A small plane on its way to Winnipeg from Thompson crashed near the runway on Sept. 15, just before 7 p.m.

The plane, a Navajo Chieftain aircraft, left Thompson but turned around shortly after

passengers and the two pilots of the Keystone Flight 408 were able to exit the aircraft and were all taken to hospital. Three of the passengers were then taken to the Winnipeg Health Sciences Centre.

The plane may have been filled with jet fuel, when in

fact the aircraft should have been fi lled with Avgas instead by the aircraft refuelers, states the Keystone Air Service Ltd. press release.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says investigators arrived at the site of the crash on Sept. 16, in the evening. During the investigation on Sept. 17,

investigators conducted an exhaustive site examination and photographed the aircraft and the location. The board also says they will be looking into pilot training records as well as aircraft maintenance records.

In a statement from Premier Greg Selinger, he said that three of the plane

passengers were employees of the Northern Airport and Marine operations, two worked for Manitoba Business Transformation and Technology, and one for Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation.

The plane crashed just less than 400 yards from the 381 highway.

Homeless, social agencies discuss homelessness problem

Thompson Citizen photo by Devan C. Tasa The topic of homelessness was discussed by the heads of social agencies and those that are actually experiencing it at a event at the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre Sept. 17.

DEVAN C. TASA Over a meal of stew and bannock, the problem of homelessness in Thompson was discussed between those that are experiencing it and representatives from the city’s social agencies.

The discussion at the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre Sept. 17 began with a presentation about the results of a point-intime count of the city’s homeless population. On March 6, volunteers found there were 126 homeless individuals. Of that number, 52 were homeless for more than six months.

John Donovan, the community advisory board on homelessness’ chair, said it was important to talk to those experiencing homelessness about the result of the count.

“We’d promised them that we’d get back and let them know what the results were. They’re not at council meetings and they’re not at other gatherings where this was reported,” he said, “so we wanted to make sure

they knew what the results were.”

After that presentation, the two groups sat down together in a café-like setting to talk about the size and causes on homelessness in Thompson, how the current responses are working, what still needs to be done and what a group combating homelessness would look like.

Donovan said that format helped make the two groups feel more equal with each other; on the streets, it can be difficulty for people to connect with those experiencing homelessness.

“But in an environment like this, to be able to sit down and do a workshop together where everybody is equal, I think that says a lot,” he said.

It was valuable to have for agency heads to sit down with those who are experiencing – or had experienced – homelessness, Donovan said. He said he thought it was valuable for those experiencing home-

lessness as well.

“I want it to be empowering and I believe that it’s empowering for the folks that are homeless to sit down with those people that are here that are agency lead and people who are working in the community on their behalf,” he said.

Some attending had specific, individualized complaints about some of the social agencies. Donovan said that because everyone was all in one room, he was able to direct those complaints to the agency head, hopefully beginning the process towards finding a solution.

“We did a little bit of bridging in terms of that,” he said.

The survey said 67 of the 126 homeless individuals

were from other Northern Manitoba communities.

The people with experience at the event echoed that, saying it was important to have those managing First Nations housing in northern communities to be at the table next time.

The key problem is that there isn’t enough affordable housing within Thompson. Donovan said there’s a need for landlords to come forward and work with the advisory board to get lower-income residents into leases.

“We have lots of supports for these individuals.

We have four people now living in leased units and they are doing very well and they haven’t broken their lease,” adding they haven’t had to fix any apartments. “It works.”

RCMP officer won’t be charged in Norway House shooting

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The RCMP officer who shot and wounded 21-year-old Evan Cromarty in Norway House Cree Nation last summer will not be charged.

On July 20, 2014 police were called about Cromarty allegedly assaulting another man with a baseball bat, as well as entering a home uninvited and uttering threats.

The caller told RCMP that Cromarty is known for carrying a weapon on him. Cromarty then ran to a nearby baseball fi eld in Norway House, which was hosting a youth baseball tournament that day.

The officer who was put on the case told Cromarty to stop, but Cromarty failed to do so. The offi cer drew his weapon when Cromarty turned and reached down into his pockets.

The RCMP offi cer shot and wounded Cromarty in the arm. The man suffered non-life threatening injures and received medical treatment for the injury. During a search of Cromarty after the shooting found there was only his phone and wallet on him, no gun.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team conducted a review of the incident, which was requested by the Manitoba Government and announced on Sept. 16 that the officer will not be criminally charged.

Charges against Cromarty were also dropped earlier this year. These included aggravated assault, break and enter, and uttering threats. However, he did plead guilty to a pair of breach charges and was sentenced to time already served, with no further penalty. The Crown did not provide an explanation to why the charges were dropped, except that they didn’t believe there was a reasonable likelihood of conviction.

Thompson Citizen photo by Molly Gibson Kirby Students at Burntwood Elementary School has a visit with some wild animals on Sept. 17, thanks to Earth Rangers.

BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY tion also picks four animals MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Elementary school students took part in interactive assemblies when animal ambassadors visited Thompson schools on Sept.

