Beausoleil First Nation mourning sudden death of councillor

Beausoleil First Nation councillor died suddenly on Oct. 14 at his Christian Island home. He was 35-years-old.

Monague leaves behind a wife and two children. He is also survived by his parents, three siblings, aunts, uncles, nephews, godchildren and many cousins.

His sudden death has left the entire community in shock.

“I can’t believe you are gone. I will miss your humour, laughing together, family chats on messenger, discussions on how to better our communities, debates and just hanging out,” wrote Marie Norton in an Oct. 14 social-media post. “So young. Too soon.”

Monague had become extremely involved in the Beausoliel First Nation community over the years. In 2016, he was elected to council and served as the youngest member of the community’s seven-member council. He also served as a volunteer firefighter on Christian Island.

“It’s hard to put into words how deep this loss is,” said Lace Copegog in an Oct. 14 social-media post. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without (Hank’s) advice and mentorship … I will truly miss the jokes, the conversations and the good debate.”

As a youth, Monague served on the Ontario First Nations Young Peoples Council. He was a big supporter of youth on Christian Island and impacted the lives of many young Beausoleil First Nation members.

“Another warrior has gone to the spirit world,” stated Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Glen Hare on Oct. 16. “The Anishinabek Nation recognizes the advocacy and voice of the youth representation Hank provided during his time in the Eshekeniijig Advisory Council.”

Ontario Regional Chief RoseAnn Archibald also offered her condolences.

“With a heavy heart, I would like to send my sincerest condolences to the friends and family of Councillor Hank Monague of Beausoleil First Nation,” said Archibald. “(Hank) was a dedicated First Nations leader in Ontario throughout his lifetime.”

Visitation will be held on Oct. 17 at 1 p.m. at the Christian Island United Church. A funeral service will follow on Oct. 19 at 1 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Niijii and Christian Island United Church.

Barrie collisions down this year, but fatalities have increased

Collisions in Barrie have dropped sharply during this year’s pandemic compared to last year, but there was an increase in one critical area.

There have been nine people killed in vehicle collisions so far this year, compared to only three during the same period in 2019.

The city’s police services board reviewed the numbers during a meeting Oct. 15.

Overall, 779 collisions were reported to Barrie police from January to September 2019, compared to 464 from January to September this year.

The statistics are part of a strategic plan update for the Barrie Police Service. The report states the reductions are likely due to COVID-19 restrictions, which have translated to fewer vehicles on the road this year. 

Collisions that resulted in injuries fell from 252 in 2019 to 134 this year, which represents a 40 per cent decline. 

Collision without injuries decreased from 524 last year to 321 during the same period this year.

Criminal charges were laid in connection with at least one of the fatal crashes this year.

Two teens aged 17 and 19 were charged with dangerous driving causing death after Paige Ferreira, 17, was killed in a crash on Georgian Drive Jan. 29. Police said a collision occurred after two drivers had an “interaction.” That case remains before the courts.

Meanwhile, charges have not been laid in connection with the death of 26-year-old Cynthia Cisneros, who was struck and killed by a snowplow while crossing Veterans Drive at Mapleview Drive, at about 12:35 a.m. Jan. 17. Cisneros had moved to Canada from Mexico and was working as a cleaner when she was struck. A co-worker was also injured.

Barrie police are attempting some creative measures in a bid to reduce speeding, especially in residential areas.

The report says a new initiative known as “Constable Scarecrow” will test if a lifelike cutout of an officer holding a radar gun will reduce speeding.

Residents in high-complaint areas will be surveyed to assess their feeling of safety and perception of police response.
