Ratepayers Voice Many Concerns Over Proposed Joint Landfill

By Hillary Miller by the engineers. One community that relies on airport. An email was sent The panel then men- bring their refuse there,
concern of the panel is that river. She suggested to Transport Canada, and tioned the number of which begs the question

C oncerned residents
gathered at the Sandy
Lake Drop-In Centre on
the evening of Tuesday,
August 7th to discuss plans
for the new proposed joint
landfill site in the area.
An area councillor
provided The Minnedosa
Tribune with information
regarding the recent in-
formation sessions which
appeared in last week’s
edition. However, after
hearing the opinions of
many concerned commu-
nity members, these com-
ments may have been mis-
leading and have greatly
upset some concerned
ratepayers. Many of the
residents in attendance
expressed a high degree
of upset over the proposed
site and the previous ar-
ticle in The Tribune.
The panel at Tues-
day night’s meeting in-
cluded five individuals, all
of whom wished to have
their names omitted from
reports in the newspaper.
These concerned individu-
als specified that the group
is not working against the
dump and recycling cen-
tre, but that they are op-
posed to the environmen-
tal impact on where the
landfill will be located, and
how area councils have
handled the situation.
One of the panel
the proximity to the river,
especially given the pos-
sibility of a high-rain year,
which could cause erosion
and leeching into the wa-
ter.
Another concern is
that the trucks going to the
dump will not have access
to the landfill site due to
the restricted roads that
lead to it at certain times of
year, which the group sug-
gested that the council had
not properly considered.
The amount of power
required to run the landfill
was also considered at the
meeting, which will come
from Sandy Lake, and the
group worried that coun-
cil and planners have not
considered how this will
work.
Another panel mem-
ber felt concern about the
implications of the cost
and how much taxpayers
will need to pay. She wor-
ries that the Federal funds,
that come from pairing
with Indigenous commu-
nities, will not be enough
to cover the full amount.
This could leave taxpayers
in the area, which is large-
ly made up of seniors on
pension plans, having to
foot the bill.
Also sitting on the
panel was a member who
holds an environmental
degree and was encour-
that the site was chosen
because it was more eco-
nomically feasible, rather
than being the most envi-
ronmentally appropriate
location.
The panel worried that
the landfill will grow into
a Class One landfill site,
which will be bigger than
councillors suggest and
will be accepting of more
hazardous waste. The pan-
el is concerned about the
eyesore this will be, since
it will be visible from High-
way #250, and it is also
likely that garbage from
the landfill will blow into
neighbouring lands, taking
away from the beauty and
cleanliness of the area.
There was also frus-
tration expressed that the
information letter received
by some residents should
have been received by all
residents prior to March
2017. Some residents are
only receiving it now, mak-
ing it what she referred to
as a “hush-hush project”.
The group explained
that the landfill will not be
in close proximity to the
R.M of Clanwilliam-Erick-
son, who they suggest used
their “trump card”, which is
the airport near Erickson.
They noted that this is a
part of why the proposed
site was chosen, since a
landfill cannot be within a
they learned from Trans-
port Canada Inspector Jim
McPhee, that an airport
could actually be located
within 4 km from a land-
fill site, suggesting that
the R.M. of Clanwilliam-
Erickson’s claim has less
merit. A member of the
panel then contacted his
MLA, and is still awaiting a
response.
It was stated at the
meeting that a panel mem-
ber has inquired whether
or not there is a better lo-
cation for this regional
landfill and was told that
there was, but as the land
for the proposed site has
already been purchased,
the planning committee
are not interested in mov-
ing it to a different loca-
tion. When the purchase
of the land was made, the
panel suggested that it
was still covered in snow,
meaning that purchas-
ers could not have known
the state of the land. They
also pointed out that the
land was purchased after
the preliminary report was
completed, but before any
final report.

