Politicians, postal workers, union representatives and concerned citizens, including some with mobility issues, voiced their opinions on the planned phasing out of home delivery in most areas by Canada Post over the next fi ve years at a meeting at the Juniper Centre in September, and most were opposed to the plan.

Gord Fischer, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) national director for the prairie region, travelled north from Winnipeg for the meeting and said the union’s concerns with the plans in-cluded the potential for as many as 15,000 jobs losses by the time the plan is fully implemented to undesirable side effects like lowered prop-erty values and a decrease in community safety. Fischer noted that community mail-boxes in Fort McMurray, Alta. were moved because it was creating an unsafe situa-tion. He also said that mail carriers act like the eyes and ears of a community.

“It actually is the fi rst line of an emergency service,” Fischer said, noting that mail

carriers notice when some-thing is out of the ordinary. “They notice when there’s mail building up. In a lot of ways they’re like a neigh-bourhood watch because they see what’s going on.”

The loss of home de-livery would be a blow for people with disabilities, said Kristopher Blake, president of People First Thompson Chapter and People First Manitoba, self-advocacy or-ganizations for people with intellectual disabilities. Blake said the prospect of heading out to a community mailbox in a manual wheelchair in -40 degree Celsius weather is daunting.

“Don’t let this happen,” said Blake, adding that see-ing the mail carrier was a bright spot in many people’s day. “They’re part of our lives and they’re a good part of our lives so let’s save this service.”

Thompson MLA Steve Ashton said he remem-bered when Thompson fi rst got home mail delivery and said the city is not designed to accommodate community mailboxes.

“I’ve often wondered where they expect to put

these things in the parts of Thompson that were never designed for this purpose,” he said. “Whose lawn is it going to be on? What about traffi c issues, what about snow-clearing issues? You don’t want to be the home that’s in the vicinity of this. Canada Post doesn’t pick up the stuff that’s discarded.

Canada Post assumes no re-sponsibility so guess who’s going to be stuck with that responsibility? The sur-rounding homeowners or quite frankly the city itself.”

Churchill MP Niki Ashton, who had planned to be at the meeting but was unable to attend, addressed attendees in a video message, saying

that door-to-door mail ser-vices is vital in many of the communities she represents.

“For these communities our postal service is a life-line,” she said. “Arrival of house-to-house delivery was a sign of progress. We’ve heard a lot of myths that Canada Post isn’t sustainable or profi table. Stand up and

tell Prime Minister [Stephen] Harper and his government to save Canada Post.”

Fischer said the decision to eliminate door-to-door service is not irreversible, recalling that Brian Mul-roney’s Progressive Con-servative government had

Gord Fischer, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) national director for the prairie region, said at a September

meeting in Thompson that he believes public pressure can convince Canada Post to abandon its plans to phase out

door-to-door delivery of mail over the next fi ve years.

“It’ll be a slow conver-sion process,” said Fischer. “They stopped that pro-gram. Fight like hell to keep it is the message.”

Fischer said Fred Pollard, Canada Post’s general man-ager for western Canada operations, was invited to attend the meeting but de-cline, which Fischer said was what had happened at similar meetings in other communities.

“So far their attendance rate has been zero,” said Fischer. “Unfortunately they won’t attend. We would much rather have them here to debate us.”

He also said that people need to speak up to con-vince the government to back down.

“If enough people do it, starts to have an effect,” Fischer said. “This can’t be the biggest issue that this government has to deal with. I believe there is a tip-ping point. I believe we can win. I think we’ve just got to keep fi ghting and then we will win this.”

CUPW, seniors’ groups and organizations for people with disabilities joined together to launch a legal challenge to the at-tempt to phase out home delivery, CUPW said in an Oct. 16 press release. A challenge will be fi led in the Federal Court of Can-ada under Canada’s Char-ter of Rights and Freedoms, arguing that the decision exceeds Canada Post’s au-thority and should be made via Parliament.

A six-week-old infant and a fi ve-year-old boy died in two remote communities of northeastern Manitoba on Oct. 17.

