    The Miles Hart Bridgewas partially blockadedJan. 28 by more than 100Idle No More - Northern

    Manitoba activists, manyfrom the NisichawayasihkCree Nation based in Nel-son House. The blockadewas set up on the northside beyond the bridgeover the Burntwood River.

    In explaining why theMiles Hart Bridge wastargeted, Idle No More -Northern Manitoba saidin a written statement,Over the years, billionsof dollars in nickel havebeen extracted from theThompson mine withno benefit to the trap-

    pers who held trap linesor to their families andtheir communities. Thegroup said Jimmy Spen-ce, a trapper from NelsonHouse, in the 1950s found a precious rock a

    sample of ore which heshowed to a prospector Walter Johnson. In returnfor finding the ore, Jimmyreceived a slab of bacon, a25-foot fishing net and amachete.

    According to a May 11,2002 article, ManitobasLegends of Rock: JohnF. Thompson, based oninformation provided byInco and published by themineral resources div-ision of the Government

    of Manitobas Departmentof Innovation, Energy andMines, between 1946 and1956 new explorationtechniques were used innorth central Manitoba.An active exploration

    program capitalized onthe development of theairborne magnetometer,which was adapted fromwartime use to locateenemy submarines. Thistechnology proved es-sential to mapping of po-tential deposits in remoteareas. Armed with thisnew exploration technol-ogy, Inco set about withthe largest explorationprogram in its history.Ten years and $10 million

    in exploration resultedin the discovery on Feb.5, 1956 of the Thomp-son ore body, known asBorehole 11962 the so-called Discovery Hole atCook Lake (later renamed

    Thompson Lake afterJohn Fairfield Thomp-son, the chairman of Incowhen the discovery wasmade) a diamond drillexploration hole collaredand assayed positive fornickel.

    Pierre Gaucher, generalmanager of Instrumenta-tion GDD Inc. in QuebecCity, wrote in a March2000 published articleentitled, How HenryLinklater, prospector, dis-

    covered Thompson ore-body, the rich Thomp-son orebody of Inco,officially discovered bygeophysics, was actuallyfound in a small outcropnext to Cook (Thomp-

    son) lake by a linecut-ter. That prospector wasHenry Linklater, an In-dian from Nelson House,now retired. I met him afew times with my father.After the discovery, heworked for Inco for morethan 30 years as a prac-tical mine geologist. Hisemployment at Thompsonand his excellent perform-ance in that capacity wasconfirmed to my fatherby the chief geologist

    of Thompson, Mr. BorisShepertycky.Ken Bigalow, who ar-

    rived in Thompson in Oc-tober 1960, was quotedin a Communities Mem-ories article published by

    Heritage North Museumas saying, Althoughthere were not many ab-original people employedat INCO, mining being anunfamiliar form of em-ployment, for them, Kenwas impressed with thosehe knew. He describes hisassociation with HenryLinklater. Henry startedout in exploration at MoakLake. In those days it wascalled Canico but later be-came INCO exploration.

    These fellows ended upas underground survey-ors and engineers. Henryworked there for over 30years. After he retired hewas brought back as aconsultant.

    Idle No More - Northern Manitoba partially blocked traffic leading to the Miles Hart Bridge over the Burntwood River in Thompson as part of a day of protest Jan. 28. The group said

    in a written statement that the lucrative Thompson mining industry got its start when Jimmy Spence, a trapper from Nelson House, found a sample of ore, which he showed to pros-

    pector Walter Johnson and in return for which he received a slab of bacon, a 25-foot fishing net and a machete.

    By whom and how was Thompsons

    nickel orebody discovered?

    Miss you so much.Shirley

    Parliament resumed sit-ting this week with a fullagenda.

    When Parliament re-cessed over the holidays Ihad the opportunity to trav-el throughout the riding.

    I was given a clear mes-sage. It is time the federalgovernment listened to ourregion and to Canadiansgenerally.

    People expressed strongopposition to many of thegovernments initiatives, in-

    cluding Bill C-45 the budgetimplementation bill.

