Kick-off is at 7 p.m., which means that access to the Fort Garry campus, as well as on-campus parking restrictions, begin at 5:30 p.m. The Winnipeg Football Club and City of Winnipeg will likely begin traffic set-up between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Please watch for signage indicating traffic flow changes as you exit campus. Those students, staff and faculty members with valid U of M parking permits who wish to access campus by vehicle between 5:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. must enter via Kings Drive. This dedicated entrance is to be used only by U of M permit holders, providing a shorter, easier route of entry. After 5:30 p.m., those permit holders wanting to access U of M lots via University Crescent or Chancellor Matheson will be rerouted to the Kings Drive entrance. If you are unsure where the Kings Drive entrance is located, or how to access it, please follow this link to view a detailed map: http://goo.gl/maps/rh4qI Permit parkers can use any of the following lots, regardless of the letter which appears on their pass: - A Lot - B Lot - L Lot - AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent) - CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre - D Lot (June-August only) - R Lot (June-August only) Access to campus is not restricted for those travelling by foot, bike or bus, only those travelling by car. The university has thousands of bike parking spots, which can be found here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/media/Bike_Rack_Locations.pdf In addition, all regularly-scheduled Winnipeg Transit buses will be running, although there may be some delays due to increased road traffic. For more information about access to campus and parking on event days, please visit http://investorsgroupfield.ca/ Up-to-date info and regular reminders on event day activities can also be found on Twitter by following @UMoutstanding. The U of M map has added a handy stadium layer, as well, which outlines U of M-only parking on event days: http://umanitoba.ca/maps/ Remaining Summer 2013 Event Days: - Friday, July 26 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers game - Event starts at 7 p.m., access and parking restrictions begin at 5:30 p.m. - Monday, August 12 - Sir Paul McCartney concert - Event starts at 8 p.m., access and parking restrictions begin at 6:30 p.m. - Friday, August 16 - Winnipeg Blue Bombers game - Event starts at 7 p.m., access and parking restrictions begin at 5:30 p.m. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate this opening season at Investors Group Field.

June 27 Event Day Access and Parking
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CE727D.006B3EF0] The home opener for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers takes place tomorrow evening at Investors Group Field. Many improvements, including dedicated bus lanes, have been made by the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club over the past week in an effort to keep traffic moving to and from Investors Group Field. Some congestion is still to be expected, however, and those travelling to the University of Manitoba to work, study or attend class, are asked to plan their route accordingly. Some things to remember are: 1. Parking restrictions begin at 6 p.m. but football fans are expected to arrive earlier. The Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan goes into effect 90 minutes before the opening ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. Winnipeg Football Club personnel will be out helping guide early incoming traffic to appropriate parking lots. 2. Vehicles with U of M parking permits can park in assigned lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. Those vehicles with U of M parking permits can begin parking in the assigned U of M lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. and must be vacated from all other lots by 6 p.m. The assigned lots for U of M permit parkers are: A Lot, B Lot, L Lot, AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent), CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre 3. Vehicles without a valid parking pass must move off campus by 6 p.m. Parking permits are not required between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. in most university parking lots, however all vehicles without a U of M parking permit must be moved off campus by 6 p.m. 4. Kings Drive entrance is reserved after 6 p.m. for U of M students, faculty and staff. Students, faculty and staff with U of M parking permits are asked to enter and exit the campus via Kings Drive beginning at 6 p.m. Having a dedicated entrance is intended to cut down on wait times for members of the U of M community when accessing or exiting campus. We are encouraging accessing campus for parking as well as drop offs thru Kings Drive prior to 6 p.m. to avoid any early Event Day traffic. 5. Winnipeg Transit will be running as scheduled. Winnipeg Transit has increased its fleet to and from the University. Regularly scheduled buses will continue to stop on campus before, during and after the game. Winnipeg Transit will monitor and add buses to the regularly scheduled routes as required. 6. City of Winnipeg Traffic Services As early as 3:30 you will see City of Winnipeg Traffic Services setting up traffic flow changes for the event. Winnipeg Police Services will be assisting with traffic control beginning at 4:30 p.m. on University Crescent. We are working to ensure that students, staff and faculty who are scheduled to be on campus during an event can access and exit from campus in an efficient way. We ask for your patience, as well as your input, as we continue to improve the event day experience for members of our community. Further information, including answers to some frequently asked questions, can be found at: http://investorsgroupfield.ca/university/ The university's Parking Services website also has relevant information. You can find it here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/igf.html For event day reminders and updates please follow @UMoutstanding on Twitter. The next two event days are July 19 and July 26, both Friday evening football games that begin at 7 p.m. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate this opening season at Investors Group Field. I encourage all of you to take in an event at the new stadium.