Island Lake RCMP re-sponded to a call about a six-week-old infant found

unresponsive in her bed by her mother around 5:30 a.m. in Red Sucker Lake The boy was taken to the nurs-ing station where he was pronounced dead. An aut-opsy is scheduled and police are awaiting the results.

That afternoon, about 4:30 p.m., Island Lake

RCMP received a report of a child struck by a car in St. Theresa Point. The boy, a resident of St. Theresa Point First Nation, had been dropped off near his home by the school bus. As he was walking towards his house, a vehicle reversing out of a driveway hit him. The child

was taken to the nursing station where he was pro-nounced dead. Alcohol and speed are not considered factors in the collision.

RCMP continue to inves-tigate both deaths, but foul play is not suspected in either at this point.


A philanthropic media organization will stream live coverage of the polar bear migration from the Churchill area over the In-ternet from Nov. 2-8.

Explore.org, which is also the multimedia div-ision of the Annenberg Foundation created by filmmaker and philan-thropist Charles Annen-berg, is joining forces with Frontiers North and Polar Bears International to take a roving studio with live HD streaming capabilities to follow the bears along the Hudson Bay coast as they pass the time waiting for the water to freeze by digging, napping, sparring (play fi ghting) and, even-tually, testing the ice.

Each year, an estimated 1,000 polar bears begin their migration from the region of Churchill, Mani-toba’s port, which is nick-named “Polar Bear Capital of the World,” gathering near the town to wait for the bay to freeze over so

they can begin hunting seals and other marine mammals.

In recent years, Explore.org has used live non-stop coverage of the annual mi-gration, which it describes as “ground zero for biolo-gists, climate experts, other scientists and tourists who come every year to witness and analyze the bears’ an-nual trek,” to bring atten-tion to shifts in the Earth’s climate.

“The polar bears are the high priests of the arctic cathedral,” said explore.org founder Annenberg. “And the bears’ story in Churchill is a simple one that requires very little language. Everyone watch-ing knows the bears are starving, in part because of the changes in the global climate, and viewers are anxiously waiting for the ice to freeze so the bears can go eat. This powerful moment is an authentic way to mark the coming of winter, and a poignant illustration of our changing environment through the

Gandhi-like experience these bears endure.”

The live HD video streams will start Nov. 2 with shots from multiple locations and multiple cameras on Tundra Bug-gies roving the subarctic tundra. People can watch from Internet-connected phones, TVs, tablets or computers during daylight hours at www.explore.org/polarbears and see the day’s highlights replayed at night. Last year, more than a million hours of the polar bear migration were streamed over three weeks. The polar bear migration is the latest addition to explore.org’s Pearls of the Planet collection, which aims to inspire lifelong learning and help people fall in love with the world again. Explore.org has streamed more than fi ve million hours of Pearls of the Planet footage in the past year. As part of this year’s broadcast, explore.org is asking people to sign the Petition for Polar Bears urging world leaders

to take meaningful action at climate changes talks in Lima, Peru this year and Paris, France next year. People and organizations interested in the plight of the polar bears are also being asked to commit to reducing their green-

house gas footprint and to inspire others to do the same by creating videos describing their energy-saving pledges and shar-

ing them with the hash-tag #SaveOurSeaIce. Polar Bear International’s You-Tube page will broadcast the videos.

Students got back into their seats on Oct. 14, after the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) Otetiskiwin Kiskinwamahtowekamik Elementary (O.K.) School reopened.

Natalie Tays, principal of

the O.K elementary school says their doors were shut from Oct. 6 until Oct. 10. It was due to a water main break. Wayne Francois, director of education for Nelson House Education Authority, says, “A major line broke, but a temporary fi x has been made.”

Francois says the school is now waiting for the plumber and the new pipes to be installed. Classes will continue as normal, and the school’s “always open” policy will remain in effect. The policy sees the school stay open every day, regardless of the weather.

Otestiskiwin Kiskin-wamahtowekamik Elemen-tary School sees around 900 students enrolled every year from Nelson House. The school is the community’s only elemen-tary school, which houses nursery to Grade 8 stu-dents.