sloughs that are near the
site. While these have not
been counted in the as-
sessment, they include a
20 acre slough and the riv-
er. The proposed liners that
may need to be put in the
various bodies of water to
protect them from leech-
ing, cost about $0.5 mil-
lion. The panel wondered
who will be paying for each
of these? They pointed out
that the liners only have a
lifespan of approximately
25 years and as the site is
expected to have a lifespan
of about 75 years, these
liners will need to be re-
placed. This will potential-
ly impact the water bodies
if not replaced at appropri-
ate times. With this, they
pointed out the uncer-
tainty that if there is a leak,
since the land may not be
rezoned, it is unclear who
will be paying for the clean
up.
Another panel mem-
ber pointed out that once
the federal funding is com-
pleted, if one of the eleven
partners in the project is
unable to pay their share,
they will not be able to

“where will that garbage
go?”
The session was then
opened up questions from
those concerned ratepay-
ers in attendance. One
community member
pointed out that steps need
to be taken to control what
information is given to the
media, to ensure that their
side of the story is told, and
not just that of the council,
who has a specific goal in
mind. That same commu-
nity member noted that all
council meetings regard-
ing the new landfill were
held ‘in-camera’ mean-
ing that there has been no
transparency surrounding
this topic.
One concerned citizen
wondered what power the
public has in this situation.
With an upcoming elec-
tion, the group felt there
was hope in sight, and
public meetings will be
held at a later date for the
public to voice their con-
cerns and questions to the
engineers and councillors.

West Nile…
The first human case of West Nile Virus this year has
been confirmed in a child under the age of ten from the
Southern Health region in the southeast part of the prov-
ince. Manitoba Health advises that the risk for potential
human exposure to the virus is currently high and will re-
main so for the next few weeks. Residents can reduce the
risk of being bitten by infected mosquitos by reducing the
amount of time spent outdoors from dusk to dawn, using
mosquito repellent, wearing light-coloured, loose-fitting
clothing and ensuring that door and window screens are
secure and free of holes.
In the running…
The following question has been posed to members
of Minnedosa Town Council, “Are you letting your name
stand in the upcoming Civic Election?” Here are the an-
swers: Ray Orr – No, Harvey Wedgewood – No, Frank
Taylor – Yes, Rick Saler – Yes, Judith MacDowall – Maybe,
Len Luker – Maybe, Pat Skatch – Maybe.
Good Rockin’ tonight…
Other than an afternoon down pour and some hail
on Saturday, the August long weekend forecast was per-
fect for the thousands of rock fans who took in the tunes
and comradery at the fifteenth annual Rockin’ the Fields
of Minnedosa. Early last week, the festival campgrounds
began filling up with die-hard rock fans and following
another successful festival weekend, there was a steady
flow of camper traffic heading out of Minnedosa all day
Monday. Hats off to all organizers and volunteers in-
volved in another smooth run for the annual festival.
With this year’s festival wrapped up, planning for 2019
will soon begin!

D
uring our spring legislative session, which con-
cluded on Monday, June 25th, our Progressive
Conservative government took several important
steps as part of our commitment to fix Manitoba’s fi-
nances, repair our services and rebuild the economy.
Budget 2018, which we introduced in March,
brings real progress for families in reducing the deficit
by $319 million, delivering the largest tax cut ever seen
in Manitoba and keeping our government on sched-
ule toward reducing the provincial sales tax to seven
per cent by 2020, as we have promised. The budget
makes Manitoba’s largest-ever investment in health
care and increases funding for the education and fam-
ilies departments, while ensuring we further upgrade
our infrastructure.
We are bringing improved planning efficiency to
rural municipalities with the Planning Amendment
Act, while allowing municipalities to use an evidence-
based approach to ensure fair opportunities for de-
velopment and growth. With separate legislation, our
government is also cutting red tape by consolidating
the licensing system for heavy trucks, and we are al-
lowing municipalities to set speed limits on their
roads.
As well, we are improving safety on Manitoba’s
streets and highways through licence suspensions for
the use of hand-held electronic devices while driving.
And to prepare for the upcoming federal legalization
of the recreational use of cannabis, we are imposing

