The federal government an-nounced June 2 that it would be contributing more than half a mil-lion dollars to help University Col-lege of the North (UCN) establish its industrial skills and trades training centre in Thompson.

Navdeep Bains, the Liberal min-ister of innovation, science and eco-nomic development, whose portfolio includes Western Economic Diversifi -cation Canada, announced that UCN will receive $574,000 for the trades training centre, which will be oper-ated in partnership with the School District of Mystery Lake (SDML) and is also being supported by Vale.

“The government of Canada is pleased to support the creation of the industrial skills trades and training centre and is committed to ensur-ing that indigenous peoples - First

Nations, Metis and Inuit - have the support and training they need to participate in the growing economic opportunities that exist in Western Canada,” said Bains in a press re-lease. “The government is investing in students and post-secondary in-stitutions like UCN, so that the next generation of Canadians will be well-equipped to tackle the challenges of the future.”

It was announced in November that the centre would be 19,500 square feet and be built on SDML property near both R.D. Parker Collegiate and UCN and will accommodate 126 ap-prentice/post-secondary students and 50 to 60 high school students. It will include a 7,250-square-foot heavy-duty equipment mechanics shop and 12,250 square feet for trades technology programming to support apprenticeship, high school industrial arts and dual-credit pro-

gramming. High school and short-term market-driven programming will include training in electrical and electronic technology, civil and computer-aided drafting technician skills, heavy-duty equipment mech-anics, instrumentation technicians, carpentry, plumbing and facilities technician.

“Western Economic Diversifi ca-tion Canada’s generous investment is well-aligned with UCN’s mandate to enhance the economic and social well-being of Northern Manitoba by providing quality, affordable trades training for our students,” said UCN president and vice-chancellor Konrad Jonasson. “The availability of high-quality equipment, made accessible through WD funding, will ensure that students are well-prepared and qualifi ed to fulfi ll the requirements identifi ed by our industry stakehold-ers and partners.”

Thank-youfrom a grateful family

It has been two months since Bob’s journey with cancer ended. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all who travelled with him. It began with Dr. Al Kadhaly and the nursing staff on the second fl oor. As Bob’s journey continued we need to thank all the caring and patient staff in the chemo room as well as Doctors Singh and William. You will soon have a much better facility in which to do your important work. We thank all the members of Cancer Care Navigation Services, Shelly Watt, Shane MacDonald and Jenn Th ackeray. We would not have been able to respect Bob’s wishes that he die at home without the understanding and respectful work of the Palliative Care Unit, Nicole Marques and others.

Bob loved this community and this community displayed love in return. Th ank-you to all who had any part in preparing Bob’s Celebration of Life and the reception that followed. You know who you are.

Th ank-you from our hearts,

Leona Mayer, Chris Mayer, Laura Mayer-Pahl,Melanie and Emily

Clarifi cationThe caption of the photo “Good news, bad news” that appeared on Page 2 of the June 1 Thompson Citizen stated that

no handicapped parking had been designated to replace the parking stalls occupied by dumpsters to collect renovation debris at the Thompson General Hospital. Inquires to the Northern Regional Health Authority regarding the construction and parking situation had not been answered at the time that issue went to press but the Citizen has since been informed that, following the removal of the two large bins and their replacement by a smaller bin which only takes up one handi-capped parking space, there are now four handicapped spaces in front of the hospital and discussions are underway to provide further designated parking for patient use while construction in ongoing. Expansion of the chemotherapy room at Thompson General Hospital began May 9 and, when fi nished, the new space will hold three chairs, a bed and an examina-tion room as well as a nurse call system and med-gas capability (oxygen and vacuum) at the chair location. The Thompson Citizen apologizes for any confusion.

The Thompson Regional Humane Society hosted its annual general meet-ing May 31. Chairperson Oswald Sawh guided volunteers and past and present board members through the last year’s fi nancial statements, noted achieve-ments and acknowledged the efforts of volunteers throughout the year.

