all the appointments to the committees also passed unanimously.

Fences preceded the appointments and elections by reflecting on the positive changes and challenges council has faced since their previous organizational meeting.

“I am confident that we will continue to work on being the most inclusive, caring and progressive community that we can be to the benefit of all, said Fenske in closing his speech. “I would like to again encourage residents to be involved with the municipal process of governing. Council provides governance and sets policy, administration supports the governance decisions and carries them out by implementing policies.

Residents – and this is the most important part – provide constructive feedback so that council and staff can affirm or adjust the direction that we are guiding the community forward. If we all work together it will be to the benefit of everyone both in the community and the surrounding region.”

Wapanohk honours oft-forgotten aboriginal veterans

THE SALVATION ARMY CHRISTMAS KETTLE CAMPAIGN

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Wapanohk Community School hosted its annual ceremony in honour of National Aboriginal Veterans Day Nov. 8, recognizing the contributions of Canada’s indigenous population to the armed forces both today and in the past.

Wapanohk principal Kathleen Kelson opened ceremonies with a speech translated into Cree by vice-principal Selena Dumas.

“We honour our aboriginal veterans today, as many gave up their treaty rights and died for Canada to save our country,” declared Kelson. “We must respect our veterans and hold them dear to our hearts.”

Dignitaries present that morning included elder Nelson Clement, Churchill-Keewatinook Aski MP Niki Ashton, Stacey Martin representing Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle, June Bourguignon of the Royal Canadian Legion, Special Const. Rob Cleveland and Insp. Dave Shuttleworth of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, deputy mayor Kathy Valentino, Julyda Lagimodiere of the Manitoba Metis Federation, Leslie Tucker and Angele Bartlett of the School District of Mystery Lake, Ryan Land of Vale Manitoba Operations, Wayne Constant of Manitoba Hydro), Thompson Fire & Emergency Services deputy chief Rick Morris, Manitoba, Kelvin Lynxleg of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak and Brenda Firman of the University College of the North.

Martha Laubmann was scheduled to represent local aboriginal veteran Percy Laubmann. However, due to health complications, neither could attend. Instead, Bruce Moncur, an Afghanistan veteran who recently moved to Thompson, was invited to share his experiences.

Moncur served with the Canadian Armed Forces for several years before being severely wounded in Operation

Medusa, through which Canada established initial control over Kandahar province. He recalled serving with many aboriginal soldiers overseas: he singled out Jason Funnell, a personal friend who received Canada’s secondhighest honour for military service, the medal of military honour, for endangering his own life to save others during the same operation in 2007.

For much of Canada’s history, Moncur noted, military service for indigenous individuals was thankless work. “135,000 Canadians lost their lives in World War II, thousands of them indigenous, to protect our country. But I also know that until 1960, many didn’t have the right to vote. Can you imagine signing up to serve your country, coming home, and not being able to vote for another 15 years afterwards?”

Martin noted that the provincial government was honouring Sgt. Thomas “Tommy” Prince, who had served in both the Second World War and the Korean War, and was Canada’s most decorated indigenous veteran, with the unveiling of a plaque at the legislature in Winnipeg

on Tuesday. Prince, Martin noted, “had a strong sense of duty, and a fierce pride in his people,” and served to show Canadian society what aboriginal people were capable of contributing to the Canadian enterprise.

But Prince’s return home was characterized by racism and resentment, and the thanks he has received for his service has come late. “We need to learn from that history, and make sure we work with veterans when they come home,” said Ashton Lynxleg implored the youth present not to waste the sacrifice of Canada’s veterans, aboriginal or otherwise.

“We have a bright future ahead of us. You have a bright future ahead of you. Every day you can wake up and make good decisions, because our ancestors and other citizens fought for us so that we could make those choices today.”

The presentations also featured performances from students, including a Cree rendition of “Amazing Grace” by the Grade 6 classes, as well as a reading of “In Flanders Fields” and a singing of “The Strangest Dream” by Jacqueline Lafreniere’s Grade 4 class.