Halloween can be an exciting time for children and with the distraction of candy and costumes, safety rules can easily be forgotten. In fact, research shows that distractions can increase a child’s chances of being struck by a car. It is important to keep your child’s safety in mind when planning cos-tumes, decorations, treats and activities on the spe-cial day itself. Check out these simple tips to keep Halloween night a safe night for all:

1. Children under the age of nine should be ac-companied by an adult or responsible older child to assist them in crossing the street. This is a year-round tip that will help keep your child safe while you share good pedes-trian habits and pass on safety-minded behaviour.

2. Teach your child to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncom-ing traffi c. This vital skill is especially important when children are dis-

tracted and excited. Never rely on traffi c signals alone – use your eyes and ears to make sure it’s safe to cross.

3. It’s unsafe to cross between parked cars or other obstacles – always cross at crosswalks, street corners or intersections. Many injuries occur when children run out between parked cars, but even at intersections it’s vital that children practice tip #2.

4. Stay on the sidewalk or path when walking from house to house and if there is no sidewalk, walk beside the road, fa-cing traffi c so drivers can see you. If your neigh-bourhood has no side-walks, walking beside the road at night can be very dangerous – adult accom-paniment, fl ashlights and refl ective clothing are a must, regardless of the

child’s age.5. Select costumes with

bright colours to increase your child’s visibility and choose face paint instead of masks. Masks can make it hard for your child to see properly and often restrict peripheral vision, making it diffi cult to check for oncoming traffi c before crossing a road.

With witches, goblins, and superheroes des-cending on the neigh-bourhoods, the Thomp-son RCMP encourages parents and caregivers to follow the safety tips to help prepare their children for a safe and enjoyable trick-or-treat-ing holiday. Halloween should be fi lled with sur-prise and enjoyment and practising these tips can help keep Halloween safe and fun!

OK, so this is suppos-ed to be a column about spiritual thoughts: easy to write when working as a minister and thinking about spiritual things all the time. But I’m retired and travelling across east-ern Canada. First - med-ical appointments in Win-nipeg; visit a sick friend; visit a former member of

the church. Next, make my way to Hamilton and son, then a family wed-ding outside in mud and 3C in southern Ontario. Visit more people who used to be in St. John’s then off to New Bruns-wick to daughter, grand-children and cousins. A week of noise and the si-lence of the highway was

good. Secondary high-ways through the Eastern Townships of Quebec were like travelling back 100 years with the buildings right up on the edge of the pavement. More cousins and my aunt, more old Thompsonites, and then on to my old university where my adult life start-ed. Now for the trip home.

I’ve been thinking more about highways and road signs, traffi c and memories than spiritual thoughts. But God is God whether I’m preparing a sermon or not, acting as the minister or not. So this is what the rest of life is like!

Thanks are offered for all the things we are nor-mally thankful for: health, family, food, the beauty of the land, opportunity. Help is looked for in the traffi c, in the dark, for family concerns. Prayers are offered every time the

news is heard; prayers for peace, for safety, for ebola victims.

But what is spirit-ual about a journey like this? What are the spirit-ual challenges? Make a list: patience, forgive-ness, hope, compassion. Of course the person (not visited) who has been most destructive of my family presents me with my greatest spiritual chal-lenge because Jesus sure wouldn’t think of him the way I do. That’s really an-noying! Take more time for prayer.

Church buildings along the way raised questions of the spirit that has guid-ed the Christian commun-ity through the centuries (remember I was in old Quebec). There were the tiny old buildings now used as private homes or machine sheds. Many small buildings are still in use but probably locked.

There were wooden ones, brick ones, stone ones. There were church build-ings that looked like Euro-pean cathedrals ruling the neighbourhood. There were huge modern fac-tory-like buildings. There is one gigantic Presby-terian red brick building across the street from a Roman Catholic one. The Roman Catholic building rose tall with spires pro-claiming God’s heavenly kingdom. The Presbyter-ian one was squat, heavy, spread out, looking like a Romulan man-o-war declaring God’s rule on Earth. Where is the church building that is open, wel-coming, and healing as Jesus was?

