HAY RIVER, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2014 ● 42nd Year No. 5 ● $1.00 (.95 + GST) ● PM#40012157 Town pumped for AWG bid SARAH LADIK [email protected]

While residents cheered on NWT athletes and focused on last week's Arctic Winter Games in Fairbanks, Alaska, a few set their sights on the games four years from now — which some hope the hub will host. "We can do this," said Mayor Andrew Cassidy, who was on hand to support athletes from the Northwest Territories as well as learn about the bid process for hosting future games. "This experience has just reinforced that we can do this and we can do a great job at it." Hay River, in partnership with fellow-South Slave community Fort Smith, will be making a bid to host the 2018 Arctic Winter Games, hoping to beat out Inuvik for the honour. The trip to Fairbanks was the latest step in a lengthy process required by the International Com- mittee that decides where the games will be held. It was announced late last year that the 2018 event will be held in the NWT. Cassidy puts Yellowknife out of the running for this event, as they're currently bidding on the 2023 Can- ada Games, leaving the two biggest regional centres to battle it out for the AWG. "It's been great to be here and see all the things we can cover off," Cas- sidy said last week from Fairbanks. "It's the transportation, the accommodation, and the venues themselves." Cassidy said that the venues for the events were fairly straightforward and that the focus of the bid would most likely be what he called the "care and comfort" of the athletes. "There's so much that goes into making it a great experience for them," he said. "There's a lot of cultural stuff photo courtesy of Andrew Cassidy going on and we've got some great Santa Claus, left, and Mayor Andrew Cassidy take a moment to appreciate the weather at North Pole, a suburb of Fairbanks, ideas on how to pull it all off."

SARAH LADIK [email protected]

Getting kids and police officers out of their habitual roles and creating new relation- ships is the name of the game at the RCMP's trapping camp outreach program. "It's been great to see all the officers out here interacting with the kids," said Commun- ity Const. Steve Beck at the camp March 20. "It pays off tenfold. I have developed relation- ships with potential clients and with partners in the community because of it. They trust me. They know I'm in it for their best interest." For nearly 15 years now, Beck has been running a series of trapping camps for stu- dents at Hay River and Hay River Reserve schools. This year, he has seen close to 70 kids come through the camp where they learn to trap, use snowmobiles, and get out on the land. ▼ "This type of program "They know I'm is spread- in it for their very ing across the country," best interest." Beck told Const. Steve Beck ▼ The Hub. He said he recently went to a confer- ence held in Whitehorse for many police forces across Canada, and that the NWT is ahead of the curve for many of the outreach targets. "Even though we bring the schools out here, it's open to everyone," he said. "Parents, whoever … we'll put you up and I always make sure we have extra food just in case more people turn up." The program seeks to break down the typical roles of police officer and youth. Instead, Beck said the program encourages young people to create connections between themselves and officers, as well as elders who attend the camp. "They learn to work together with each other and problem-solve too," said Beck, talk- ing about assigned tasks. Last week's camp participants included seven youth from Chief Sunrise Education Centre. While many were experienced hands, hav- ing attended the camp in previous years, some were new to the bush. "I'm seeing a lot of the kids come out of their shells and gain a lot of confidence," said Sunrise teacher Nathalie Diaz, who joined her students on the trip. "They're learning about their culture through experience, not just in a book, and that's a whole different ball game." Faith Martel, a student participating in the experience, said that she had been to the camp before and that she liked it about the same as being in school. "We learned how to set a beaver trap and how to catch rabbits," she said. Diaz said it took convincing to get some of the students out, but that once they got to the camp and started getting involved, they all warmed up to it. She also said she hoped the students present would talk about the experience to their class- mates who had declined the invitation. The relationship between police officers and youth wasn't the only one thing turned on its head. "The kids are teaching me what they Sarah Ladik/NNSL photo know," said Diaz.

Dohey also maintained that the policy allowed for exceptions in the case of meetings with guests or special interest groups. Deputy mayor Donna Lee Jungkind noted that the occurrences of the town paying for lunches were few and far between, but Dohey maintained that according to the records of cheques issued, the average was one or two a month. He argued that lunch for eight or nine people once or twice a month over the course of a three-year term was not unsubstantial. "It's pretty low hanging fruit, and maybe it seems a bit petty," he said. "But it adds up."

"We've had lots of com- pliments from players," said Andre Chabot, a league execu- tive member who hits the ice himself. "We scheduled 76 games in the season and we played them all.