    Time and time again Iheard people talking about

    the fact the governmentcontinues to ignore our re-gion.

    There is a lot more that

    we can do in our region. Weneed action on health care,education, housing, trans-portation, sewer and water,the port of Churchill, valueadded jobs from our resour-ces, economic development,

    initiatives for youth andmany other issues.As MP for Churchill I will

    be using every opportunityto speak out for our regionas parliament continuesto sit over the next fewmonths.

    If you are looking forthe latest highway andweather information be-fore you head out on thehighway you can access

    it directly with one phonecall.Manitobans can now

    dial 511 to get the latesthighway and weatherconditions.

    In 2011, I was pleasedas minister of transpor-tation to announce thelaunch of the 511 tele-phone service.

    The toll-free hotlineoffers updated informa-tion on provincial high-way conditions, road andbridge closures, weather

    conditions, and informa-tion for truckers and tour-ists.

    Here in Manitoba wecan have seven or eightmonths of winter drivingconditions so if there everwas a province that coulduse this kind of informa-tion, its Manitoba.

    Anyone in Manitobacan access 511 by phonetoll-free for provincialhighway information in-cluding updates on winterroads. Similar 511 sys-tems are provided by 30states in the United States.Manitoba joins a growinglist of North American

    jurisdictions providingthis recognizable publicservice that is also avail-able in Quebec, Nova Sco-tia, New Brunswick and

    the Yukon in Canada.The 511 service alsoexists online through a re-vamped website, mb511.ca, that features newinteractive maps and cur-rent road information forneighbouring provincesand states. An older ver-sion of the site receivedabout 2,300 visits on atypical winter day and up-wards of 45,000 visits aday during winter storms.

    Before you head out call511.

    Oxford House resi-dents have warm clothesto ward off the cold andbooks to fill the shelvesin the library of the ele-mentary school thanks tothe Morden Police Service,the Morden and DistrictUnited Way and CanadasHistorymagazine, in part-nership with the OxfordHouse RCMP detachment.

    Approximately 200 arti-cles of winter clothing forchildren and adults weresent to Bunibonibee CreeNation at Oxford House,

    about 950 kilometresnortheast of Winnipeg, by

    the Morden and DistrictUnited Way, which col-lected them through itsKoats for Kids program.

    They had completedtheir drive for the com-munity down there, saidCpl. Rodney Campbell ofthe Oxford House RCMPdetachment, who, alongwith other RCMP mem-bers in Oxford House,used to be stationed in theMorden area. They hadmore than they needed.The United Way said, ab-solutely, if this community

    needs stuff.It isnt the first time the

    Morden Police Service andthe Morden-area UnitedWay have helped out aNorthern Manitoba com-munity with winter cloth-ing.

    They went to IslandLake last year and thisyear was us, said Camp-bell. The RCMP in OxfordHouse then co-ordinateddistribution of the itemswith Awasis and otherservice agencies in thearea.

    It was definitely a com-munity think tank, said

    Campbell. I think the waythey did it was good.

    Campbell says for heand the other RCMP mem-bers, it felt good to be ableto help out local residentswho couldnt otherwiseafford new winter clothes.

    Winter clothes werentthe only donation madeto the community. Camp-bell says the commun-itys elementary school,which reopened last yearafter being shut down dueto mould and structuralproblems in 2010, had alack of reading material inits library.

    They said, Weve gotno books left in our li-

    brary, said Campbell. Icouldnt believe it. Theshelves were bare.

    The corporal got intouch with a friend atCan-adas History magazine(formerly known as TheBeaver), which chippedin four or five containersworth of books for thelibrary, as well as maga-zines, mostly of a culturalnature with informationgeared towards First Na-tions. The RCMP trans-ported the material to Ox-ford House and donated it

    to the schools administra-tors.

    We got a whole bunchof literature, said Camp-bell.

    The RCMP was glad toplay the role of go-be-tween for the commun-ity and the school library,said Campbell, givingcredit to the organizationsthat actually provided thedonations.

    Thanks to the UnitedWay and the Morden Po-lice Service for reachingout and thinking aboutus, he said. It was def-initely appreciated.