Students remember veterans at RDPC

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

R. D. Parker Collegiate hosted its annual Remembrance Day ceremony the morning of Nov. 10, honouring past and present veterans of the Canadian forces.

Students took turns presenting Canada’s many martial tragedies, like the Battle of the Somme (including Beaumont Hamel, where nearly the entire Newfoundland regiment had been wiped out in roughly half an hour) as well as its accomplishments, such as the taking of Vimy Ridge, which some RDPC students will be visiting this academic year. Accompanying the speeches were brief audiovisual presentations.

Carl Laubmann spoke on behalf of Percy Laubmann, a veteran from Pikwitonei who could not be present due to health complications.

Percy Laubmann joined the military for the opportunity to travel and served in the Korean War, where he took instruction in Chinese combat tactics from Tommy Prince, Canada’s most decorated aboriginal soldier. “He remembers the days in service as exciting; he enjoyed the experience,” Carl Laubmann recalled.

Throughout his service, Percy Laubmann earned several honours, including the United Nations medal, the Volunteer Service medal and the Canadian Korea medal.

Editorial

Painful but fair

I

t likely won’t make anybody happy regardless, but the City of Thompson’s new plan to fund its share of the cost of a new sewage treatment plant, mainly by attaching a rate rider of 58 cents per cubic metre of water consumption over 25 years, is fairer than the previous plan based on water meter sizes.

Based on the proposed 2019 rates in the city’s water rate application study that was presented at a public hearing in September and has yet to be submitted to or approved by the Public Utilities Board, the additional rate rider would raise the cost of water in 2019 from $2.92 per cubic metre to $3.50, about a 20 per cent increase. In addition, taxpayers would pay a frontage rate that could range from a low of about $40 to a high of about $400 per year from 2019 to 2043 – a total of $1,000 to $10,000. Alternatively, property owners could prepay $10.39 per frontage foot up front, which would cost anywhere from about $520 to $5,200 depending upon the size of the property. This is less than the upfront payments or cumulative total over 25 years would have been in the previous plan.

The previous plan was rejected because it wasn’t fair, as the cost to a given property depended the size of a property’s water meter rather than the actual amount of water used. If the new funding plan is approved, those who use more water will pay more of the cost of the new sewage treatment plant. Nobody is looking forward to paying more for water over the course of a quartercentury, but at least it does seem fair.

Letter to the Editor

Unwieldy name defeats purpose of branding To the Editor: I read the article on Nov. 9 headlined “From TRCC to VRCC.” Huh? Really?

First, let’s be thankful that Vale has made a major donation to Thompson’s recreation centre.

But recognizing a major donor by labelling a facility with a corporate name that ends up with confusing initials is a disappointment and serves no one well.

My company has been in the marketing and branding expertise for over 40 years. In the field of Naming 101, there are reasons why you do not want to name a new business with your personal name, nor do you want to use just initials.

They are anonymous, confusing, institutional and carry no brand message. Of course, if you are a non-profit entity in the marketplace or public facility, you can call it whatever you want

Lynn Taylor Publisher

regardless how bad the name is.

Many non-profit organizations, government agencies or services always start with long descriptive names that are formulated initially by administrators who have little understanding of the power or need for good marketing and strong brand management. A multi-worded name (three to five words) will always be too long to say, too long to write, and even to remember. It invariably ends up being reduced to initials.

You may get away with two or three initials, if you are IBM (International Business Machines), RCA (Radio Corporation of America), 3M (Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing), and have been around for 100-plus years and spent tens of millions of dollars on marketing and promotion. It did work for INCO (International Nickel

Company of Canada Ltd), where the acronym became a simple word that was easy to say and remember and was very distinctive.

When INCO became CVRD Inco, staff and the public still referred to the company as simply Inco.

When a world-class design agency rebranded CVRD Inco to simply Vale (one word, two syllables), the transition was quick and almost seam-

less.

