Sunday through Friday on Global Thunder Bay. . Good morning and thank you for joining us. Thunder bay police are speaking out after three separate drug investigations resulted in the seizure of two loaded handguns ,cocaine and fentanyl. The op also confiscated handgun during a takedown in thunder bay last week. City police want residents to see how serious they are in tackling drug trafficking and taking guns off the streets. >> Just clement has the details and the span of just a week and through three separate investigations, city police have confiscated a significant amount of cocaine and fentanyl along with two loaded handguns . >> So we felt it was important not only to note the work that was was being done but also to make the public aware that there are out of district players in the city all of the persons arrested, six in total and these investigations were from our district from the greater toronto area and that the the work of the funderbirk police service is extensive in order to to attempt to stem the tide of drugs and weapons into the community. >> Detective inspector jeremy pearson notes the first seizure happened last tuesday at an address on hartland street and led to the arrest of two men from southern ontario and the seizure of over two hundred thousand dollars worth of cocaine and fentanyl. The second happened on thursday at a residence on fredrica street and resulted in the arrest of three men from southern ontario along with seizure of drugs and a loaded handgun. The third incident was on saturday where police arrested in southern ontario man and seised a loaded handgun and suspected cocaine and fentanyl. Meanwhile, opis made a separate arrest in the city last week and confiscated a handgun and ammo. >> Pearson says he hopes the result of these investigations creates some second thoughts in terms of the profitability of drug trafficking in the city I mentioned just earlier there is demand here. There are profits to be made. There are also risks involved in coming to the city of nishnawbe and dealing drugs because we are aware of this issue and we are working diligently to attack it. >> And pearson hopes the community will take solace and the fact that they're working diligently on getting guns and drugs off city streets and all the number of hartnell overdoses and opioid overdoses in general that we see in this community the devastating impact on the community when you look at the microscopic amounts of fentanyl that can be deadly and then you look at the amounts we've seised here. I mean that is potentially dozens of deaths that may have been prevented. I can't guarantee that. Of course I can't predict what the future would have been for these drugs but they are extremely dangerous. This is a significant amount and I hope that the seizures made an impact just klement tv news nishnawbe aski nation chiefs got a first look yesterday at the terms of a 20 billion dollar long-term reform agreement for first nations child welfare. It's one of two agreements resulting from a landmark human rights complaint against canada. The agreement is a main focus of a two day special assembly that kicked off in the city yesterday. >> Leiningen was there and the chief spent much of the day today going over the nearly one hundred and twenty page final settlement agreement that lays out how almost 20 billion dollars will be spent on long-term reform of first nations child and family services. >> Negotiations with canada are ongoing for the historic settlement which has been in the works for more than 17 years. >> Bonazzo grant chief calvin fiedler says they're 99 percent of the way there. >> We are close to coming to a final agreement. I think we can always see the finish line, fiddler says the agreement is about building capacity and empowering communities and families to look after their own children. >> We want the best for our children. The settlement stems from a human rights complaint filed in 2007 by cindy blackstock in the first nations child and family caring society with the assembly of first nations. The two part settlement is the largest in canadian history and provides twenty three point three billion in compensation for children and families harmed by discriminatory underfunding of first nations child and family services as well as this nineteen point eight billion for long-term reforms of first nations child and family services and jordan's principal programmes you as knough leadership janu and took that step that our children were priority that our children needed to know that we

cared and loved them and that we are taking back the authority to make those decisions with them and for the nannies that intervenor status in the case since 2015 after successfully arguing that the unique needs of rdand communities warranted a seat at the table, deputy grand chief bobby narcis says the agreement will reflect nande priorities including a needs based funding model and considerations for remoteness not just, you know, our flying communities. Yes, we have very unique challenges but also our roadthe access communities as well are also included in the remoteness aspect of it because we know that there's various degrees of remoteness. According to nurses, the rdand chiefs are the first in the country to get a look at the agreement. It will also be presented to the chiefs of ontariosot in june and at the afan in july leinonen tbps news efforts are underway in marathon to revitalise the port there. The town has partnered with the kabigon nishnawbe to form the peninsula harbour port authority and bring shiping back to the area. >> The port has been inactive since the mill shut down 15 years go. There have been efforts to bring life back to the harbour for years and they're finally coming to fruition. >> A port operator qsl has been brought on marathon mayor rick newman says they're already looking to secure a product supply and if all goes well, he's hopeful the four ships could dock within the year. >> I won't let more details than that. But what we're excited about it . But at the same time we're also excited about other products that can come through the port potentially with the generation coming on board other aggregates and we're hoping with terrorist. But we had discussion plumeri both their opportunity to send off a pulpit pwhl products to the european market. So yeah, we knew we know there and they're shut down right now but there's still potential there that milk gets back up and running and ships of product through this port. So there's many opportunities and not only that supplying the whole north shore basically from this port domus adds they still need to dredge the harbour aeroplane for four million dollars from fednor and the nt hfc to cover that cost. Additional work will also be needed to accommodate seagoing ships in the future. Confederation college president kathleen lynch is confident the institution is in good shape for when she leaves. She highlighted the college's achievements yesterday morning at the annual presidents breakfast and her final report to the community. Lynch cited new partnerships, the college's economic impact and the launch of new programmes as indicators of the college's viability. The report shows the institution has over seven thousand learners and three hundred and forty apprenticeship students across nine skilled trades programmes . But lynch is concerned about what future international enrolment will look like because of the federal cap despite the college being able to maintain its numbers this september. >> We are really happy with our allocation permit allocation but I think you know it remains to be seen how canada is perceived by international students so I anticipate they'll be a bit of a rocky road ahead until we regain some equilibrium in the international market. It's it's the future that is always an unknown. But I think that we have a great reputation both in the region, the province and internationally. >> Lynch will retire in september.
