Both Hanson and Beck are former city councillors and will join Mayor Cal Huntley and councillors Colleen Arnold, Tim Babcock, Karen MacKinnon and Ken Pawlachuk until November 2022. The two newly elected councillors will fill seats formerly held by Colleen McKee - who sat as a city councillor from 2006 until her death in 2020 following a battle with cancer - and Barry Kreller, who was elected to Flin Flon council in a Oct. 2020 byelection before stepping down from council in March for personal reasons. Hanson, who received the most votes, was first elected to city council in 1992, leaving after one term before running again and winning in 2002. Hanson held that seat again until he stepped down from council in 2018. Hanson works as a carpenter, general repairman and trades lead with the Northern Health Region and is currently the chair of the Flin Flon Public Library board.
“If you look at legitimate information around the risk and reward, common sense says you should get the vaccine. I know people are going to argue with me about that and take offense to that position, but that is my position. I’ve had the AstraZeneca and I will get the second one when I can and that’s how we’re going to get forward,” said Huntley. Vaccinations are available at pop-up clinics at the Flin Flon Community Hall, where first doses of Moderna vaccines have been given at various different dates over the past two months. Four other dates for pop-up clinics have been given for May 13, 14, 20 and 21, each of which will be held as walk-in clinics - no appointment necessary.
According to City documentation, the Bombers have an outstanding account with the City of about $27,500. The measure, as brought forward, will see the City agree with the team to “forbear from taking steps to collecting the amount”. The agreement comes with two conditions. First, if the Bombers have a season where they report at least $100,000 in profit at season’s end, the payment remaining with the account will need to be paid by the team to the City. Secondly, if the team is purchased by an outside group, the team and its new owners will need to pay the outstanding account out of the proceeds of the sale. A similar measure was approved by city council in the 1990s.