    The Marcel ColombFirst Nation officiallyopened their new drink-ing water treatment sys-tem on Jan 23. MarcelColomb First Nation has376 band members andthe reserve is located atHughes Lake, approxi-mately 255 kilometresnorthwest of Thompson.

    The federal govern-ment contributed morethan $8.9 million from2006 to 2012 towardsthe design and construc-tion of the new drink-ing water treatmentsystem, which will pro-vide trucked water andwastewater serv ices tothe community.

    The Marcel Colomb re-serve is currently under

    development and thecompletion of the drink-ing water system rep-resents the last mile-stone before homes arecompleted and bandmembers can begin tomove into the commun-ity. Band members cur-rently live off reserve,with most residing inthe nearby town of LynnLake.

    John Duncan, ministerof aboriginal affairs andnorthern development(AANDC), congratulatedMarcel Colomb First Na-tion on the grand open-ing.

    The Harper govern-ment is committed toworking with First Na-tions to assist them inimproving the quality ofdrinking water in their

    communities, said Dun-can, working in part-nership with Marcel Co-lomb First Nation helpedmake this drinking watertreatment facility a real-ity and I would like torecognize the hard workand dedication of thechief and the commun-ity.

    The federal govern-ment previously funded

    construction of a newsewage lagoon and roadinfrastructure for thecommunity at a cost of$3.27 million.

    For Marcel ColombFirst Nation and for thefederal, provincial, andmunicipal governmentsinvolved, and for ourMother Band, MathiasColomb Cree Nation,who worked with us to

    achieve our goal, its veryexciting to accomplish,said Chief Andrew Co-lomb. We have a placeto call home now, weremoving one step forwardand now its our turn towork towards help ingour children and grand-children to prosper in ahealthy environment.

    The communitys firsthomes are being builtwith a loan of approxi-mately $3 million provid-ed by Canada Mortgageand Housing Corporationand guaranteed throughthe AANDC MinisterialLoan Guarantee Pro-gram. A total of 15 unitsare to be completed by

    the end of March.Between 2006 and

    2014, the federal gov-ernment will have in-vested approximately $3billion to support FirstNation Communities inmanaging their waterand wastewater infra-structure and in relatedpublic-health activities.

    RCMP D Divisions newAssistant CommissionerKevin Brosseau, the div-isions commanding officer,held a conference call withNorthern media Jan. 24 toshare his vision and someof his initiatives going for-ward.

    Originally from northernAlberta, Brosseau spokeof his affinity for the Northand his desire to improvethe manner in which theRCMP communicates withtheir Northern detachments.

    Brosseau joined theRCMP in 1988 in Edmon-ton and served in Williams

    Lake and Burnaby, Brit-ish Columbia, as well as anumber of locations in theYukon until 1998. He hasserved in operational rolesincluding municipal andprovincial policing, generalinvestigation and aboriginaland community policing.

    During the conference

    call, Brosseau fielded a

    broad range of questionspertaining to NorthernManitoba issues, begin-ning with Thompson andits rank as the violent crimecapital of Canada.

    Im very well aware ofthe situation in terms ofthe crime severity indexin respect to violent crime

    in Thompson and in othercommunities across theNorth, said Brosseau, interms of requests for addi-tional officers, I cant saydefinitively what that is,other than the fact that Iknow the mayor (Tim John-ston) and the province havehad discussions regardingfunding and possible scen-arios; I can say that thepositions we have are filled.Insp. John Duff is doingwhat he can to ensure thatthe members we do haveare working in the most ef-fective way possible.

    Brosseau followed up bysaying that his priority isto move beyond the trad-

    itional responsive methodsof policing and in to a moreproactive model in terms ofcrime reduction strategies.

    The RCMP will continueto focus on societal issuesand building partnershipswith community organiza-tions says Brosseau, in aneffort to tackle the issues

    that are related to crime.So much of our time is

    spent on non-crime, specificcrime-related work, saidBrosseau, its dealing withsocietal issues, whether itmeans working with youthcounselors, mental healthworkers, substance abusecounselors and the like, be-cause in many cases werethe organization thats thereand were the face in thecommunity and we have topick up the phone and dopick up the phone.

