Thank you and Farewell
Ishan Samaranayake has been part of the soybean and pulse agronomy team for 5 years and is now moving on to a new opportunity with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Ishan has been an integral part of the team, taking a lead on protocol and data management. Some highlights of Ishan’s technician role include learning more about field crop agronomy, travelling to Carman and Arborg field sites, and collecting pea aphid data in our intercropping experiments.
Ishan has also recently contributed to the Climate Action Committee and reviewed the University of Manitoba Urban Forest Management Strategy as an external reviewer. He studied wildlife on our campus from 2013 to 2021 and presented at the 2022 UM Sustainability Day. You can find his presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3RKgF_kjjo.
Ishan’s last day with the department will be May 12. Thank you, Ishan, for your contributions and good luck in your new position!

Subject: Agriculture Washroom Renovation
Good Afternoon,
Physical Plant - Operations and Maintenance has identified washrooms #122 and #124 within the Agriculture Building as requiring minor maintenance.
Over the course of May and June 2023, the O&M team will be planning to complete the maintenance required. Washrooms #122 and #124 will not be operational during this period.
As washrooms #122 and #124 are undergoing maintenance, an alternate barrier-free washroom within the Agriculture Building is located on level 300, washroom #371.
A secondary alternative would be the barrier-free washroom located in 65 Dafoe.
If there are any question or concerns, please contact Iex Wui Quach, Manager, Minor Project Services at Iex.Quach(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Iex.Quach@umanitoba.ca> or customer service desk at ppwod(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:ppwod@umanitoba.ca>.
Thank You
This afternoon (04-26-2023), you are invited to our Vendor Show, from 14:00 to 16:00
