The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
Dear students,
According to Dietitians of Canada, if you need to rewrite an exam, you should purchase a rewrite instead of repurchasing the course. This will allow you to retake the course three times. Please do not repurchase the course.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Nofisat Adelakun

Dear MAHN Students,
This is a reminder to complete and submit your final student assessment for the third placement on February 16. Remember this must be completed, signed, and submitted in the presence of your preceptor. Do not rate yourself prior to reviewing with your preceptor. It is your preceptor's role as your teacher to rate you in each category. Work with your preceptor to make sure they have set aside time today or tomorrow to meet with you to review and complete your form.

Subject: Opportunity - Diabetes Camp
Hi, please send to MAHN students 😊 thanks!
Camp Briardale, the Diabetes Canada overnight camp for children living with type 1 diabetes is looking for healthcare students and registered dieticians to attend a one-week camp in August 19-23, 2024. There will be a training day before camp.
Camp is a great experience – you will learn lots and have fun at the same time! We do not expect you to have any experience with type 1 diabetes, we will teach you what you need to know. Coming to camp gives you the opportunity to learn the basics of management of type 1 diabetes but more importantly will give you insight into what it is like for a child to live with a chronic illness that requires constant attention.
And Camp experience is also not necessary – this is a great opportunity to go back to camp if you have been in the past and an even better opportunity to go to overnight camp if you never had the chance as a kid!
The 2 positions that are available for health care students are “Medical Counsellor” and “Midnight Rambler ”.
Nutrition students who will have completed their practicum are invited to apply for the “Dietitian“ position (if you are a graduate dietitian).
Each cabin group has a medical counsellor who helps organize blood glucose checks, insulin doses etc. In addition, they also act as a general counsellor – living with a cabin group, going to and participating in all activities etc. (Don’t worry – there are experienced camp counsellors as part of the team). Midnight ramblers help check glucose values through the night – and after sleeping in in the morning are welcome to join in with camp activities.
Have a look at the dcamps website for general information about camp (dcamps.ca). Camp Briardale is hosted at BB camp on Town Island just outside Kenora. Check out their website to get a look at the site – it is beautiful. (https://www.bbcamp.ca/)
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. This is really a great opportunity – to both learn and have fun!
APPLICATION INFORMATION –
Our Employment opportunity handbook has been attached to this email and applications can be submitted HERE<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/28029ef6c91c4a09b3ad6001acc0d4b8>. Applications are being collected online through Smartsheet.
The first round of hiring will close February 29, at 11:59 PM. Hiring and interviews will be ongoing until all positions are filled.
Any questions can be directed to dcamps.hiring(a)diabetes.ca<mailto:dcamps.hiring@diabetes.ca> or myself in the meantime.
We look forward to seeing many of you at a future D-Camps program and making more memories around the campfire this summer.

Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
Good morning,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Shari Young, and I am reaching out to seek your assistance with an exciting opportunity within Island Health's Nutrition Service department. Located in the breathtaking Vancouver Island Region of British Columbia, we are currently looking to expand our team and are hosting a 'virtual open house' presentation in mid-February.
As part of this event, we would like to extend a warm invitation to your student group and anyone else who might be interested in joining our team. The presentation will cover essential topics such as an overview of Island Health as an organization, the various work areas for Clinical dietitians, support structures for new graduates and hires, available opportunities, and guidelines on how to apply for employment.
We believe this could be a valuable opportunity for students exploring career paths in nutrition and dietetics, and we are keen to share insights into the rewarding work environment here at Island Health.
I kindly request your assistance in putting me in contact with a faculty member who would be willing to circulate the invitation within your student group. Your support in spreading the word about this event would be greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Shari Young
