Welcome to a community of connections

[cid:image001.png@01D9DFE1.1600B100] Message from Dr. Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor Tansi, I hope you enjoyed our beautiful province these past few months. This summer, it felt as though wherever Kim and I went, we found ourselves surrounded by Bisons! We went to a jazz concert of Joni Mitchell covers and learned lead vocalist, Amber Epp, and some of her band members were UM grads. We fell in love with a piece of art and, as we were purchasing it, learned the artist, Jordan Miller, was a UM alum. Everywhere we went, we felt connected to this community, and we loved it. Our university boasts an amazing array of talent and when we come together, incredible things happen. We've been connecting recently to create important guiding documents, such as the university's new Strategic Plan<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan>, the Strategic Research Plan (coming in 2024), and the new Reconciliation Action Plan. We're not done yet and welcome your big ideas over the coming weeks as these documents continue to take shape. And once again, I'm hosting a Budget Town Hall on September 26 and I hope to see you there and hear your thoughts on this foundational document. Our campuses are full of a diversity of people working together to make our city, province, and world better. There's no other place like UM in the province and I am honoured to advocate on behalf of this community every opportunity I get. After the October provincial election, I will resume meetings with government to continue discussions on a variety of important topics that can help make our province better, like the value of research, investing in post-secondary education and respecting institutional autonomy, health care education, and Reconciliation. I am also looking forward to boasting about our community's exceptional work to the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce on October 20, highlighting the unique connections we have to our province's health and prosperity. But for now, September is packed with fun and inspiring events that connect us. Come out to Homecoming<https://umanitoba.ca/community/alumni/homecoming>, which runs September 19 to 23. There are events for everyone-from the Distinguished Alumni Awards, the classic Bisons Homecoming football game, family-friendly tailgate parties, and a fantastic concert. I'm particularly looking forward to the live recording of my conversation with Professor Niigaan Sinclair, whom I get to interview for my podcast What's the Big Idea?<https://umanitoba.ca/community/whats-the-big-idea-podcast> Join us in the Robert B. Schultz Lecture Theatre in St. John's College on September 19. This conversation with Professor Sinclair on Reconciliation will happen shortly before the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, an important day in our country, and one that is surrounded by many opportunities to engage<https://nctr.ca/education/coming-soon-truth-and-reconciliation-week-2023/> in reflection and learning on and off our campuses. And of course, this term the Bisons return to the pitches, fields, courts, pools, and arenas. I am an avid supporter of our incredible student athletes (if I miss a game, one of the first things I do in the morning is read about the results) and I hope to see you at the games. Faculty and staff can get two free tickets to the Bison Homecoming Football Game (use code UMSTAFF23), and students always get into Bisons games for free! Grab your tickets<https://am.ticketmaster.com/bisons/2023-tickets-football> and noisemakers and come cheer on our teams alongside me and the rest of the herd. I'm looking forward to bumping into you at a game, on campus, at a market, or on the street. Here's to a great term! Miigwech, [cid:image002.gif@01D9DFE1.1600B100] Michael Benarroch, Ph.D. President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Telephone: 204-474-9345 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cidimage001.png(a)01D6511F.169A1100]

by President's Office 10 Aug '23

10 Aug '23

Message from Michael Benarroch, President and Vice-Chancellor and Diane Hiebert-Murphy, Provost and Vice-President (Academic) [Image] Dear UM community, During the month of June, over 180 community members-including Senate, Board of Governors, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and stakeholder groups-contributed their feedback to the Where We Are Today report.<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2023-06/UMStrategicPlan-WhereWeAre…> Through an online feedback form and in-person community consultation sessions, you were invited to tell us whether the priorities captured in the Where We Are Today report resonated with what was said during community consultation sessions in February and the online feedback form available in March. We continue to be inspired by and grateful for your thoughtful feedback. The feedback on the Where We Are Today report, now available in the Where We Are Today Addendum<https://umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2023-08/StrategicPlan-WhereWeAreTo…>, continues to showcase our share commitment to knowledge, research, community well-being, Reconciliation, and inclusivity. Despite areas of differing views-which reflect the strength and diversity of our community-common themes continued to emerge, such as prioritizing climate action, supporting the academic mission, and embracing diversity. Your input has been, and will continue to be, an important part in guiding our path forward, and we are committed to incorporating your feedback and big ideas as we work on the next strategic plan for the University of Manitoba. We will be sharing a draft plan with the community in the Fall Term for further consultation as we start to identify and frame our community's shared aspirations. Once again, thank you to all who have participated in the consultation process for the University of Manitoba's strategic plan so far, as well as our Strategic Planning Committee for their ongoing commitment and guidance. Continue to watch the UM Strategic Plan website<https://umanitoba.ca/strategic-plan> for updates and upcoming opportunities to provide feedback on the strategic planning process. We hope you will continue to let us know what you think and continue to dream big. Sincerely, [A picture containing text, font, screenshot, handwriting Description automatically generated]

Notification of controlled detonation on Fort Garry campus
by President's Office 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

[cid:image001.png@01D9AB41.62C08B70] Notification of controlled detonation on Fort Garry campus Out of an abundance of caution, City of Winnipeg Emergency Services have decided to proceed with a controlled detonation to address the presence of a potentially unstable chemical found in Parker Building this morning. The controlled detonation will take place after 4:00 PM at an outdoor location, secured by Emergency Services and university personnel. There will be no impact on air quality. It is difficult to predict how loud this event will be for those on campus, but it is expected to sound similar to a loud firework. A safe perimeter has been established, and everyone is asked to respect the boundaries in place. If you are experiencing unease as a result of today's events, please speak with your supervisor about working remotely for the remainder of the day. Supervisors are encouraged to be flexible and support remote work in light of these events. Regular use of Parker and other affected buildings will resume following cleanup, which is expected to be complete later this afternoon. The disposal is being carried out in the safest possible manner in partnership with Emergency Services. The university will review all chemical storage protocols following this discovery and ensure we have every necessary practice in place to support the safe storage of all substances.

Notification of chemical safety precaution
by President's Office 30 Jun '23

30 Jun '23

[cid:image001.png@01D9AB41.62C08B70] Notification of chemical safety precaution This morning the Environmental Health & Safety Office received notification from the Faculty of Science that a small amount of chemical in a potentially unstable form was discovered in a storage room. Emergency Services have been notified to assess the situation and are being deployed to campus. Parker and connected buildings are being evacuated to allow Emergency Services including Fire, Police, Ambulance and Hazardous Materials to attend and assess the situation and to determine the safest method of removing the chemical. The evacuation is a precautionary measure taken to safeguard the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students. Once the substance is removed, it will be safe to resume use of Parker and connected buildings. We understand the concerns and anxieties that may arise from the evacuation and presence of emergency responders. Please be assured that our utmost priority is maintaining a safe and secure environment for all members of the University of Manitoba community. We will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
