From: Claudio Stasolla Sent: May 28, 2021 1:56 PM To: Bev Godard <Bev.Godard(a)umanitoba.ca> Subject: CARMAN RESEARCH STATION-EXTENDED CLOSURE All, in regard to the message sent by the Dean. Please note that only EMERGENCY work is allowed to preserve existing material in the field. Also please remind your field personnel involved in this work to maintain a detailed journal of activities. The journal should be shared daily with the respective supervisor. Also it is imperative that personnel who has been to the farm since May 10 stay home and does not come to Campus (main building or the Point). If we do not follow this simple directions, we risk to have the main buildings and the Point shut down as well. PIs, please reinforce this. Thanks Claudio

FW from Dean Scanlon: UPDATE Re Carman Research Farm - CLOSURE EXTENDED
by Bev Godard 28 May '21

28 May '21

From: Dean Agriculture Sent: May 28, 2021 1:43 PM Subject: UPDATE Re Carman Research Farm - CLOSURE EXTENDED Investigations of positive COVID-19 cases of individuals who have attended the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm in Carman continue. Public Health leads all investigations into positive cases and identifies close contacts. As this work is not yet complete, we still do not have a full understanding of the extent of risk posed. I am therefore extending the closure of the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm at Carman until at least Thursday June 3. Anyone (faculty, staff or student) who has been at the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm at Carman since May 10 must work remotely from home until Thursday June 3 and monitor assiduously for symptoms of COVID-19 (https://www.gov.mb.ca/asset_library/en/coronavirus/covid19_screening_checkl…). It is important that any potential for spread of the virus is not merely shifted to a Fort Garry lab or to the Point. Therefore, stay home and self-monitor. Although the restrictions with respect to the Carman Research Farm still stand, some low-risk EMERGENCY field work may continue. The emphasis is on EMERGENCY work to preserve field work samples so that research can continue later. Work is only permitted under the following conditions: 1) Only emergency FIELD work is permitted (eg scouting for infestation, spraying, etc) 2) Work can only be performed by University technical or academic staff (i.e., no summer students, graduate students, postdocs or research associates) 3) All staff performing the emergency work continue to assiduously monitor for symptoms 4) Wellness declaration is completed every morning prior to travel 5) All PHYSICAL distancing (stay 2m apart) and PPE protocols (wear 3-ply masks, sanitizing surfaces) are rigorously adhered to (no peer to peer interactions in the field) 6) Only one person per vehicle 7) Vehicle has all necessary supplies for the day's work and breaks 8) Vehicle is fully gassed up in Winnipeg 9) Daily journal of activities is maintained by personnel doing field work (as per approvals associated with permission for opening up for research last year) Mr Justice Zhanda will be present at the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm, but the building will NOT be open. If you have any questions on this please do not hesitate to contact me.

Carman Station Covid Reminders
by James De Castro 26 May '21

26 May '21

Hi all, PSGSA believes it is important to reiterate the department’s expectations from us students regarding the recent Covid situation out in the Carman research station. The following items might have been circulated in your respective labs already but if not, please pay attention: * the Carman station is closed until Monday (May 31)<outlook-data-detector://1> but starting tomorrow (May 27) at 7:30 am, Emergency field work is permitted - but only for technical staff (no summer students/graduate students/postdocs/research associates) * examples of "Emergency work" include scouting for infestation, spraying, etc.) * Staff performing emergency work are expected to follow the same precautions already in place: 2m distancing, proper PPE (3-ply masks), surface sanitation, and symptom monitoring. There cannot be any interaction with peers. * Only 1 person per vehicle is allowed, whether it’s personal or the department’s. Ensure that vehicles are appropriately fueled in Winnipeg prior to the trip. The main takeaway for students is that we are not allowed to be at the station until Monday, so be sure to communicate with your technicians if your plots do require emergency attention. We thank everyone for cooperating. PSGSA will continue to report new information as it arises. Stay safe! PSGSA Team

I have been made aware of a second positive COVID-19 case of a second individual who has attended the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm in Carman in the past week. Public Health leads all investigations into positive cases and identifies close contacts. As this work isn't complete, we do not currently have a full understanding of the number of individuals who may be considered close contacts and must isolate. I am therefore making the decision that as of Tuesday May 25, 23:59, the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm at Carman will be closed until at least Sunday May 30. I recognize that this will cause real hardship to researchers and to graduate students at a critical time in the agricultural research cycle, and so I do not make this decision easily. However, the health and wellbeing of staff and students must be prioritized. Anyone (faculty, staff or student) who has been at the Ian M. Morrison Research Farm at Carman since May 10 must work remotely from home until Monday May 31 and monitor assiduously for symptoms of COVID-19 (https://www.gov.mb.ca/asset_library/en/coronavirus/covid19_screening_checkl…). It is important that any potential for spread of the virus is not merely shifted to a Fort Garry lab or to the Point. Therefore, stay home and self-monitor. I thank you for your understanding on this matter. Martin Martin Scanlon, C&G, PhD Dean, Faculty of Agricultural & Food Sciences University of Manitoba Ph: 204 474-9380

FW: New Window project placement schedule
by Bev Godard 14 May '21

14 May '21

A reminder of the Window project placement schedule and the room prep that needs to happen prior to the new window install date. Also, for those approved to work evenings/weekends, it is acceptable to be in the building during the evening/weekend hours as long as you do not enter the room where window work/asbestos abatement is occurring. The area outside of the construction fence in the West side courtyard/greenspace can be used by the buildings occupants. DO NOT enter the inside of the fenced area of the construction site! Thank you, From: Bev Godard Sent: April 27, 2021 8:51 AM To: plants-all(a)lists.umanitoba.ca Subject: New Window project placement schedule Importance: High Good morning, Attached is the new window project placement schedule. Please review and let me know of any issues by Friday April 30th. Also, attached is the room prep example. General overview of the schedule is: * Mobilize May 10 * Rm 113 window mock-up week of May 17 * Mock-up window testing tentatively May 26 * Tackle all of the west elevation first and then move to east elevation * Rm 210 work and window - week of August 23 (2 weeks) * Completion October 6 Reminder that all items within the 4 to 5 foot area in front of the exterior window wall in each room should be removed prior to the room's date identified in the schedule. For example all items within the area of the window in room 113 will need to be moved prior to May 17th.