tough sanctions for driving under the influence of
drugs.
Our Manitoba government is going further to deal
with Ottawa’s planned cannabis legalization, by pro-
hibiting the smoking and vaping of cannabis at out-
door public places such as sidewalks, restaurant pati-
os, parks, school grounds and beaches. This restriction
builds on our provincial legislation that bans vaping
and smoking cannabis at enclosed public places.
We have given better parental leave options to
new parents while extending leave provisions for Man-
itobans caring for critically ill members of their fami-
lies. We have, in addition, taken firm steps to decrease
the number of Indigenous children in the Child and
Family Services system through community-based
prevention and customary care, which recognizes the
role of Indigenous communities in raising kids while
preserving their cultural identity.
We are better protecting whistleblowers in the
provincial public sector, as we also restore account-
ability by ensuring the public disclosure of employ-
ment contracts within the provincial government and
the disclosure of severance payments to political em-
ployees.
When the legislative session resumes this fall,
our government will continue debate on our plan to
strengthen conflict-of-interest rules for MLAs and on
our Wildlife Amendment Act, which would better reg-
ulate night hunting to improve public safety.
We remain committed to making Manitoba the
most improved province in Canada. The legislative
steps we have taken in this past spring session have
kept us firmly on that path.

What Kind of Grown-Up Do You Want
Your Child/Children to Become?
By SHERRILOU POLLON
I f I was to hazard a guess I would say you want your
child/children to become well rounded adults. Mean-
ing, that they are living a balanced life in the following
areas; home life, mental/emotional, social/friends/com-
munity, spiritual, occupational/school/financial, physi-
cal/health, family/brothers/sisters, and recreational/fun
by the time they become adults.
Every area of our life interacts with another. If you
find yourself struggling in one area of life it will impact
others. So, checking in on how you and your children are
mastering all areas of life is important to a balanced life.
Assess all eight areas for a well-rounded life. Assess
the areas with a 1=Not good to 10=Great. If you give a five
or less in any area that means there is room for improve-
ment. Having an eight and above in all areas indicates
that you and your children are having a very well-round-
ed life experience.
Check in with the “Wheel of a Balanced Life”
Home Life – what’s happening at home absolutely
has an impact on every other area in your child’s life. Is
the home in general, a happy supportive environment?
Social/friends/community - does your child/
tween/teen have friends, go to birthday parties, play
in the park with other kids, generally feel comfortable
around other kids? Interacting with other kids only on
social media is a one. Does your child/tween/teen feel
comfortable volunteering within the community?
Spirituality – whether you have a particular faith or
not, are values and morals being talked about within the
home?
Occupational/School/Financial - is there conver-
MYJC Closing for the Season
As summer begins to slowly wind down, so does the program at
the Minnedosa Manitoba Youth Job Centre (MYJC). As the Youth
Engagement Leader, I would like to thank a number of people for
their support throughout our successful season.
To begin with, a big thank-you goes out to my Sponsoring
Committee, Yellowhead Regional Employment Skills and Services,
who have been very supportive of the MYJC Program. As well,
many thanks are due to the numerous employers, both businesses
and homeowners, who have placed job orders with the centre this
summer. Your participation in the job referral service provides youth
and students in our community with the opportunity to gain work
experience and an income. Thank-you to all of the volunteers who
helped out at any of our events, and to the community members
who attended. The MYJC Program depends on the partnership with
community members, and our success is due largely to you. Thanks!
Last, but not least, a huge thank-you goes out to the students
and youth who registered with the centre. We hope that your
job search continues to be successful!
The MYJC Offices close for the season on Friday, August 17th.
We will re-open in May of 2019, so be sure to look for us in spring.
If you have any last-minute questions about the MYJC and its
services, please don’t hesitate to call me at (204) 868-0364.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