I asked my aunt who is 95 years old what the spiritual atmosphere of her life is. “It’s very sim-ple,” she said. “I have such a deep personal con-nection with Jesus that I’m

never alone. I talk with God all day. There is noth-ing to worry about. If a problem comes up I know that a solution will be found. It’s simple really.”

In that simplicity is more beauty than all the fall colours, the rivers and lakes and the celebra-tions. That, and a four-year-old grandson who says “Grandma King, I really like you.”

All of our buildings, all our theology, all our doc-trines and rituals are im-portant for a number of reasons, not all of which are valid. All fade before the spirit of companion-ship with Jesus and the trusting love of a child. Spirituality is about re-lationships between God and those in our lives and thanks be to God for that.

A not-for-the-frail trail.We were up at 5 a.m.

and on the road at 6 a.m. The plan was to arrive at Pisew Falls prior to 8 a.m. and get a decent start on a 22-kilometre hike from the falls parking lot to Mani-toba’s highest waterfall, Kwasitchewan Falls. Ted and Cathy Stabback, along with my wife Leone and I planned to do it in the single day – hike up, have a bite to eat, check out the falls, and return. We fi gured we could be back before 6 p.m. We fi gured right.

After a small snack and some water, we were underway. The morning was cool, so prior to leav-ing the vehicle we dressed for it; however, we weren’t far down the trail and the sweatshirts and jackets were off and stowed in our packs.

It was a glorious day; around 10 Celsius and not a blackfl y or mosquito in sight! After crossing the Rotary Bridge, we were into the rigours of the trail.

Manitoba Conservation information describes the trail thusly: “This trail follows the Grass River, the key waterway in the late 1700s fur trade route known as the Upper Track. The trail leads the ad-venturer down the river to Kwasitchewan Falls, Manitoba’s highest, and two rapids above the falls. For most of the trail the waters of the Grass River are within sight and stands of spruce, pine, tamarack, and poplar provide shade and habitat for the many birds and animals that live in the area.” They also ad-vise that this is a diffi cult backcountry trail, recom-mended only for those who are prepared for a rugged hike or the experienced hiker. “Hikers should be in good physical condition.”

The trail begins with about four kilometres of well-beaten, but uneven track that straddles the Grass River, before you reach a portage from the Grass to Phillips Lake, where the loop begins. The loop gives hikers the choice of continuing up with a view of the Grass River and back within sight of Phillips Lake, or vice versa. We decided beforehand that we would hike up the Grass River side of the trail and come back that way as well; this plan changed halfway through the trek.

The statement that the trail is backcountry and rugged is fairly accur-ate; it is up and down throughout. Most inclines are relatively steep, laden

with rocks and roots and thusly, so are the declines. However, the view of the Grass River is exquisite. The shoreline changes con-tinually along the trek… from sand, to rock, to clay and even some of the long grass of which the storied river derives its name.

This particular trip was planned in the fall of 2013 to take place in the spring of 2014; however, a call to Conservation Manitoba in the spring resulted in their advice not to tackle the trail for a month or so. We were told that high winds had dropped numerous trees on the trail and it was impas-sible in portions. We just about went in the spring despite this information and after experiencing the trail, we were all glad we didn’t.

Over at least eight differ-ent areas of the trail there were large expanses of the forest that had come down on the path. It was eerie and sad at the same time, as most of the trees that had fallen were old growth – hundreds of years old. It must have been almost hurricane force winds to bring down tracts of large healthy trees so violent-ly. Added to this was the work of the river’s numer-ous beaver colonies. They seemed to strategically drop trees over the trail around every corner or rise. Something should be said here for the fi ne work of those from Conserva-tion Manitoba, who cleared walkways through this deadfall. There was only a single spot on the en-tire 22-kilometre network where we had to crawl/climb over trees blocking our way.

