Dear colleagues,
I'm sure you have all heard on the news about the open letter that was sent
to the premier by a group of physicians regarding the province's COVID-19
response. I received a notice yesterday that they are seeking more
signatures from researchers and academics. If you are interested, the
information for signing the letter is provided below.
With all best wishes to you and your families,
Sari S. Hannila, PhD
Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network
Associate Professor, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science

Subject: Open letter to premier
Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for signing the letter of concern to Premier Brian Pallister. We
have attached the initial letter with 202 signatures for your records. It is
heartening to see so many physicians, researchers, and other members of the
healthcare community coming together to advocate for the citizens of
Manitoba. Since it was sent on November 1, the letter has helped to raise
awareness of the crisis our healthcare system is facing and to stimulate
discussion amongst the public and politicians. Our sincere hope is not
simply that the letter will attract attention, but that it will be a
catalyst for increased strategic investments in the resources that are
urgently needed to respond to the COVID pandemic and to save lives.
There were 202 signatories on the letter submitted to Premier Pallister
Sunday evening. We have subsequently heard from more than 150 individuals
who have also signed the letter. We would like everyone to have the
opportunity for their voice to be heard and counted. To that end, we plan
to resubmit a letter to Premier Pallister with the updated names. If you
have contacted us to sign on but do not see your name on the letter attached
here, do not worry, if you are receiving this email from
<mailto:manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing@gmail.com>
manitobadoctorsgroupoutgoing(a)gmail.com, you have been counted. Anyone who
is interested in signing the letter and has not yet done so can send an
email to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com>
manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com.The email should clearly state your name,
advanced degree(s), field of expertise, and email address, as well as your
desire to be added to the letter.
e.g.:
Jane Smith, PhD
Community Health Sciences
<mailto:janesmith@umanitoba.ca> janesmith(a)umanitoba.ca
I would like to be added to the list of signatories on the letter of concern
to Brian Pallister.
Please note that we will not be including professional affiliations, as we
are asking people to sign on their own behalf, not as representatives of
their employers.
The response to this letter has been overwhelming. We have received
multiple requests from the media for doctors to share their stories and
their concerns. This letter represents the voice of a diverse group of
physicians and academics. We all have unique expertise and experiences that
deserve a voice. Please respond to <mailto:manitobadoctorsgroup@gmail.com>
manitobadoctorsgroup(a)gmail.com if you would be willing to share your
experiences for any media requests (we would not give out your name/contact
to the media but would approach you as opportunities arise). Multiple
voices add strength to our message as we advocate for our patients and all
Manitobans.
We realize some of you may be receiving this email communication more than
once. We are just figuring out the most effective process for communication
and are grateful for all of your support.