sation happening regarding education with an end goal
of getting the dream job and being able to support them-
selves as adults? Is getting homework done, happening?
Is your tween/teen working part-time perhaps babysit-
ting or in one of the local businesses? Maybe they have
their own business grass cutting, snow removal, etc. Do
all the kids above the age of two, have chores. For the very
little it may be helping pick up and put away their toys.
Mental/Emotional – is your child/tween/teen gen-
erally happy, talkative, wanting to interact with all family
members?
Physical/Health – what does meal and snack times
look like in your house? Are there fruits, veggies, pro-
tein sources, healthy drinks including water (sugary fruit
drinks and pop do not qualify as healthy beverages). Are
you and your children outside playing games, hiking,
bike riding, in general up and moving? Yes, this includes
the tweens and teens.
Family – are all members in the family getting along
and enjoying spending time together?
Recreational/Fun – as a family unit do you make
time to go on a holiday, weekend away, and if that’s not
affordable go as a family unit to the park for a picnic, go
skating, hiking, movie night, board game or card game
night?
You may have noticed that interacting on social
media whether it’s on a computer or cell phone doesn’t
make it onto the “wheel of a balanced life”. Children/
tweens/teens, no matter the age all have to have regular
interaction in person, with other members of their fami-
lies and friends to have a well-balanced life so they can
go out into world with high self-esteem and confidence.
Although we can’t guarantee how our kids will “turn out”,
every interaction we have with them does shape their
lives – especially when they are young and their core
thoughts and belief systems are being formed.
Sitting down as a family to go through this exercise
can help them understand why you make the decisions
you make (such as why you don’t buy them sweet treats
every time you go to the grocery store, why they have
household responsibilities, and why you don’t serve
cookies for supper).
Checking in to see how your family is doing on the
“Wheel of a Balanced Life” is something that should be
done on a regular basis. With work, kid’s activities, other
adult commitments it is so easy to get out of balance and
not even realize it. Have fun with this exercise and re-
member, “Life is a beautiful journey”.

was suggesting, since the
hope of the proposal is that

The panel was of the opin-

not be reached, especially
within the short timeframe
sentiment of the panel re-
mained that the expecta-
tion for the community to
reach that 60% within the
expected timeframe is un-

The panel once again
stressed that the group is
not against landfill sites,
but that the proposed site
will be an eyesore with en-
vironmental and financial
issues. “We still need this
us.” The general feeling for
the group was that they
had been blind-sided by
their elected council mem-

landfill site, and they are
concerned that the ma-

landfill site are not being
properly addressed. Panel

This, along with the aid of RCMP, who were
able to ping the cell phones of the tubers, al-

The tubers were brought back to the boat
launch, where EMS were awaiting their arrival
to ensure that they were all okay.
“It was a great collaborative effort with a