We arrived at the bend where the Grass empties into Phillips Lake shortly after noon. We took fi ve;

then hiked on another kilometer or so past sev-eral sets of rapids before hearing the thunder of Kwasitchewan. It was not only majestic in its cadence, but a wonder to behold. The falls drop 14.2 metres (46.5 feet) and they are enveloped in mist and rainbows from every angle. You can view them from afar, or get close enough to dip a hand, take a photo-graph, or shoot a video. We did all three.

After about a half-hour rest, refuel, and refl ection, we decided that it was a shorter hike to go back to our starting point by fol-lowing the loop around through the Phillips Lake tract, rather than back-tracking. This sat well with me, as an old knee injury was acting up and I was feeling the 14 or so kilometres we’d already walked. The portion of the trail along the shore of Phillips wasn’t quite as

undulating and this also sat well with me. However, it was a little more over-grown than what we’d al-ready trekked, so care was taken with every foothold.

The view of the lake wasn’t quite as good on this portion of the trail as on the previous Grass River section, but the sun shining through the trees lighting networks of cob-web and the pulse of birds chirping throughout made up for it. We were all feel-

ing the day’s walk by the time we’d done the loop, so the four or so kilometres back to Pisew was a little slower than when we’d walked it earlier in the day. Nevertheless, we were back at the vehicle by 5:30 p.m. and by general agreement, glad for the warmth of the heater and comfort of the seats in the SUV. We drove into Thompson for supper, then home to Snow Lake for some well-deserved and welcome shuteye.

Review: Polar bear tale combines

rhymes with facts and photosREVIEWED BY IAN [email protected]

A fun and educational picture book featuring the author’s images of polar bears and writ-ten in rhyming couplets, Princess by Dennis Fast is a great book for two- to five-year-olds looking to learn more about wild-life native to Northern Manitoba in a fun poetic form.

Published by Heartland Associates in Winnipeg, Princess tells the story of the mother for whom the book is named and

her twin cubs that come along later, Braveheart and Wimpy. The photos by Fast, a retired teacher and principal who is pas-sionate about birding and photography, show polar bears in all seasons and situations, from atop

the Arctic ice to lolling in a field of fireweed.

Forty-two pages long but easily read in 15 minutes or less, Princess begins with a general description of the Arctic environment and its in-habitants, then focuses in on the title character as she plays in the snow, heads out onto Hudson Bay as winter approach-es, and takes refuge in a den, from which she emerges with her two young cubs. In addition to the story, the book features factual tidbits as well as an activity page

at the back. My young test reader,

who is slightly above the age range recommended by the publisher, had no trouble reading the story and enjoyed the part when Princess had her twins as well as see-ing photos of the other animals that live in the same environment as polar bears.

The book sells for $19.95 and is available via Heartland Associ-ates. For more informa-tion, visit their website at www.hrtlandbooks.com.

Churchill residents have access to the latest smart-phones and visitors to their community will be able to use their phones from abroad now that MTS has expanded its 4G HSPA wireless network to Mani-toba’s whale- and polar bear-watching destination.

“Essentially it provides a lot of different benefi ts, the fi rst being signifi cantly higher speeds which is great for enabling mobile applications and streaming out audio and video,” MTS vice president of brand and consumer marketing Paul Norris told the Nickel Belt News the day after the launch in Churchill. “The second great thing for this community is that it pro-vides its residents the abil-ity to travel to more coun-tries now with the devices use. But what’s very im-portant for this commun-ity because of the large amount of tourism here is that tourists that come to Churchill from other parts of the world, what they use is HSPA technology. Their phones will now work here in Churchill so that’s a big boost for Churchill as well. Last but not least and the one that everybody’s ex-cited about is the access

to the devices that they’ve always wanted so all the smartphones and super-phones that are sold to-day.”

The 4G HSPA wireless network is MTS’s base 4G service and provides downloading speeds up to 21 megabits per second.

“It really is what to-day’s superphones and smartphones need to do whatever the customer wants to do,” says Nor-ris. “Whether it’s applica-tions, downloading and productivity, whether it’s video calling, whether its other things like stream-ing video or movies, that’s the network to do it on.”

