Hi Bev,
Can you circulate the following email? Following Alina's out of office, I sent this to plant_science@umanitoba.camailto:plant_science@umanitoba.ca but I see you have been sending emails to the department this morning.
Thanks for your help, Yvone -- Dr. Yvonne Lawley Associate Professor of Agronomy and Cropping Systems Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba

As spring approaches, the Department is preparing for the expected closure of the Point processing and seed storage building due to the instability of the adjacent riverbank. Based on 2023, it is expected that we will have access to the seed storage and processing building for 15-minute intervals from April 1 to mid-July.
A group of 8 technicians met with Yvonne Lawley and Curt McCartney to walk through the seed storage, processing room, grinding room, and drying area on February 21st for an hour. We identified action items that must take place for the Department to be better prepared for the expected closure of the processing and seed storage building on March 31st, 2024.
The attached document should be reviewed by technicians and professors from each program that works out of the Point in early March. Feedback and questions should be directed to Yvonne Lawley and Curt McCartney. This plan will also be reviewed during the Departmental technician meeting on March 7th and at Department Council on March 6th. At these meetings, we will be asking for volunteers to assist with final preparations at the Point during the week of March 25th.
