Chief public health officer outlines exemptions to restrictions on travel to the north BY IAN GRAHAM

EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Manitoba chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin provided more information about the second public health order restricting travel into Northern Manitoba at his Sept. 3 news conference. The ban on non-essential travel north of the 53rd parallel and into remote communities not connected to the provincial highway system by all-weather roads took effect Sept. 4 but Roussin noted there are numerous exemptions. These include residents of Northern Manitoba and people moving permanently into the region as well as employees of federal and provincial governments, Crown corporations, other government agencies or child and family services agencies. “Our northern travel restrictions have never impacted the travel within Northern Manitoba nor has it impacted the travel of northern residents outside the north,” said Roussin. Travel restrictions do not apply to health care providers travelling to provide health care services or people travelling into the region for emergency medical treatment. Educational professionals such as teachers and professors as well as students travelling to attend post-secondary institutions are also exempt from the travel ban. People who own or work for a business who are travelling to deliver goods

Ban on non-essential travel north of the 53rd parallel went into effect Sept. 4 or public services or to operate businesses are free to enter the region, as are people travelling for a trial or other judicial proceedings and people travelling as part of their parenting arrangements. Visitors bound for cottages, cabins, provincial parks, campgrounds or hunting and fishing lodges are allowed to enter Northern Manitoba if they have no COVID-19 symptoms but are expected to limit their use of local services while travelling and staying at their final destination. Tourists are also allowed to visit Churchill, provided they travel there as directly as possible, whether by flying, driving and then flying, or by taking the train. Anyone travelling into Northern Manitoba by public transportation including planes, trains and buses must wear non-medical masks while en route. Roussin reminded people coming into Northern Manitoba to respect restrictions enacted by First Nations and that people coming into Manitoba who are required to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival are not allowed to travel to Northern Manitoba or a remote community until their self-isolation period is complete.

Man stabbed to death in Leaf Rapids A woman was arrested after a 23-year-old man died from stab wounds in Leaf Rapids Sept. 2. Leaf Rapids RCMP responded to a report of a stabbing at a Mukasew Bay residence in Leaf Rapids around 10 a.m. Wednesday and found the man unresponsive inside. He was transported to hospital where he died of his injuries. No further details about the woman who was arrested were released. Leaf Rapids RCMP continue to investigate alongside the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit and Forensic Identification Services.

Two people found dead inside Cross Lake home that caught fire early Sept. 3 A house fire early Sept. 3 in Cross Lake left two people dead, police say. Cross Lake RCMP responded to a report of a house fire in the Natamik 1 area of Pimicikamak Cree Nation just before 4 a.m. Sept. 3. The house was engulfed in flames when police arrived and was then extinguished by the Cross Lake fire department. Two bodies were later found inside the home. Initial police investigation determined that there were four adults in the house when the fire began. The other two occupants escaped safely. Cross Lake RCMP, RCMP Forensic Identification Services and the Office of the Fire Commissioner continue to investigate.

Northern Manitoba leaders unsure if COVID travel ban will have desired effect BY NICOLE WONG, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, WINNIPEG SUN Northern Manitoba leaders are unsure about the travel restriction that took effect Sept. 4 due to the high numbers of COVID-19 cases in southern Manitoba. A travel ban to Northern Manitoba was previously in place from April 16 to June 26. Similar to the former ban, residents can travel within the north as

well as to the south and vice versa for medical care and other purposes. All non-essential travel into the north will be restricted, but some exemptions were made for government and Crown corporation employees, health care workers as well as business owners Sept. 4. Manitoba’s chief public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin had consulted with the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC)

and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) beforehand to reintroduce the Order Prohibiting Travel to Northern Manitoba under the Public Health Act. According to Jaques, however, the province has failed to reach out with the northern communities about the travel ban prior to the restrictions being announced and implemented. “They did talk to the First Nation organizations,

but there was no significant discussion with the other communities such as Thompson, Flin Flon and The Pas about the ban and its impact on us. There was also no discussion in the north on how it is being enforced,” he said. During the Aug. 31 briefing, Roussin said the restrictions would be similar to previous public health orders. City of Thompson Mayor Colleen Smook believes that many of the aspects to the pre-

vious health orders were surroundings, maybe even flawed. taking a few more precau“There are too many tions. When the last travel loopholes in the health ban was in place, people orders.