“This is great news both for Churchill, and I’d like to thank MTS for the continual investment in our community,” said Churchill Mayor Michael Spence at the offi cial launch in Churchill on Oct. 15. “Churchill is an inter-national destination and the launch of this wireless service is another great feature to add to our com-munity.”

In addition to launch-ing faster wireless service, MTS also announced that it would be making a fi ve-year $25,000 donation to support Duke of Marlbor-ough School’s breakfast

program through its MTS Future First community investment program.

“While we were working on the launch of our wire-less services here we be-came aware of this break-fast program that’s run in the Churchill school,” said Norris. “They’re providing nutritious breakfasts to 200 students each mor-ning. And of course with

the cost of those kind of programs it was getting very tight for them and we thought what a great way for MTS to pitch in so we provided the school with a fi ve-year $25,000 grant.”

MTS Future First em-powers youth across Manitoba through spon-sorships, grants, scholar-ships and volunteerism.

Churchill joins Snow

Lake and Ebb & Flow First Nation as communities in Manitoba that have been upgraded to 4G HSPA service in 2014. The next communities on the list are Bissett, Middleboro and Fisher River First Na-tion.

MTS appreciated the re-ception its new service re-ceived in Churchill, which marked the event with

a performance by local school band The Fiddle-Stix and a raffl e in which one Churchill resident won a new smartphone.

“We couldn’t be more impressed with the Town of Churchill and the re-sponse that we’ve had,” said Norris. “The com-munity is terrifi c, there’s a terrifi c community spirit here.”

One thing is certain northerners love to write. Dorene Meyer, a Manitoban author, has released the fi fth volume of the North-ern Writers anthology. Tak-ing over a year to complete, this anthology features adult writers who com-pleted her writing course. Meyer says she publishes and edits these anthologies to give the hopeful authors experience within the in-dustry. “I produced these anthologies so that my students could get a com-plete experience of the pub-lishing industry including writing, editing, biography, author photo, cover de-sign, layout, readings and book launch. Several of my authors have gone on to write and publish their own books.”

Within the pages of this anthology are 16 contribu-tors, including Meyer. Stor-ies include a legend embed-ded in a story of a boat ride with his grandfather by Fer-rin Towers; a numismatist’s view of Manitoba’s trade tokens by historian Scott M. Hopkins; a children’s story about York Boat Days by Corrine Clyne; mem-ories of the S.S. Keenora by celebrated story-teller Clar-ence Thordarson; refl ective stories for youth by young adult author Dana L. Coates and children’s book author Brenda Fontaine; an essay on aboriginal poverty by university student David Kelvin McKay; poems by

local writers Doug Senio and Marcel C. Menow; a blog post about his new life in Africa by Josiah Meyer; poems and song lyrics by Dorene Meyer and Paul Meyer; children’s stories from teachers Erin Hop-kins and Samuel Parmar; memories of Holland dur-ing World War II by former northern outpost nurse, Suzanna Abels-Meyer; and

memories of her childhood in Tootinawaziibeeng First Nations by Deborah Iron-stand.

Meyer says it’s import-ant for her that these an-thologies are published. “The north is very under-represented because of the isolation factor. It is almost impossible to become a well-known successful au-thor and live in the north. I believe it is important to get

Northern Manitoba voices out into the public because I believe that everyone has a voice; everyone has a story worth listening to. We are all richer when we take the time to listen to the voices of people who are differ-ent from us in some way. People who have grown up in the north have a differ-ent view of life than those who are close to a large city.”

Many of the Northern Writers authors from vol-ume fi ve and previous volumes live in Norway House. “Many of the au-thors are also of aboriginal heritage and the book is made richer by their pres-ence,” says Meyer.

The book offi cially launched today with a book release happening to-night at McNally Robinson BookSellers at 7 p.m., and tomorrow at Neechi Niche at 2 p.m., both in Winni-peg. The anthology is be-ing sold online on www.goldrockpress.com, at My’s in Wabowden, at Teeka’s in Norway House, at McNally Robinson Booksellers in Winnipeg, and at Neechi Niche in Winnipeg. Meyer says the Thompson Public Library has received sever-al copies of the anthology, and there is a hope local stores will carry the paper-back in the near future.