The humane society emerged with a surplus this year, with treasurer Melissa Branconnier noting that the society is in “a very healthy fi nancial position,” with accumulated revenue to contribute to-wards planned building upgrades. Sawh noted that a healthy fi nancial foundation has been one of the society’s cardinal fortunes: “Over the years there’s been a lot of humane societies that have closed down across the country, and a lot of animal rescues as well. The reality is that you need to always have a strong fi nancial platform built in, and that’s where a lot of operations have failed. We’ve always managed to keep that in balance, either breaking even or having some kind of surplus.”

Sawh had several partners to thank for the society’s solid organizational foundation, beginning with the organ-izers behind Woofstock; Sawh singled out the festival as the single-largest fundraiser the society hosts, net-ting $25,000 in 2015. Sawh person-ally thanked event organizer Carmen Dusecina, Tracy “Smitty” Smith from Music Makers, and the bands that per-formed at this year’s festival. Sawh also thanked the Royal Canadian Le-gion’s president Rick Murray, who has helped the THS host its annual poker tournament, another critical society fundraiser.

Equally critical has been the society’s partnership with the City of Thompson, who has contracted the city’s animal facility needs to the society since 2003. “Without having that agreement,” Sawh noted, “We probably wouldn’t have been able to make a business

case at the time. It still remains one of the few collaborative facilities in the country.”

Dusecina, Smitty, Murray, and City of Thompson public safety manager Sonya Wiseman received certifi cates of appreciation for their work with the humane society.

But as Branconnier noted, the THS has always been on fairly stable fi nan-cial footing. But as Sawh repeatedly noted, the priority of the humane society is the welfare of the animals. In 2015, the shelter took in 226 animals, 55 of which were adopted, 67 that were re-turned to their owners, and 93 that were transferred to other shelters.

One point Sawh was proud to note was the progress made in the animals which have to be euthanized annually: in 2015, only three animals had to be put down – two from complications dur-ing birth, and one due to the contraction of parvovirus – a far cry compared to what the society was coping with in its early years. “In 2003 when we were fi rst formed, over 130 to 150 animals a year were euthanized, a sad reality of the system we had before. Even three to four years ago, we were up about 30-35 animals that had to be put down due to space issues. We’ve no longer had to put down any animals due to space issues, and that’s a huge achievement.”

Sawh attributes much of this success to Calm Air, which has worked with the humane society for years to help afford-ably transport animals who could not be adopted to alternative shelters with adequate space. “Arnold Morberg was a big animal lover, and he recognized the fact that we were not able to always adopt out an animal in town.”

The Thompson Veterinary Clinic also merited a society thank-you: “You know Bingham: he’s pretty straightforward. If we’re doing something wrong, he’ll tell us, and he’ll have this annoyed look on his face before he even says any-thing. But the vet offi ce has been critical: they’ve worked with us fi nancially to

keep our costs down. Without them in the mix, we wouldn’t be able to do what we’ve been able to do.”

“It’s one of those things that people can always relate to. People have be-come desensitized to a lot of things, but the things I’ve seen that still make people see red are the abuse of children, and the abuse of animals.”

Along with the society’s “foundational partners,” Sawh also acknowledged the exceptional efforts of several volunteers who have devoted countless consistent hours to the society’s fundraising and operations, like Glenda Weir and June MacTavish, weekend warriors who have devoted countless hours over the years; Ron Dyre, who has taken up the role of the society’s handyman (Sawh noted, “Everyone should have a Ron in their lives”); Karen Agar, who regularly takes the dogs on long walks to maintain good health and low stress. He also acknow-ledged Gianna Dusecina in particular as a youth volunteer, noting that future generations are critical to the survival of volunteer organizations like the THS: “It’s young people like this that really set the stage for us down the road. We don’t live forever, and we need people to come after us.”

Volunteers received honorary certifi -cates, as did Calm Air sales co-ordin-ator Brock Weir. A representative of the Thompson Veterinary Clinic was unavailable for the meeting.

For 2017, Sawh stated that the THS would be placing expansion on hold for the time being, while they focused on improving the facilities which they currently used.

“We don’t want to warehouse ani-mals: keeping animals in kennels for long periods of time is in itself an in-humane thing,” said Sawh. “We want to improve our facility where we can have a dedicated quarantine space for animals who just came in, a space for animals up for adoptions, a space for moms with pups or kittens, to improve on what we have now.”