Spiritual Thoughts

Travel restrictions worry Churchill’s tourism industry BY SARAH LAWRYNUIK, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS For weeks, the fear has been on the lips of tourist operators and hoteliers in this town: will the North be shut down from the world once again? And if it is, what will it mean for the meat of the tourism season that begins in October and November, known locally as bear season? Manitoba’s chief provincial public health officer Dr. Brent Roussin announced Aug. 31 that travel restrictions north of the 53rd parallel in the province would be reintroduced beginning Sept. 4, blocking travellers — even from within the province — heading north beyond Grand Rapids. With a swell in the number of COVID-19 cases in southern regions of the province

over the past few weeks, the travel restrictions that had been implemented earlier this year were reinstated. Churchill, however, did receive an exemption for visitors travelling directly into town by air. But people who may have planned trips by train are now cancelling. Bill Fong owns the eightroom Iceberg Inn hotel and, in less than 24 hours, he’s had 15 cancellations for September and October, he told the Winnipeg Free Press. “We can’t control what the government does, we just hope there will be a way for the guests to come see the bears,” Fong said. While he has no plans to get rich running a small hotel in his retirement, he does want to be able to cover his costs. Churchill’s tourism industry was rocked this year when virtually overnight all international bookings — which

make up the bulk of business — dried up. Fong said it meant that he went from steady bookings that were made months or even a year in advance, to reservations made by Manitobans and western Canadians in some cases only days or hours ahead of their arrivals. It’s changed the fundamental way business is conducted in the community of 900. A Travel Manitoba study in 2017 valued Churchill’s tourism industry at $41.7 million, with the bulk of business being done during the roughly six weeks when polar bears move from the tundra landscape out onto Hudson Bay as it freezes. The industry generated $19.2 million in annual tax revenues to all three levels of government and created roughly 840 full-time jobs that year, according to the study. Travel Manitoba has been

running ad campaigns all summer trying to encourage Canadians to visit Churchill. The agency declined to comment on the likely impact of the new restrictions until receiving further clarification from the province. Alex de Vries-Magnifico is a tour guide and owner of Discover Churchill, which principally offers photography tours. Contrary to what he was expecting, de VriesMagnifico said he had one of the best summers he’s had since opening his business. He attributed that to an influx of Canadian tourists looking for à la carte tours, instead of purchasing packages with bigger outfitters. But most of those people who book with him are also looking to save some money and they take the train, he said. With the Churchill exemption applying only to direct travel, that business will likely dry up.

Churchill train travel on track BY SARAH LAWRYNUIK, LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER, WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Manitoba’s chief public health officer has clarified exemptions to the order that prohibits travel north of the 53rd parallel, especially where it pertains to the town of Churchill.

Dr. Brent Roussin said an exemption to the travel restrictions applies to: people living in the region, or permanently moving to the region; employees of the federal or provincial governments or Crown corporations; health-care workers and Child and Family Services employees; teachers, professors or students travelling

for the purposes of education; people who own, operate or work for a business who are travelling to deliver goods or operate the business. Travel is also allowed for judicial proceedings and parenting arrangements. People can travel to cottages or provincial parks, as well as hunting and fishing lodges, but must limit their use of local services. “People can also travel to Churchill if they have no symptoms of COVID-19 and limit the use of local services while they are travelling there. They must travel there as directly as possible. This means they can fly directly to Churchill, or drive or fly to another northern city and then be transported to Churchill,” Roussin said Thursday. The clarification allows for travellers and tourists to take the train to Churchill (1,000 kilometres north of Winni-

peg), which was left in question earlier this week, when Roussin had said only direct means of transport would be included in the Churchill travel exemption. Churchill Mayor Mike Spence said in a statement, even with the clarifications made Sept. 3, he and other Northern Manitoba leaders still have many unanswered questions. “The top priority remains the safety of our community. Northern communities are particularly vulnerable, and it is important that governments and health officials recognize this. Information is key right now, so that informed decisions can be made, and risks mitigated,” Spence said. Meanwhile, tourism companies in Churchill are gearing up for the six-week period known as “bear season,” in which polar bears move from the tundra landscape out onto

Hudson Bay as it freezes.
