7.3 Bayline
The Bayline RRT was formed in November 2001 with the communities of Pikwitonei, Ilford, Cormorant and Wabowden. The community of Thicket Portage joined the RRT in December, 2001 and War Lake First Nation joined the group in February, 2002. The region is named Bayline after the rail line that connects these communities. The Bayline runs from The Pas to the Port of Churchill and is a major transportation and communication link in the north of Manitoba. With the exception of War Lake First Nation, all of the communities fall under the jurisdiction of the Manitoba Aboriginal and Northern Affairs. As such they are not incorporated and operate with an annual budget allocated by this department.
Including the inaugural meeting, the Bayline RRT has met on numerous occassions:
- November 21 and 22, 2001
- December 5 and 6, 2001
- January 16 and 17, 2002
- March 7 and 8, 2002
- March 17 and 18, 2005
- November 3 and 4, 2005
Thompson has served as the meeting site due to its central location. The primary mode of transportation between the member communities is the rail line. A winter road serves as an alternative for a few weeks.
Prior to the formation of the Bayline RRT, community leaders did not have a venue in which to meet and discuss issues of common concern. This venue has also proven to be a value to those businesses and agencies that need to meet and work with those community leaders. The meetings of the Bayline RRT provide and opportunity to meet with community leaders without taking the time and expense of traveling to each community. Thus when the members come together, the agenda tends to be extensive.