The City of Thompson passed its municipal development and services agreement with Nisi-chawayasihk Cree Nation sur-rounding its newly approved urban reserve at the Mystery Lake Hotel, ironing out final details and signifying the final formal step in the 11-year process.

The agreement changes rel-evant phrasing in service agree-ments between NCN and the City of Thompson, and ensures that development on the urban re-serve is required to comply with city bylaws. While the fi rst draft of the MDSA was approved al-most a decade ago, the current approval addressed outstand-ing phrasing issues, as well as including a permit which allows

the City of Thompson to utilize the land as required to repair ad-jacent infrastructure. Council-lors Blake Ellis and Penny Byer both expressed their congratu-lations to NCN: “I could never fi gure out why it took so long to get a signature from the federal government, and I’m really glad that we’re getting it,” said Byer. “NCN has had different plans for that area for some time, and it

will be very nice to see that area developed, now that they have the freedom to do so.” Mayor Dennis Fenske also offered his congratulations, himself having worked on the project as staff, councillor and mayor through-out the years. “I’m extremely proud of this development, in the sense that it really speaks volumes to our aboriginal ac-cord and the respect that we

have for each other as a na-tion and a government, and as an investor in our commun-ity. I look forward to further development on that property, and further development with Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation.”

Fenske also thanked former NCN chief Jerry Primrose and former mayor Tim Johnston, who had spearheaded the pro-ject prior to the current council.

Tim Hortons raises over $7,000 for youth summer camps


June 1 was Tim Hortons Camp Day, the coffee fran-chise’s annual fundraising event: along with donations, the proceeds from every cof-fee sold that day go towards funding Tim Hortons sum-mer camps across Canada. Last year 18,000 underpriv-ileged youth attended Tim Hortons summer camps, including three youth from Thompson (who attended the inaugural year of Tim Hortons newest summer camp, located in Whiteshell Provincial Park near Pinawa, Manitoba). With some luck and generosity, Thompson hopes to send closer to eight local youth off to camp this year.

Along with collecting do-nations, employees offered

kids fun ways to win prizes, such as a sucker draw and a duck pond, while others collected donations in the drive-thru with quintessen-

tial squeegee service.This year, Thompson’s Tim

Hortons collected $4,219.34 in donations, a notable in-crease over a total of roughly

$3,100 from last year. Com-bined with $2,940 in coffee sales, the franchise managed to raise $7,159.34 for camps this summer.

Jeffrey Paupanakis, manager Kathy Cavanaugh, Mayor Dennis Fenske and assistant

manager Jibran Khan cut the ribbon on Tim Hortons 2016 Camp Day fundraiser.

My fi rst love for an animal was apparently a

beautiful white kitty. My Nanny Penney told me of how this kitty followed her and I to the Avalon Mall when we walked across from our home on Viking Street in St. John’s. I was young and thank-

fully don’t remember kitty being hit by a car, but I do remember many other animals we’ve loved and lost over the years.

Some of you may re-member Dr. O’Connor. My mom worked for him and he gave her a beauti-ful King Charles cavalier spaniel named Tammie. Tammie brought so much joy to our family. Despite the joy of giving an ani-mal a good home, sadly their life spans are much shorter than humans, un-less you have a parrot. My parrot Lucy is only 14 but likely will outlive all of us. She hopefully has another 100 years to go. Our sweet canines, on the other hand, have left us much earlier. Our beautiful res-cue dog that followed my daughter home ended up

living with us for 15 years until we had to let her rest. It was such a hard day for our family. Our pets are family and when one member of our family loses a fur baby we all feel the pain. Remembering Cuddles, Tasha, Winston and Sammy to name a few. Each loss comes with heartbreak but the joy they gave us stays in our hearts forever.

My brothers Eric and Bill recently lost Par-ker, who may have had the strongest will to live. Three years ago he lost his back leg to cancer, but he adapted better than we could have ever have hoped. He lived three years running and enjoy-ing being spoiled. Trips to Palm Springs and lay-ing by the pool were likely

his favourite as he loved the sun and also loved trips to the beach. The last eight months have been a tough journey for Parker being hydrated twice every day in order to survive but looking into his eyes you could tell he wanted to fi ght. He was helped day and night to make his struggle more comfortable, and loved every moment and knew he was never alone in his struggle. Parker’s kidneys fi nally failed him and he said goodbye. He will always be missed but we can only smile when we think of the wonder-ful 16-plus spoiled years he was given. I think it’s safe to say that he was probably one of very few three-legged dogs that enjoyed horseback riding.