14-17. Earth Rangers is a kid’s conservation organization that is dedicated to teaching students about the importance of biodiversity and conservation.

The organization, which is sponsored by Vale has traveled up to Thompson for the past couple of years to work with the different schools. This year the Earth Rangers had four furry friends to show off: Timber the pine marten, Linus the harris hawk, Sonic the European barn owl and Spike the sulcata tortoise.

Every year the organiza-

that need human help to save themselves and their habitats. This year for the Bring Back the Wild project they’re saving the little brown bat, the wolverine, the perugia falcon and cold water coral.

Julia Molnar, one of the two Earth Rangers that presented in Thompson says they pick the four animals based on a few things.

“The animals are chosen based on ones we haven’t done before, it also has a lot to do with our partners Environment Canada and Parks Canada.”

Molnar continued by saying they try to expose students to different animals as well as the different ecosystems all around the country.

Molnar says the little brown bat is probably the most regional-based animal for Thompson out of the four. The bat is currently dealing with white nose syndrome, which causes the bats to wake up during wintertime hibernation. The itchy fungus makes the bat use too much energy, and eventually kills the bat.

The wolverine has been getting caught in other animal traps, and there are less than 600 left in Ontario. The falcon is in need of saving because the bird is flying into glass windows mistaking the reflection for open sky. Finally the fourth animal, which is often confused for being a plant, is cold water coral. Coral is dying, which is causing other animals to die because

these animals eat the coral.

Molnar says students can sign up to become an Earth Ranger online and can help choose one of the four animals to save this year. Students can hold bake sales, book sales or any type of fundraiser to raise money for the animals.

In 2014 the four animals, which were part of the Bring Back the Wild, were the swift fox, the western screech owl, the bobolink, and the eastern wolf. Molnar says efforts were met last year and actually exceeded the needed amount.

She hopes the same thing will happen for the four new animals needing to be saved.

There are currently more than 200 Earth Ranger members in Thompson.

It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later

By Molly Gibson Kirby

A

fter living in Thompson for a year and a half, it’s a bittersweet time in my life, as I’m saying goodbye to the first city I called home without my family, and hello to a whole new adventure, as I move to British Columbia.

When I fi rst moved to

Thompson I was scared. I don’t even know if scared is the proper word, but I packed my two suitcases of stuff, and I got on the airplane in Halifax and made my way to Thompson. When I arrived in Thompson I remember how cold I thought it was, and secondly how much snow there was. (Moving to Thompson in February probably wasn’t the smartest idea).

It’s been one year since I started to work for the Thompson Citizen and the Nickel Belt News. In the past year I have learnt that writing is exactly what I want to do for the rest of my life, and working in this establishment has shown me what a true community paper is all about. Every morning when I walked into the front doors of this newspaper I felt a comfort I

didn’t really expect to feel at an industry job.

The good morning hellos have meant so much to me, and honestly the people have been unlike any other people I have met.

On my fi rst day of working at the newspaper Ian Graham, my editor handed me a video of an hour-long mayoral debate, and told me to write an article on it. I had never written print before, but after that day, I felt like I could accomplish anything. It was so nice knowing my editor and boss had the confidence in me, knowing I could do it too.

Not only has my time in Thompson shown me that I chose the right career, but it’s also taught me a lot about myself. I know now I can move anywhere and be able to

The Molly Gibson Kirby

who moved to Thompson a year and a half ago, is a completely different Molly who is leaving Thompson. I’ve grown and this place has shown me who I want to be, and the type of worker I will continue to be.

Thompson may not have been my forever home, but it will always stay in my heart. I will always remember this city,

my friends, my coworkers and my bosses as amazingly important people in my life.

Thank you to everyone at the Thompson Citizen for making me feel comfortable and confident in my work. I will miss all of you incredibly.

It’s not goodbye, it’s a see you later, and I surely will be back to this place in the future for a visit.

When the clown went on stage at the Boys and Girls Club, it got serious. She was there to remind the participants of the Wellness on Wheels bike rally about bicycle safety rules.

The event was organized by the Hope North Suicide Prevention Committee to recognize Worldwide Suicide Prevention Day. “The theme for Worldwide Suicide Prevention Day is reaching out and preventing suicide. All across the world they’re hosting events with a cycling theme,� said Liz Lychuck, the committee’s coordinator. “When we register people tonight we’ll count the kilometers towards the world’s efforts to prevent suicide.�

Those kilometers will be then inputted into a website that will calculate the total distance that people have travelled through similar events around the planet.

The Sept. 18 event, held eight days after Worldwide Suicide Prevention Day, was not just a bike rally, but also a celebration of life. Participants could get their helmet properly ďŹ tted – or replaced if needed, get their face painted and watch a dance performance by students from the Aurora Dance Academy. After they rode their bikes on a route guided by the local RCMP, the night ended with a barbeque and music from Poetry in Motion.

There was also a moment of silence to remember those who had died by suicide before the rally began.

There were two routes: the longer one was aimed at bicycle riders, while a shorter one worked better for walkers, runners, and people using strollers and wagons. “We really want to make this event as inclusive as we can, to get people from all different groups of ages,�

Lychuck said.