Meyer says she is cur-rently working on a Grade 6 anthology, but does not have any immediate plans for Northern Writers Vol-ume 6 just yet.

An agreement was signed between four First Nations organizations on Oct. 15. Grand Chief Derek Nepinak of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC), Grand Chief David Harper of the Manitoba Keewati-nowi Okinakanak (MKO), Grand Chief Terrence Nel-son of the Southern Chiefs Organization (SCO), and Manitoba Regional Chief Bill Traverse of the As-sembly of First Nations (AFN) signed an agree-ment to work together and deconstruct provin-cial government’s Child & Family Services (CFS) system, which they called the “child apprehension industry.

“Today we ask everyone to join us in recognizing that the apprehension of our children into state run mechanisms of confi ne-ment is a crime against families and must come to an end,” said Nepinak in a press release announcing the agreement.

The Manitoba grand chiefs and the AFN region-al chief for the province believe the current CFS system is contributing to an ongoing genocide against aboriginal fam-ilies that are being denied the rights to care for their children.

“We recognize that the practice of forcibly taking children from our homes, our culture and our fam-ilies and into the homes of strangers falls into the category of genocide in accordance with the United Nations Conven-tion on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide,” said Harper.

“The denial of the liberties of our children and the denial of the rights of our children to our identity must come to an end.”

Nelson says if the cur-rent system continues, the province will see a negative outcome. “If we don’t stop this system now, we will see in ex-cess of $6 billon over the next 10 years spent on children apprehension, cultural destruction and the further institution-alization of our children and families.”

The collaborative ac-tion agreement on CFS began because of a pol-itical unity accord that was signed between AMC, SCO, MKO and the regional chief of the AFN in 2011. The sign-ing took place at a unity summit held in Treaty 3 territory.

Although Traverse agrees with the above

statements from the chiefs, he says it is na-tionwide problem. “The efforts of First Nations leadership in Manitoba are leading the way in addressing the problems with the CFS system. This fi ts well with the national efforts to bring these matters into focus and promote change on a broader scale.”

But Rachel Morgan, press secretary to cab-inet says on behalf of the province that the primary focus of CFS is the care of the children. “Children are only taken into care when their safety or health is at risk. We share common ground with the grand chiefs and agree that our goal must be to reduce the numbers of children in care by improving the lives of families so they can support their chil-dren in a healthy, nur-

turing environment.”Family Services Minis-

ter Kerri Irvin-Ross has spoken with some ab-original leaders and will be meeting with grand chiefs in November to discuss their ideas on how to support families and their children.

Morgan says Irvin-Ross is committed to bettering the children’s lives. “The minister has committed to offer-ing struggling families more services, counsel-ling and supports as early as possible to help make them stronger and healthier so their chil-dren can grow up in their own communities. The minister has also com-mitted to introducing more funding flexibility for CFS agencies to take into account family size, complexity of needs, geography and other in-dividual factors.”

We are looking for a reliable, professional team player to join our busy offi ce.

Thanks you to all those who apply but only the applicants chosen for an interview will be contacted.

It is important to sup-port our justice system in Northern Manitoba.

Our government has made a major commitment by passing legislation en-abling communities like Thompson to deploy com-munity safety offi cers. This will provide addition-al policing that will allow the RCMP to focus on its prime responsibilities.

We have also urged the federal government to restore its share of funding for the jus-tice system to protect residents of this prov-

ince. The federal gov-ernment is putting resi-dents of First Nations communities at risk by cancelling funding for the Band Constable Pro-gram, which provides 31 Manitoba First Nations

with front-line public safety, as of March 31, 2015. This will force First Nations, especially those in remote loca-tions, to rely on distant RCMP detachments that are unable to respond

quickly to community needs.

It has also failed to add any resources to the Legal Aid program since 2003, while Manitoba has added about $20 million over the same period. Federal support for Legal Aid, which once represented 50 per cent of the cost, is now only 16 per cent of the cost.

Manitoba is living up to its commitment. We need our federal part-ners to step up for public safety.