Over the years in Thompson, do you remember or know what organizations these represent?

BRHA, TRAA, NCDC, NAPHWI, CEDF, BCHRC, TLSM, NRHA, TNRC, TCDC, GRTCA, TCF, BDC, TRCC. And now VRCC? I am not criticizing the good work or service these entities provide, but to say that anonymous initials confuse

youngsters, immigrants, visitors, non-Englishspeaking people and newcomers. Why would you want to do that?

Would you say to your six-year-old child “Let’s have fun today and go skating at VRCC?” Would you child understand you better if you just said, “Let’s have fun today and go skating at the rink? ” Because that is what will happen, and all the brand value for Vale will be lost.

There are small green traffic signs, which hardly anyone sees, that are bolted to lamp poles on Thompson Drive at entrance to University College of the North Drive (see photo). It says TRCC/ ARENA with an arrow pointing to the entrance.

It must have been installed by city employees to provide direction. Yet, someone felt that TRCC was not clear enough and added the word arena.

Point made!

Surely, to recognize Vale for their financial

contribution, having a simple, unique name that is recognizable and memorable to any age group would be beneficial. Instead of Vale Regional Community Centre (four words, 11 syllables), it could be as simple as Vale Centre (two words, four syllables) or Valeplex (“Val-lay-plex” – one word, three syllables) or ... ?

Thompson needs to strive for marketing excellence here and in other areas instead of accepting mediocrity. A new name for Thompson’s primary recreation facility that gathers public audiences, caters to families enjoying events and where proud parents go to watch their children perform, deserves to be better named than being heard in public and in the media as VRCC, where people will forever respond with “Huh?”

The benefits of proper breathing

NOTICE OF PUBLIC AUCTION SALE OF LANDS FOR ARREARS OF TAXES CITY OF THOMPSON

BY KYLIE MATECHUK As a yoga teacher, a lot of what I offer in my teachings is how to understand and control your breathing. Most people don’t really place a lot of value in this tool because we all already breathe. It is the control and the quality of the breath that we focus on in the yoga practice. And of course what we practise in yoga should benefit us off the mat even more. The breath control (or pranayama as the actual term) not only helps us go deeper in our yoga postures, it has a multitude of benefits that should be widely known to every single person.

Off the mat benefits of pranayama: Expands and strengthens the lungs by breathing into the lower lobes through diaphragm breathing. (Most of us are chest breathers.)

Helps us to control our situation. When feeling excited, anxious, angry or panicked, we need to turn to our breath to be able to take a few moments to deal with our emotions.

Helps with sleep quality.

Granted there are a lot of yoga poses, albeit the entire practice of yoga, that help with sleep quality, but nothing compares to proper breath control. Deep belly breathing increases the amount of oxygen in the blood and to the brain.

Helps with flexibility. Try standing up and touching your toes without thinking. You probably held your breath, were far away from your toes, and maybe even felt a little dizzy, or there was pressure in your head.

Now try bringing your arms up at the same time as taking a huge breath in through your nose, now exhale and come down. Take your hands to your shins and breathe in again to look up, breathe out to go lower.

Continue this for as many days, weeks or months before the hamstrings and spine become a little longer with practice. The secret?

The breath. This is applied to every single yoga posture.

Breath is life. It is vitality.

I always tell people that tell me they can’t do yoga - go outside and just breathe.

If you’re in a hospital bed or bed ridden at home prop open a window and just breathe. In through the nose (never ever the mouth) and out through the mouth. The nose is made to filter air, the mouth is not. The breaths become longer, deeper and more beneficial when taken in through the nose. Try to pull the air in through the throat (it kind of sounds like ocean waves) and not a sniffing sound in the nose, and then exhale out the mouth while saying “ha.”

The “ha” sound should

“Your snow... gotta go”

Twenty per cent of tourism development funding goes to northern organizations much more to see and do in this province. The tourism development grants will help both attract attention and more visitors.” Tourism gen-

erates about $1.6 billion per year in economic activity in Manitoba, including seasonal and permanent jobs, the provincial government says.

