Notice from the Vice President (Administration)
by cc-student＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Late this past Friday afternoon Winnipeg Police Service announced the arrest of two high school students on charges of conspiracy to commit murder. According to police, the two 17-year-olds had planned to target a number of public institutions, including two high schools, a local church and the University of Manitoba. Police have informed the University that the male and female teens were the sole individuals involved in the alleged plan, and that there was and is no risk to the University of Manitoba community as both individuals remain in custody. Winnipeg Police Service continues to work on the case and liaise directly with the University. The University of Manitoba takes this opportunity to remind our community that there are emergency notification procedures in place, including annunciator phones in classrooms, an emergency web site and text/phone messaging to students and staff. If you receive an emergency message via any of these means, please follow the instructions provided. If you have not yet registered your cell phone/ non-university phone number, you may do so by logging into JUMP. Deborah McCallum Vice President (Administration) _________________________
