Tony Clarke is the Project Manager with Colby Management Incorporated in St. John's.

He says due to winter setting in and the weather being too cold for working outside, they put in a request to the Nunatsiavut Government to stop working for the winter.

Their request was approved so they secured the building and the building material and grounds and left last week.

Clarke says they hope to come back in March of 2009 and resume work on the building.

Once they start work again, local people who worked on the building previously will be called back in.

We contacted the local Nain RCMP detachment to ask for the latest from Constable Mark Blackmore.

He says the only information they are obligated to provide to the media is in a statement released to all media outlets who request it.

The statement reads “The RCMP in Nain, NL are investigating a stabbing that occurred in the community on Saturday, December 13^th at around 11:15 pm.

As a result of the stabbing one man was taken to the Nain Clinic where he was treated and then medivac to the hospital in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL the next day, to be treated for non life threatening injuries.

A male resident of Nain, 19 years old was arrested this evening and is facing charges of Aggravated Assault and Breach of Undertaking.

He is presently in custody where he will be taken before a Judge in the morning for a Bail Hearing.

The matter is still under investigation and the victim has since been released from hospital.

Alcohol was a contributing factor in this incident.

This sometimes resulting in unsafe measures, accidents and arrests.