To the Editor:

Why is it that in the 21st century, our nation’s immigra-tion policy is still tied to a colonial system that has outgrown its usefulness, but obviously not the infl uence of the English monarchy?

If you would like to see the prime example of failed colonial-ism, study that beautiful country of Ireland’s history. A Dutch monarch who took the crown of England (Hanover) deliber-ately put English lords in place and took Ireland by force dur-ing his reign. If that wasn’t enough, Oliver Cromwell cruelly suppressed the citizens of Ireland when he succeeded in one good deed - he rid England of the monarchy. Then along came Maggie Thatcher, who got tough on terrorists, as she called them, and put Ireland under the War Measures Act. Bobby Sands, elected MP for Ireland during a hunger strike, starved to death in prison while he was a political prisoner of jolly old England. She offered political asylum to Augusto Pinochet (the butcher of Chile) and refused to participate in sanctions designed to end apartheid and free Nelson Mandela (another political prisoner) in a white supremacist government.

In this century, because of royal decree, we are forced to give preference to former British colonial citizens, which ex-cludes Latin America, South America as well as citizens of the former Soviet Union.

The money sent to the Crown in the form of “royalties” would be better invested in Canada instead of propping up an institution straight from the fairy tales. Charity should start at home and I have a problem with one family having assets of $8 billion, while other people (commoners) work and pay to support our social system.

Recently I saw a front-page photograph of Camilla Parker Bowles, Queen Elizabeth II and plain jane Kate Middleton. All I could think is that not one of the trio represent anything about modern women. Get a life, ladies, and get a job! For some reason, “they” give birth to “royal children,” whatever that means.

Keeyask Construction Site

Construction of the Keeyask Generating Station is underway near Gull Rapids on the Nelson River. This can cause speed and depth of water in the area to change very quickly and may also result in an increased risk to public safety.

Watch for signs, buoys and booms marking the dangerous waterway zone and avoid the area at all times during construction. Be alert, don’t get hurt.

BY DANIEL MCSWEENEYA few of our Canadian

friends drive every autumn to Florida, Texas and Ari-zona fl eeing the worst of Canadian winter. Most are prepared, bringing their pots and pans, linen and bedding, television sets and pretty much everything needed to establish house-keeping while away from the Great White North. It’s a seamless annual migra-tion earned by making such moves on a regular basis.

But when you fl y across an ocean with 300 other people on a once in a life-time move, you can’t take very much. You only take what can be jammed into suitcases. But when settled, you realize there are things you need that must be rep-licated. It’s at that stage a process of discovery begins.

“You want to make eggs, but no spatula. So off we go to the High Street,” says Sandra. “And while I pur-chased coffee cups, I dis-covered we needed spares for when they are in the dishwasher. So off we go

again to the High Street. They are incremental dis-coveries making for lots of shopping trips.”

“Thank goodness for the local ‘pound store. It is our best friend in England.”

Shop, shop, shopThe “pound store” is of

course the equivalent of a North American “dollar store.” The quality of their goods is slim at best, de-pending of course on how one measures “quality.” Their prices though are ex-cellent. And what we buy there meets our needs.

They are like those “granny carts” written about earlier: a tad fl im-sy, but they do the job. We could have spent 60 pounds on each of those carts; instead we pur-chased a couple for about 12 pounds apiece. They are not going back with us, so if they disintegrate mid-trip to Sainsburys, we’ll just replace them with similar low-priced rigs.

We certainly have had to purchase more than a few items. They include small

cupboards for bathroom items extension cords; fl oor mats; cooking sheets; knives, forks and spoons; garbage receptacles; towel racks; additional shelving; a small vacuum cleaner; miscellaneous electrical connection devices – and even a small television.

Probably the most sig-nificant “missing” was something that really sur-prised us. It’s one of those “creature comforts” we discovered that we really, really missed – and wasn’t included with the furniture rented for our Solihull fl at.