This is the second year the rally has been held.

“Last year was an awesome event and I’m hoping this year will be just as good, if not better,� Lychuck said. “I think it’s a success if we have people come out and enjoy the event.

If we can raise awareness for suicide prevention and build those connections, I think it’s always a success.�

Those who are thinking about suicide or knows something that is thinking about suicide should contact mental health professionals to get the help they needed. For those 17 and under, they should call the mental health crisis centre at 204-778-1472. Adults go contact the hospital or contact the mental health program at 204-778-5350. There’s also the Manitoba Suicide Line at 1-877-435-7170.

A free skating lesson DEVAN C. TASA A young child, dressed in black snowpants, jacket and toque balanced precariously on his skates.

As he began to stubble, a skating coach reached out and steadied him before he fell.

That was the scene at the C.A. Nesbitt Arena at the Thompson Regional Community Centre as Skate Thompson hosted their Skate Canada Manitoba Day. All members of the public – from young children to senior citizens – were invited to take a free skating lesson.

“It’s to emphasize our learn-toskate programs and to promote Skate Thompson in the community and the love of skating,” said Megan Fraser, Skate Thompson’s recreation co-ordinator, about the Sept. 15 and 16 event.

The focus on the first day was the CanPowerSkate program, which is geared towards hockey and ringette players. The second day was focused on the CanSkate program and its variants, which teaches beginners how to skate and introduces them to basic skills needed for ice sports.

Ben Harris, a CanSkate coach, is a fan of the free day.

“I think it’s a great idea because it gives anybody the chance to try it out and see what the program is about. I think it’s going to bring more people to the club,” he said.

Skate Thompson was prepared for 30 students to attend the event.

“As a result of this and wordof-mouth and people talking who are in the program, our enrolment is strong,” Fraser said. “Last year we were maxed out.”

People should learn how to skate because it’s fun, Harris said.

“It’s a great activity, it’s a great way to get exercise and it’s a lot of fun,” he said.

Fraser agrees.

“It’s a skill that can lead into all sorts of things: figure skating, ringette, hockey, power skating,” she said. “It opens up lot of avenues in different disciplines, so once you learn how to skate, you can branch off into those disciplines.”

She added it was good to improve one’s co-ordination and balance. For those that go into figure skating, it’s also a way to develop musically and artistically.

Harris said he likes teaching at

“Teaching new skaters is always exciting because you don’t

know where they’re coming from.

Some have never skated before, so it’s a bit challenging for them.”

He added others had a bit of a skating background before coming.

ing. That’s a really popular course,” Saulteaux said, adding his program would have to find a way to prioritize the 80 or so applicants done to 25.

The YWCA’s also the site of a pilot project: Essential Skills for Employers. The Thompson branch is one of eight in the country – and the only one in Manitoba – to host the program.

“Each region is going to bring something different out of it because each region is addressing different needs. So for us, our main focus is going to be,” said Cat Cogle, who works with Steps to Success “working with Aboriginal people, getting them in the workplace.”

The federal government is now categorizing jobs by nine essential skills: reading, writing, document use, numeracy, digital technology, thinking, oral communication, working with others and continuous learning. There are three levels to each skill; some jobs require a higher level of certain skills compared to others.

Essential Skills for Employers will be running from Sept. 9, the day after International Literacy Day to Oct. 3.

“Our approach is going to be a strength-based approach,” Saulteaux said.

“Let’s say there’s someone who’s homeless. A lot of people will look at their deficiencies, what’s wrong with them or what they’re lacking but we’re looking at the other way around. We’re trying to empower them and recognize that they do have (strengths).”

Saulteaux will be taking a mentor-like role during the course.

“I’m really excited because I believe in this approach in empowering people and looking at their resiliency, skills, strength and even using their difficult experiences in life as a strength,” he said.

They’re also hoping to get students certifi ed in skills like CPR, first aid, WHMIS and food safety.

SPECIAL TO THE THOMPSON CITIZEN

In May 2015, a group of 23 students and three teacher chaperones from R.D. Parker Collegiate traveled with EF Tours to learn about the early history and culture of one of the oldest parts of Canada.

Over eight days, the students and teachers travelled to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to explore the beauty and history of these provinces. Students gained an awareness of their own country, fellow citizens, and an appreciation of how large, great and diverse we are as a country.

Some of the sights taken in along the trip included Halifax Citadel Hill, Peggy’s Cove, the Canadian Immigration Museum, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and a haunted tour of downtown Halifax. After touring Halifax, the group took a ferry to New Brunswick where they explored the Bay of Fundy, Hopewell Rocks and were given a history lesson on the United Empire Loyalists and toured a Loyalist House.

The group then went to

The fun didn’t end there, the group returned to Halifax and enjoyed a habour tour on a Vietnam-era amphibious boat called the Habour Hopper.

Many thanks go out The Brick, USW 6166, and the TTA for their donations as well the many other people who helped fundraise for the trip.