    Crime reduction strat-egies at the district levelare a top priority forBrosseau, and then see-ing them roll down to

    the detachment level,with programs such asCREST (Crime ReductionEnforcement SupportTeam.)

    CREST has been verysuccessful with thingslike identifying key of-fenders and eradicatingthings like drugs in com-

    munities, said Bros-seau, theyre out therecatching bad guys andthose are the types of in-itiatives that need to bebuilt on.

    Brosseau concludedhis conference with adiscussion about thenumber of homicidesthat have occurred inFirst Nations commun-ities since the start of theyear, harkening back tohis point that there aremany underlying issuesthat need to be addressedin order to combat theproblem.

    Ultimately were talk-ing about the underlyingissues that lead to vio-lence in our communitiesand that certainly is aconcern that I have, saidBrosseau, Ive directedmy criminal operationsofficer and district com-manders to ensure thattheyre tackling theunderlying precursors toviolence; that being sub-stance abuse, whetherit be drugs, alcohol, organg activity that maylead to creating the cir-cumstances that lead tothese tragic events.

    Chief Arlen Dumas ofthe Mathias Colomb CreeNation (MCCN) at Pukata-wagan issued a stop workorder at Hudbays Lalormine near Snow Lake dur-ing the Idle No More day ofaction on Jan. 28.

    This order is issued be-cause: Hudson Bay Min-ing and Smelting Co., Ltd.And affiliated companieshave breached the trad-itional laws of MissinippiNehethowak as representedby Mathias Colomb Cree

    Nation by constructing,operating, and extractingresources from Lalor Mineat Snow Lake withoutthe express permissionof the owners MissinippiNehethowak as repre-sented by Mathias ColombCree Nation, read the stopwork order. WARNING:The failure to stop work, theresumption of work with-out permission from theMissinippi Nehethowak asrepresented by Mathias Co-lomb Cree Nation is punish-able by the laws of Mathias

    Colomb Cree Nation.A press release announ-cing the issuing of the stopwork order described thesite as being on uncededMissinippi Nethowak Terri-tory.

    We are sovereign andasserting our laws andjurisdictions over our un-ceded ancestral territory,said Dumas in the release.We have never gave upour lands, waters and nat-ural resources. We have aresponsibility to managetheir use and protection.

    John Vincic, Hudbays

    vice president of investorrelations and corporatecommunications told theNickel Belt News in an e-mail that the company hashad an ongoing dialogue

    with MCCN for more than

    two years which it intendsto continue.

    Brad Lantz, vicepresident for the Mani-toba Business Unit, wentto Lalor on the day of thedemonstration and spokepersonally with many of theparticipants, wrote Vin-cic. Approvals of miningprojects are the decision ofthe province, which makesprovision for public con-sultation as part of the pro-cess. Lalor has all the prov-incial permits and approvalsrequired for the work done

    to date and we remain com-mitted to completing theproject and bringing it intofull production, which willbring more jobs and eco-nomic activity to the areaaround Snow Lake.

    A spokesperson for Min-ister of Innovation, Energyand Mines Dave Chomiak,

    who was attending a min-

    ing conference in Vancou-ver, said Wednesday thatthe province recognizesthe importance of workingwith aboriginal people whiledeveloping the provincesmining industry.

    Consultation is an im-portant part of the processand we will continue to dothat. When there is dis-agreement, we are commit-ted to resolving it in the bestinterests of all Manitobansincluding aboriginal Mani-tobans. The province is andwill continue to follow due

    process in environmental li-censing. We are encouragedthat Hudbay and MCCNhave been talking regardingthis project.

    Dumas said in a lettersent to Hudbay and Cho-miak, as well as to PremierGreg Selinger and Ministerof Conservation and Water

    Stewardship Gord Mackin-

    tosh that no formal noticeof Hudbays application fora Class 2 Environment Actlicence for the constructionand operation of the Lalormine was ever provided toMCCN.