We were watching tele-vision one evening won-dering why our legs were so sore. We clearly missed our footstools for relaxing in our big leather chairs at home.After checking out John Lewis, we discovered one footstool alone would cost the equivalent of $400 Cdn., hardly a price we were willing to pay just to leave here in England at the end of our stay. Eventually, we found just what we needed – a $40 Cdn. fake leather-

clad collapsible storage box that serves as a footstool.

THE ATHENA COLLECTION

This all leads me to ex-plaining the term “Athena Collection.”

It’s certainly not like Hyacinth Bucket’s collec-tion of “Royal Doulton with hand-painted periwinkles” in the British sitcom Keep-ing Up Appearances. And it’s not named for Athena, the goddess of pretty much everything heroic and the patron of the Greek city of Athens.

It is instead named for a delightful young Ro-manian girl who will get what we can’t take back to Canada. She works at the front desk of a local hotel and was kind and helpful during Sandra’s stay there in January.

She knows we are not purchasing expensive household items. She and her boyfriend though are saving to buy a house, and she assures us that any-thing we gift her will be ap-preciated. So every time we

make a purchase, we jok-ingly add it to “The Athena Collection.” We get to use our purchases while here and upon leaving, we lend a helping hand to our Solihull Athena, just like family and friends did for us when we started out more than four decades ago on the other side of the Atlantic.

Dan McSweeney, a Hali-fax native, fi rst worked as

a reporter at the old Halifax Herald, then got a taste of public relations work at Canadian National Railway in Moncton, before coming to Thompson in 1980 to work for Inco. He retired back home to Bridgewater on Nova Scotia’s south shore in June 2007 after 27½ years with Inco here. He blogs at mcsweeneys-diversion.wordpress.com.

For all of 2016’s cen-sus fever, some Thomp-sonites may have found themselves disappointed as May 10 came and went, as it appears that several residents did not receive

their census ballots by the census target date.

Local resident Louise Hodder fi rst posted on the community Facebook page Thompson Talk, ask-ing if anyone else had not received their ballots: she herself had not only failed

to receive a form, but a quick call to Statistics Canada lead to the discov-ery that her home had not even been enumerated. Others had been enumer-ated, but simply had not received their forms, while other households received

two forms with two separ-ate access codes.

Several factors poten-tially infl uence the cen-sus’s thoroughness in Thompson: as Statistics Canada determines po-tential addresses through a complex verifi cation pro-

cess, not all information is 100 per cent accurate:. Forms are often mailed out and returned as undeliver-able, and these addresses are currently under review as of the June 1 (Hodder herself had an enumerator visit her home shortly after discovering the error).

Nor has counting hous-es themselves been a sim-ple task for Thompson’s enumerators in particular. Statistics Canada’s survey patterns are rather con-voluted, due to the mul-tiple and parallel steps in the process. However, Thompson’s census of-fi ce struggled to fi ll their staff roster this census year. While Statistics Can-ada hoped to have eight enumerators working win the area, the offi ce had to make do with six.

Uncounted residents are concerning for any muni-cipality, but particularly for small communities that largely depend on govern-ment grants to fi nance their operations. Statistics Canada told the Thomp-son Citizen that census collection will continue until a “very high level of response is obtained for each community,” accord-ing to a departmental rep-resentative. Offi cial popu-

lation and dwelling counts will not be released until Feb. 8 and following this date, an appeals process will be in place to consider reviews.

But an appeal is no guarantee that a popu-lation count will be ad-justed. Wilf Falk, chief statistician for the Mani-toba Bureau of Statistics (MBS), noted that the province as a whole may have lost $500,000 in funding over fi ve years due to errors in the 2011 census, particularly dur-ing the post-census date review process. The MBS believes that roughly 16,200 Manitobans were unaccounted for in the 2011 census. “Manitoba’s position is that the sam-ples of Manitoban individ-uals used to estimate the number of persons missed in the 2011 census were not representative of the overall Manitoba popula-tion,” Falk explains. “As a result, the overall estimate of missed persons was too low.”

While Statistics Canada acknowledged that er-rors likely occurred, they could not identify where the errors were made, and therefore could not and did not take further action.

Some Thompsonites lacked census forms, enumeration on target date

The Best Western Thompson Hotel & Suites recently received the com-pany’s highest award for quality standards.