Manitoba Hydro has applied for Crown land permits and plans to widen existing transmission line right-of-way (ROW) easements in winter 2016/17. Widening activities will be done to allow for safe helicopter access to remote portions of the ROW during emergency situations and to minimize vegetation from interfering with the safe operation of the transmission line.

said Growth, Enterprise and Trade Minister Cliff Cullen in a Nov. 9 news release. “The Tourism Development Fund is set up to assist communities and local organizations in expanding and promoting their unique Manitoba stories. These grants will help local communities improve the experience of visitors to all parts of our magnificent province, which will in turn contribute to the significant and growing impact the tourism industry has on our province’s economy.”The Progressive Conservative government announced earlier this year that tourism development grant funding would increase by more than 50 per cent to $297,000 for 2016-17 and Cullen noted that the six northern organizations that were successful in the grant applications received a combined total of $63,125. which is more than 20 per cent of the total for the province as a whole.“These grants will help the regional tourism industry to promote unique tourism experiences throughout the province,” said Colin Ferguson, president and CEO of Travel Manitoba. “In addition to the major tourist attractions, there is so

Six northern organizations, including three in Thompson, are among 29 recipients of tourism development fund grants from the provincial government for 2016-17.

The Thompson Chamber of Commerce is receiving $14,625 toward the development of a Thompson tourism strategy, while Spirit Way Inc. is getting $8,500 to create a Wolf Centre of Excellence strategic plan and the Thompson Zoological Society is receiving $7,500 for the Boreal Discovery Centre aquarium program.

Other Northern Manitoba grant recipients include the Churchill Ladies Club, which is getting $10,000 for a Churchill augmented reality app, Tourism North, which is getting $15,000 for a Snow Lake to Elbow Lake snowmobile trail connection, and the Town of Lynn Lake, which will receive $7,500 for its museum revitalization project.

All told, the 29 grant recipients are receiving $281,254.

The grant amounts range form a low of $2,500 to as much as $25,000.

The Thompson Boys & Girls Club hosted its annual general meeting Nov. 4, outlining the year’s achievements.

The 2016-17 board of directors includes president Ron Dearman, vice-president Matthew Boscariol, treasurer Shelly Anderson, secretary Allison Coles, and members at large Uriah Butler, Nathan Richardson and Melissa Branconnier.

Boscariol held up the opening of the new Eastwood satellite location as a crown achievement of 2015-16: “As a board, we’re really excited with regards to servicing that area, and being a more prominent presence. We’re really empowering our staff, and the kids that we’re servicing.”

Executive director Regina DaSilva-Gibbons noted that the two locations had unique demographics, with the Eastwood location having a younger female demographic, while the main location saw older males.

The two locations combined host an average of 45 children every day.

DaSilva Gibbons lamented the loss of after-school director Christa Herkert, without whom the Boys & Girls Club could not organize the annual haunted house this year. The garden, on the other hand, survived Herkert’s departure, and DaSilva-Gibbons noted that the garden produced a strong yield, “despite our greenhouse becoming a bit of a target.”

Double-digit victories for dominant King Miners

BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The midget AA Thompson King Miners scored early and often in a pair of home games against the Cross Lake Islanders Nov. 12-13, finishing the weekend with a pair of shutout victories by margins of 18-0 and 12-0.

The King Miners went up 3-0 in the first nine minutes Nov. 12, with Oscar Lafreniere opening the scoring less than four minutes in, Armando Evans doubling the lead at the five-minute mark and Chase Gurniak adding the third when he picked up the puck off an offensive zone faceoff and slid it between the Islanders’ netminder’s pads with 11:06 left in the opening period. Trent North and Dallas

Spence also scored before the end of the opening frame and Gurniak added his second to leave Thompson up 6-0 at the first intermission.

North would finish the game with five goals, while Gurniak, Saunders and Spence recorded hat tricks.

