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.