The 80-room hotel earned the Best Western Chairman’s Award by re-ceiving a cleanliness and maintenance inspection score among the top fi ve per cent of the Best Western International hotel chain’s 2,100 North American properties. To qualify for the award, hotels must also meet Best Western’s design requirements and have high customer service scores.

“Receiving the Chair-man’s Award from Best

Western is a tremendous honour,” said Best West-ern Thompson Hotel & Suites general manager Ethel Timbang in a press release. “This award dem-onstrates the Best Western Thompson Hotel & Suites management’s commit-ment to providing quality accommodations for our guests. Our housekeeping and maintenance depart-ments have worked hard to achieve this level of excellence.”

The hotel, which opened in 2012, has won the Chairman’s Award once before and was one of 44 Best Western International properties in the U.S. and Canada – including one of only six in Canada – to re-

ceive both the M.K. Guertin Award and the Champion Customer Care Award at

Gutsy Walk goes above and beyond despite weather


Walkers earned their pledges on a rainy Sunday afternoon June 5 when they gathered outside of 102.9 CHTM’s offi ces

to partake in this year’s Crohn’s And Colitis Canada’s Gusty Walk, a one-kilometre walk organized across the country

to raise money for Crohn’s disease and colitis. This is only the second year that the Gutsy Walk has been hosted in

Thompson, but despite the rain, event organizer Dave Moore notes that this year was a signifi cant improvement over

last year’s turnout: participation more than doubled, from eight to 21. As of press time it was clear that fundraising had

also exceeded expectations: while the goal for this year was to reach $8,000, the Gutsy Walk raised roughly $11,000.

W O L F S I G H T I N G SIf you have seen a wild wolf recently within 90 miles of Thompson, or taken a photo, please report it on: www.thompsonspiritway.caThe BEST wolf photo in the Thompson region & submitted monthly will win a $55 prize*.

Any wolf photo submitted may be displayed on our website. Your text or photo of wolf sightings help Thompson and region build a wolf economy based on education, research, conservation, eco-tourism, art & culture, and conferences. “Developing excellence in all things wolf.” * Conditions apply.

Players and coaches were soaking up more than just raindrops dur-ing a soggy Hope North fl ag football camp at the Burntwood Elementary School fi elds in Thompson June 3-5 - they were also absorbing knowledge from each other.

Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive back Donald Burrell, who played with the CFL team in 1981 and 1982 and was a defen-sive backs coach with the organization from 1995 to 2009, was at the camp for the third time and said it was heartening to see both sides acquiring new skills.

“This is a team-building atmosphere,” said Burrell on Sunday as the camp was nearing its end and teams were battling it out on fi elds that had almost as much water as grass. “Look at these coaches. They’re yelling and screaming be-cause they build a personal bond, they’ve been with the same kids for the last two days and they’re root-ing for the kids. That’s the most important thing.”

About 130 of the 205 participants registered for the camp showed up, said Kurtis Stolth, one of the or-ganizers, a turnout rate he attributed to the weather.

“I think the rain deterred the other 70,” he said, not-ing that it wasn’t neces-sarily the worst possible weather for football. “It’s probably a lot better than if it was scorching hot.”

Cross Lake and Split Lake had the biggest out-of-town contingents at the camp, with about 30 participants each, while other players came from Churchill, Ilford, War Lake First Nation, Oxford House and The Pas.

“Basically everywhere around here,” said Stolth, who thanked everyone who contributed to make the event a success. “Burn-twood helped us out big-time by letting us use the gym. Community support was huge this year and I just look forward to con-tinuing to build on it for next year.”

Burrell said northern toughness meant the weather wasn’t much of an issue for the youth participants.

“They’re used to being out in -30,” he said.

Talking with participants and watching the coach-es and players interact, Burrell said he could tell everybody was having a good time.

“I’ve talked with a lot of these young little kids, just telling me how much they’re having fun and telling me this is their fi rst time learning how to throw a ball and all that stuff,” he said.”I’m disappointed with the rain obviously, but I’m happy for these kids because they’re learn-ing a lot.”

That transfer of know-ledge was a two-way street, with the university and junior players who

were mentoring the partici-pants building their skills as well.