Statement from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 21 Jun '13

21 Jun '13

[LH masthead.jpg] We are humbled and honoured by this announcement on National Aboriginal Day that the University of Manitoba will host the National Research Centre for Residential Schools. I want to thank the Truth and Reconciliation commissioners for showing confidence in us that we will be responsible keepers of the stories you have gathered and the conclusions you will make that will help us move forward from this dark period of Canadian history. We believe this national research centre will help our country advance on a path of reconciliation and healing. The University of Manitoba offers a strong commitment to Indigenous students, a powerful educational role in challenging settler attitudes to facilitate reconciliation and a central geographic location. The university has world-class research and archival expertise and formal partnership agreements with national Aboriginal organizations, academic institutions and other important organizations including: · University of British Columbia · Legacy of Hope Foundation · University of Winnipeg · Lakehead University · Red River College · University College of the North · Université de Saint-Boniface · National Association of Friendship Centres · Archives Manitoba · Canadian Museum for Human Rights I want to thank our remarkable committee of scholars and staff from across the university who developed an excellent proposal that enabled us to become the permanent home for this centre: co-chairs Dr. Laara Fitznor and Dr. Jean Friesen, Dr. Marlene Atleo, Dr. Greg Bak, Professor Karen Busby, Camille Callison, Helen Fallding, Dr. Rainey Gaywish, Dr. Kiera Ladner, Dr. Tom Nesmith, Dr. Janice Ristock, Kali Storm and Dr. Shelley Sweeney. I would also like to recognize the contributions of Dr. Gary Glavin, Greg Juliano and Deborah Young who have worked with the Commission to make today a reality, and I would like to acknowledge Elder Garry Robson and Elder Florence Paynter for the wisdom and guidance they have shared with our team. At the heart of the national research centre will be the statements of former residential school students. Their testimony, along with government, church and family records, will form a unique participatory archive managed through professional stewardship. Innovative digital technologies will allow survivors, scholars and others to use the records to tell many stories: the story of residential school survivors, of families, of communities, of schools, of regions and of the country. The collection of archives and testimonies truly belongs to survivors, their families and their communities. We will strive to ensure accessibility to all users but especially to survivors and their families, so they can learn about their history and the history of their communities. This National Research Centre will be made available to scholars from our university, our province, our country and around the world. Our goal is to ensure this centre is used by as many people as possible. We want teachers to share these stories with students and parents to share stories with their children. Since many of our most important and poignant lessons come from our children, I believe all of us can learn from the unique insight they will gain and share from accessing this National Research Centre. During Truth and Reconciliation Commission national and regional events, we have heard the heartbreaking accounts from survivors about the devastating impact that the Indian Residential School System had on their lives. We all have a responsibility to acknowledge that our national government devised a system that took children from their families and attempted to rob First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples of their languages, their cultures and their communities. This action resulted in the governments of Canada and Manitoba issuing statements of apology, as well as churches that operated schools, including Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and United. In October 2011, the University of Manitoba was the first post-secondary education institution in Canada to offer its statement of apology and reconciliation. We failed to recognize or challenge the forced assimilation of Aboriginal peoples and the subsequent loss of their language, culture and traditions. We apologize and it remains our intention, having said the words of apology, to move to reconciliation. As part of our role in achieving reconciliation, the University of Manitoba is working with a variety of partners to make Manitoba the national centre for Indigenous education and research. Schools need to be places where First Nations, Metis and Inuit students are safe and feel accepted and welcome. For reconciliation to occur, it is our shared responsibility to make that happen. Together we can ensure Indigenous students are prepared for and can achieve educational success in the full range of academic programs we offer. It is my sincere hope that we can enable the final chapter of our national story, yet to be written, to be one that is inspiring, positive and full of hope - one where Indigenous peoples are full participants in all schools, universities, workplaces and public institutions.