Lafreniere finished with two goals and Logan Evans had a single. Kenton Brass made 10 saves in Thompson’s net for the shutout, while the King Miners recorded 63 shots. Cross Lake’s Colby Moore allowed 12 goals on 38 shots in 40 minutes in net while Peter Ross surrendered six goals on 25 shots in 20 minutes.

The King Miners were nearly as effective in the first period of Sunday’s game, with Logan Evans

scoring once and Saunders and North twice each for a 5-0 first intermission lead.

Saunders finished the game with four goals while North had a hat trick. Other scorers were Gurniak with a pair, and Kendall Anderson and Justin Spence with singles.

Kruz Mitchell only had to stop four shots in Thompson’s net for the win and the shutout, while Ross made 55 saves in a losing cause in the Islanders’ net.

The King Miners are currently first in the Norman Minor Hockey Association midget AA league standings with a 4-0 record for eight points, one ahead of the Norway House North Stars, who are 3-2-1 through six games.

Thompson Citizen photo by Ian Graham Jonathan Saunders had seven goals in two games Nov. 12-13 as the Thompson King Miners defeated the Cross Lake Islanders 18-0 and 12-0 in Thompson.

Northstars win third straight game, fall just shy of fourth

BY KACPER ANTOSZEWSKI KACPER@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

After an ecstatic double win against Interlake Lightning Nov. 5-6, the Norman Northstars weren’t prepared to let go of the fans’ expectations last weekend either, recording a commanding 6-1 victory over the Kenora Thistles on Saturday night, before losing 4-2 on Sunday afternoon.

It would be the Thistles that would open Saturday’s game with a goal at 9:07 from Colton Yaremko, but the Northstars would thoroughly control the ice from there on in: after a single first-period goal from Dennis Scatch, the team would seal their lead with four uninterrupted goals throughout the second period, including tallies from Scatch, Galarneau, and back-to-back unassisted goals from Hunter Halcrow.

The game was sealed with a third period goal by Alex Murray and the Northsars finished with a 47-35 advantage in shots.

Tension in Sunday’s game was palpable, with a fierce defence on either side. Kenora managed to get a leg up on the Northstars with a second-period goal at 8:55, but the Northstars Charles Monger eliminated that gap with his own tally at 12:47.

The third period saw the Northstars slowly fall behind, with one goal from Murray sandwiched between two midperiod points from the Thistles. But it wasn’t until the last five minutes when the Northstars’ fate was sealed, when the decision was made to pull goalie Allan Kohli in an aggressive push to tie the game. The Thistles picked up an empty-netter on a breakaway with less than a minute to play, shutting the Northstars out of any chance for a last-minute recovery. Shots in the game were 41-27 for the Thistles.

The Northstars return to C. A. Nesbitt Arena on Nov.1920 to host the Winnipeg Thrashers, before hitting the road south to play the Eastman Selects, Winnipeg Wild and Interlake the following weekend.

First phase of wolf park completed

W LF NEWS What’s happening in the Wolf Capital Region?

(JMMBN t -FBG 3BQJET t -ZOO -BLF t /FMTPO )PVTF t 4QMJU -BLF t 5IPNQTPO t 8BCPXEFO VISION: Developing a global Wolf Centre of Excellence that values wolves as an ecological and economic asset for Manitoba and strives for best practices in human/wolf co-existence in the fields of education, conservation, science, research, eco-tourism, human dimensions, management, and culture.

A Spirit Way Inc. report.

The first phase of the newly re-created Boreal Discovery Centre has been developed, and Spirit Way Inc. is in the progress of the final touches to turn this labour of love over to the Boreal Discovery Centre board of directors.

Over $240,000 has been raised and spent towards a world-class wolf habitat

and education centre. Volunteers spent four years researching how to design and build the best wolf park by visiting sanctuaries in Minnesota, Idaho and British Columbia, and consulting with wolf curators and landscape architects to utilize optimal ideas from each. Other wolf sanctuaries provided

input into the final design for Thompson.

