Churchill needs help now and into the future.

 

Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey has sent letters to the Premier of Manitoba and the Prime Minister urging both levels of government to act immediately to address the crisis in the Town of Churchill and the North resulting from the closure of the Omnitrax rail line.

 

Linsdsey says the residents of Churchill and other northern communities are running short of supplies and the region’s economy is in jeopardy adding they can’t afford the high cost of flying in supplies and they can’t wait a year for the rail line to be repaired.  He says the province and the federal government must act now to address this crisis.

 

Lindsey says in the short term the province and Ottawa must help offset the extra costs of flying in supplies to maintain the town, the region and their residents, in the long term, both levels of government must work together to nationalize the rail line and ensure that it is properly maintained and able to supply Churchill and the North.