“A lot of these play-ers are learning a lot about how to work with little kids, something that they’re not used to do-ing,” Burrell said. “Little kids take a lot of patience and they’re learning to be patient, something that’s going to build their lives up later on and this can be something they can put on their resume, that they came up here and spent time with these kids and they taught these kids how to play a game that they all are passionate about.”

Fun didn’t stop when the players left the fi eld either.

“We fi nished the day yesterday and then we took them bowling last night and they had a blast doing that as well,” Stolth said.

Thompson’s Caitlin Fennell, who graduates from R.D. Parker Collegi-ate later this month, will continue her basketball career at the university level next season, having signed on to play with the Canadian Mennonite Uni-versity Blazers in Win-nipeg next season.

A two-time provin-cial high school cham-pion with RDPC’s varsity girls’ basketball team as well as a national bronze medallist with Mani-toba’s under-16 provin-cial team, Fennell was named an all-star at the 2016 provincial AAA high school basketball cham-pionships and was named by Basketball Manitoba to the first all-Manitoba team in 2015-16 and to the second all-Manitoba team in 2014-15. She was also selected for the

Manitoba graduating all-stars game this year, after averaging 18 points and 12 rebounds per game in her final high school sea-son, which saw her team win its second of back-to-back varsity girls’ provin-cial championships, the second varsity cham-pionship in the school’s history.

“Caitlin is a really excit-ing player,” said CMU Blaz-ers women’s basketball head coach Joe Di Curzio, “She is an effective player both in-side and outside and has wonderful skill to be a force for us on the court. Caitlin is a very tough competitor who has a real passion for the game. I think she will be a big contributor to our success this season and in the years to come.”

Fennell had originally been planning to go to the Univer-sity of Manitoba where she could have been a redshirt - a student who attends classes

and practices and trains with a team but is not a roster member - but chose CMU because she wanted to keep playing basketball.

“I got the call to come check out CMU and I’m real-ly glad I went and checked it out,” said Fennell, who is friends with another player who recently signed to play with the Blazers. “I’m real-ly excited to go to school knowing that I will still be able to continue with the sport I love and get a good education so it’s a win-win.”

RDPC varsity girls’ basket-ball coach Sara Gillis said she wasn’t surprised to see another one of her players – Adrianna Proulx will play basketball at Brandon Uni-versity next season – making the jump to compete at the post-secondary level.

“I’m really happy for Caitlin moving on to post-secondary education and having the privilege of playing university

basketball,” Gillis said. “She has had a success-ful high school basketball career, has had experience as a provincial athlete and has always had the desire to play at the college level.

I think Caitlin is definitely up for the adventure, the challenge and the hard work and I look forward to the enjoyment of sit-ting back and watching her play.”

Fennell, who wants to focus on psychology but will also take some busi-ness courses and other subjects in her first year, says playing university basketball has been a goal of hers since she started high school.

“At some points I thought I wasn’t going to and at other points I thought, ‘Hey, I can do this,’” she says. “At the beginning of this year I never would have thought I’d be going to be able to continue on playing. CMU is really good school-wise so I feel like I made

the right choice. I just thought it’d be easier, the adjustment from a small town to going and living in Winnipeg.”

And while it’s hard to say goodbye to the team-mates she spent her high school basketball career with, the chance to join a new team is appealing as well.

“I’m going to miss them for sure but I’m excited to make new friends as well,” Fennell says.

BY CHRIS & MITCH BYRNESPECIAL TO THE

THOMPSON CITIZEN

On May 28 LABAN Fit-ness athletes competed at the Club Taekwondo Challenge in Winnipeg, which included over 300 competitors from all over Canada.

LABAN Fitness brought

23 athletes and took home 39 medals altogether (10 gold, 12 silver and 17 bronze). The categories they competed in were poomsae, sparring and board-breaking.

LABAN athletes came from Thompson, Norway House and Wabowden.

We would like to con-gratulate all taekwondo

athletes that competed this weekend. They truly showed what northern spir-it is by competing strong and fairly.

We would like to thank all the grandparents, par-ents and guardians for their non-stop support and help-ing them get to the dojang for training everyday.

Northern competitors amass 39 medals at

Winnipeg competition