Dean Jordan.
While the Minnedosa Fire Department has

was the first time it has been deployed for real-

Mazier Enters MP Race

By Hillary Miller
W ith the next federal
election just around
the corner, there are a few
eager candidates gearing
up in hopes of winning the
nomination for the Con-
servative Party of Canada.
The first to announce his
intentions was Dan Mazier.
Mazier, 54, has spent
his life farming grains, oil
seeds and specialty crops
near Justice. He and his
wife, Leigh, have two adult
children. Mazier has spent
time as President of Key-
stone Agriculture Produc-
ers (KAP) since 2015, prior
to which he completed
a four-year commitment
as Vice-President. Before
holding these positions,
Mazier sat on the KAP
board from 2001-2006,
and was one of the found-
ing members of the KAP
Young Farmer Committee.
He was the Western Repre-
sentative on the Canadian
Young Farmers Forum,
and represented KAP on
the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture board, and
spent time lobbying on
Parliament Hill. It is safe
to say that agriculture, and
the promotion and pro-
tection of it, is something
close to Mazier’s heart.
In other areas of com-
munity, Mazier has served
as a school trustee for Roll-
ing River School Division
and has sat on the board
for the Manitoba Sustain-
able Energy Association,
the Mid-Assiniboine Con-
servation District, and the
Assiniboine River Basin
Initiative (ARBI). He was
a founding member of El-
ton Energy Co-operative,
a provincial renewable en-
ergy initiative.
In 1984, Mazier gradu-
ated from the University
of Manitoba’s Agriculture
Diploma Program, and
in 2013 he was honoured
with a certificate of merit
for his contributions in the
agriculture industry.
With all of this expe-
rience in his life, Mazier
feels he is well suited for
the job of Member of Par-
liament. “I have basically
been training for this job
for the last eight years,” he
said. “With KAP, I was not
only working with the gov-
ernment of the day, but
also all sides of govern-
ment trying to push for-
ward policy that affected
all of rural Manitoba.”
When the announce-
ment came that Robert
Sopuck, the current MP for
the Dauphin-Swan River-
Neepawa riding, would
not be seeking re-election,
Mazier began receiving
calls from trusted people
suggesting that he run for
the position.
When considering
running for the nomina-
tion, Dan went through
a long questionnaire to
determine his values, to
ensure that they matched
with those of the Conser-
vative Party of Canada.
Upon completion, he re-
alized how strongly his
views matched those of the
conservatives, and knew it
was the right party for him.
“One of the ones was sup-
porting agriculture, and
that agriculture should be
a key component to the
business and financial
wellbeing of Canada. Also,
the development of any
type of renewable energy
policies,” he said.
If successful in his
nomination, Mazier has
an array of plans in store.
“One of my main priorities
is the digital infrastructure
for the riding and for rural
Canada,” he said, referring
specifically to the recent
tornado in Alonsa, and
the lack of communica-
tive technology available
to residents during the dif-
ficult time. “I want to see
how we can modernize it
for all constituents.”
Transportation is an-
other big issue. This is
inclusive of not only the
transportation of goods,
but also of people. This
issue is particularly rel-
evant given the recent
announcement made

by Greyhound to cease
its services in the prairie
provinces. “There is an op-
portunity at the provincial
level and even at the feder-
al level. I think they should
be some kind of backstop
to make sure that people
can move in Canada,” he
said. “The moving of goods
is one thing, but the mov-
ing of people is even more
important.” He pointed
out that this movement
can be via rail, air, or road,
but he believes that it is an
issue worth pursuing. He
stressed that the enhance-
ments on Bill C-49 has
been a very good first step,
but that there still needs “to
be accountability on when
the government should
step in – we set up the rules
of engagement really well,
Three In The Race
L ast Wednesday, Dan Mazier was in town and
met with a group of local residents to discuss his
intention of running for the Conservative Party of
Canada in the upcoming Federal Election.
Two other candidates have also announced
their intentions to run for the Tory nomination:
Floyd Martens of the Roblin area and Ben Fox from
Dauphin. Watch for interviews with these candi-
dates in an upcoming edition of The Tribune.
At press time, no date has been set for the nom-
ination meeting to select the candidate who will
run in the election to be this area’s next Member of

Creating Waves of Hope on Lake Minnedosa
By Hillary Miller
T he Westman Waves
of Hope group is back
practicing on Minnedosa
Lake this summer.
Waves of Hope is a
support group for breast
cancer survivors. The
group consists of active
paddlers, support mem-
bers, and associate mem-
bers, which total 35 mem-
bers, plus alumni. All of
the team members hail
from the Westman region
with some from as far away
as Dauphin and Portage La
Prairie.
The group can be seen
on the lake Wednesday
evenings from the middle
of May to the middle of
September, from 6 p.m.
until 7:30 p.m. Each prac-
tice includes about one
hour on the water. While
the paddling did not start
until the middle of May,
the season actually began
on April 1st with dry land
conditioning at Brandon’s
Healthy Living Centre.
The first festival of the
Friday, August 10, 2018 The Minnedosa Tribune
season for the group is in
early June in Winnipeg, but
festivals occur throughout
the summer at different
locations. According to
Evelyn Cliff, a member of
the group, they also attend
out-of-province festivals at
least once a year. The last
festival of the season will
be held in Winnipeg next
month.
Every four years, an
International Breast Can-
cer Survivor Festival is
held somewhere in the
world, where teams gather
to compete and form in-
ternational friendships.