    To be clear, MissinippiNehethowak as representedby Mathias Colomb CreeNation owns the land, waterand resources within outunceded traditional territor-ies, read the letter. Thismeans that you are requiredto obtain our consent beforeengaging in activities on

    our territories or contem-plating the removal of anyof our resources from ourterritory.

    We fully expect that theProvince of Manitoba willuphold the rule of law andassist us in enforcing thisstop work order, concludedthe letter.

    Through advertising inthe Underground Press,social media, their web-page, as well as mailingout a three-page circular,the Town of Snow Lakeadvised residents of a newautomated garbage collec-tion system that came intoeffect on Jan. 24. Thetown laid out how everyresidence that currentlyhas curb side collectionwould be supplied with awheeled garbage cart (atno direct cost to the home-owner) and that theywould be emptied using anew town garbage truck,equipped with a mechan-ical arm.

    The circular explainedthe rationale behind thechange, some of its bene-

    fits and attempted to an-swer many of the ques-tions that arise with sucha different way of doingthings. The town says thatit will be a more efficient,safe and environmentallyfriendly method of gar-bage collection.

    In a recent interview,both Mayor Clarence Fish-er and chief administra-tive officer Jeff Precourtfreely admitted that there

    will be glitches in the newsystem until the bugs areironed out of it. However,they contend that oncein place and operatingsmoothly it will be secondto none.

    During the interview,the officials were askeda number of questionsabout the new system. Inanswer to a few of the firstones most people would

    be tempted to ask: Whatdid the old system cost?What does the new onecome in at and what isthe difference? CAO Pre-court advised that the costof the garbage collectioncontract in 2011 was ap-proximately $63,000. Thenew automated garbagetruck was a one-time costof approximately $75,000(including taxes). Thenew garbage carts cost ap-

    proximately $33,000 for500. A town maintenanceemployees wage rate is$28.04 per hour for 2013(multiplied by 2080 hours= $58,323.20 per annum).And the garbage collec-tion revenue in 2011 and2012 is approximately$105,000.

    Another question mostwould ask is where thepickup locations will be at

    Snow Lake homes? It wasnoted in conversation thatnearly all of the containerpickup locations would beon the front street (as op-posed to current pickuplocations which are ex-clusively in back lanes).Precourt said this wouldbe the case in every lo-cation except for one ortwo small portions of thetown.

    A further question in-

    volved what the solutionwould be for picking upgarbage on a street thathas vehicles parked nearlybumper to bumper downboth sides. The cansneed a metre clearanceand quite honestly peopleneed to find a way to getthat metre of clearance oryou might have to con-sider parking your car onyour lot on those specificdays, Fisher said. He andPrecourt noted that thetown originally planned tohave garbage picked up inback lanes, but the clear-ance requirements for thenew truck precluded it. Itwasnt poor planning oranything; it is just howthose trucks operate,said Fisher. So to change

    to that type of a system,thats what we had todo. The mayor made itclear that people will haveto make some choices oncertain days when theirgarbage is picked up andfind a way to accommo-date both their parking re-quirements and the needto get rid of their refuse.

    The men were alsoasked what would hap-pen when, or if, the truckbreaks down. They ex-plained that this is wherea requirement to bag all

    garbage going into thenew containers comesfrom. In other placesthat use this system,

    you dont have to baggarbage, said CAO Pre-court. We are sayingyou do because if somemorning the truck wontstart or the arm wontwork or whatever. Theemployee will be out inthe one-ton. They pointout that loose garbage inthe 64-gallon containerwould be impossible toempty by hand. Hav-ing said that, they admitthe town is talking aboutthe purchase of a back-up truck during current

    budget deliberations.The officials were alsoasked what would happenwith vandalism or theft

    on a large or continualbasis would individualhomeowners have to payfor a new container eachtime? We really arentexpecting something likethat to happen, saidFisher. We expect, andhope, that people will beresponsible for their cans.When is vandalism go-ing to happen? Usuallyat two in the morning,so lets hope your can isoff the street and in youryard. Its possible, but wearent expecting a large

    problem with it. After aweek under the new sys-tem, things appear to berunning smoothly.
