Forward: UMFA's March Invite

by James De Castro

Good morning fellow students, Please find the message from UMFA members below. A march is happening later today and interested students are welcome to join. Heather Stefanson Search Party Tonight! Meet 5:30 PM at the Assiniboine Park Main Gates UMFA members have been trying to meet with Premier Stefanson since she was sworn in, but haven’t been able to find her! We’re starting to worry about her now that it’s getting cold, so we’ve organized a SEARCH PARTY in her Tuxedo riding to try and get her to come out and meet with us. We invite you to join us TONIGHT from 5:30-6:30 PM for this family-friendly march from Assiniboine Park (Main gates at Corydon and Park Blvd N) into Tuxedo. We encourage you to wear weather-appropriate footwear and reflective clothing. We also encourage you to bring noise makers of all sorts: pots to bang, airhorns, noisemakers, drums, vuvuzelas, etc. We want to let her know we’re out there! Non-UMFA members are welcome. Everyone in attendance must be masked, and show proof of vaccination for anyone age 12 or older.

by Bev Godard

From: Pawanpuneet Rehal Sent: November 16, 2021 10:22 AM To: Bev Godard <Bev.Godard(a)umanitoba.ca> Cc: Plant Science Orders <psorders(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: Biobar Importance: High Hi Bev, This is a very serious issue. Could you please circulate this email to everybody. I found the -20 Biobar freezer unplugged this morning. Everything inside has been completely gone costing thousands dollars. I have no idea who did this but this is a serious issue. 4 degree bio bar fridge is working but I don't know who unplugged -20 freezer. I only get notification about the connectivity on my email (means the computer tab is connected with the freezer) but it will not signify that the freezer has been unplugged. .Please let everybody know everything is gone and do not order anything from -20 freezer bio bar. Attached are the picture I clicked this morning. Thank you Pawanpuneet Rehal Research Technician Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg R3T 2N2 Work Phone: 204-474-6409

Hello Dr Entz and Dr Lawley, We are closing in the 2021 MFGA Regenerative Agriculture Conference next week Nov 15-17 in Brandon and we have some excess capacity that we would love to fill some seats with students. We are offering half rate for students but if there was a group of 4 or a class of students that would like to attend in person we would be willing to work with you to make that happen. There is also online option for those that would like to tune in virtually. We have worked hard to fill the agenda with some fresh international speakers to give some new perspective to regenerative agriculture in Manitoba. Here is the link to the conference agenda and another to the registration page. Let me know if you think there is interest from the students or potential classes that would like to tune in. Hope all is well in Winnipeg!