This exhibit, created over a one-and-a-quarter acre combination of disturbed and pristine boreal forest, is by far the most state-of-theart facility amongst its type in Canada. The wolf habitat meets or exceeds international standards,

Join Vale As one of the largest mining companies in the world, Vale’s mission is to transform natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development.

At Vale’s fully-integrated Manitoba Operations, we produce some of the best nickel in the world, in some of the safest operations in Canada. Located in Thompson, Manitoba, in the heart of the northern boreal region, we are deeply committed to our people, our communities, and our planet. We employ approximately 1500 people in a wide range of highly-skilled, innovative and challenging surface and underground roles, from process operators to technical and trades-related positions.

Our Manitoba Operations is currently seeking: Survey Technician (4) – 792982 Industrial Electrician, T.Q. – 792797 Industrial Welder – 792726 Human Resources Business Partner (2) - 792994 Your career awaits... apply at valejobs.ca Multiple recipient of the John T.

Thompson Citizen photo courtesy of Spirit Way This scene was a grassed area and has been reconstructed. Photo taken from top of den area shows the pond and waterfall area. Piping at right will circulate the water. Opening at right will be for the 2000 sq-ft-wolf viewing and education centre building. as well as space per animal. It is a gigantic 52 times larger than the previous wolf enclosure in Thompson built in 1983!

It includes earthen berms, two dens, a pond with waterfall, natural virgin forest and a retirement zone for older wolves and high ground features to reduce stress in pack animals.

Life expectancy of captive wolves that have been rescued and live in a natural space can exceed double their life span when roaming in the wild. The natural treed area in the park is as beautiful as any of the over 100 wolf parks and refuges in North America including the one at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg. The solid and double fencing allows wolves to be unseen and undisturbed when they retreat into the forest. Yet, in winter, their curiosity will draw them close to the viewing windows with children peering from the inside.

The Boreal Discovery Board must follow strict Wildlife Branch regulations before wolves are eventually brought to Thompson.

No animals can ever be taken from the wild, nor can rescued wolves ever be returned to the wild.

Compliments and praise have been received from architects and planners on this development. Support and accolades for the de-

sign have come from various sources: - A Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariaums (CAZA) director stated it’s an “impressive project.”

- Community Places provided $50,000 for this project.

- A senior University College of the North executive made an unsolicited, personal $1,000 donation.

- An independent wildlife filmmaker, who owns two rescued wolves, visited Thompson and said, “This is the best habitat space I have ever seen for wolves.

I’d like my animals to retire here.”

- UCN elders toured the site in August of this year with board directors and commented, “We did not expect to see an exhibit of this size for the wolves.” Actually seeing is believing.

Spirit Way Inc.’s goal was to exceed current CAZA standards, and president Marion Morberg is proud to say that they have achieved this.

The goal is turn over the wolf habitat after the Wolf Viewing and Study Centre building is complete, which is the next and last phase. An architectural concept has been prepared for a beautiful 2,000-sq-ft building that allows for viewing of wolves all year around.

Interpretative displays in this education centre will enable students, families, and visitors to learn of the important value of this apex predator in a balanced eco-system. Outside experts have mentioned that Thompson and region can be an example to the world of “best practices in all things wolf” as human/ wolf conflicts are rare in Northern Manitoba.

The quality animal care standards that are being incorporated into the landscape will carry on into the next phases of development as the Boreal Discovery Board moves ahead with its ambitious plans for caribou, lynx, gray owls, eagles, and sturgeon, all species in the northern boreal forest.

This facility will eventually provide strong educational programming that will stimulate all guests to value the boreal forest and the plants and animals that live therein. It will become a tremendous asset for Thompson over the next few years.

Stay tuned for the grand opening in the future, and they will love to show you their vision and other plans!

This is the third in a series of Spirit Way articles highlighting news about their efforts to highlight Thompson as the Wolf Capital of the World.
