All,
This message is to inform you that there has been a change in the policy
for the department copy of graduate theses.
FGS no longer requires a hard copy of theses to be submitted. All theses
are submitted in electronic format and are made available on MSpace.
Soil Science Department Council has passed a motion: "The Department of
Soil Science will no longer require a bound hard copy of completed graduate
theses to be submitted to the department archive." This goes into effect
immediately.
Please note, that professors and/or graduate students can still make bound
hard copies of theses for their own use but that is a decision for each
individual.
The Department will create and maintain a list of all graduate students,
thesis titles and years and post it on the web.

Province Advises Burning Permits Cancelled in Western, Central, Eastern
Manitoba
Reeves/Mayors, Fire Chiefs, CAOs, and Municipal Emergency Coordinators,
The Province issues burning bans and restrictions to deal with areas of the
province that are under its jurisdiction: parks, Crown Lands, etc.
Municipalities
establish their own policies and issue burning bans to cover municipal
land. Municipalities have the ability to enact a burning ban through
council resolutions and should have a bylaw to enable this. Here are some
examples: http://www.firecomm.gov.mb.ca/support_bylaws.html
Also, from the Office of the Fire Commissioner (OFC):
[image:
http://files.ctctcdn.com/3ddc3f03301/7c607d31-4d5a-4fe2-b805-0c495f15bb06.g…
order to track fire protection efforts across the province, OFC asks that
all municipalities inform the OFC immediately at *firecomm(a)gov.mb.ca*
<firecomm(a)gov.mb.ca> when burn bans are put in place. We also ask that
changes to the status of the burning ban be reported. This enables
province-wide burning ban restrictions to be displayed so all Manitobans
and key stakeholders can track restrictions in all areas of the province.
For your awareness and for the information of the general public, the
following website displays burning ban information:

*Province Advises Burning Permits Cancelled in Western, Central, Eastern
Manitoba*
Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship advises current dry conditions
along with above average temperatures and increasing winds are pushing the
fire danger to high in some areas of the province.
New burning permits will not be issued for the central and eastern regions
of Manitoba, as well as areas in western Manitoba. Any permits that have
been issued are now cancelled.
This affects areas are from the United States border in the south, through
the Interlake to Gypsumville and Berens River in the north and east to the
Ontario border. In western Manitoba, this includes the Turtle Mountain and
Spruce Woods provincial park areas, as well as the west shore of Lake
Winnipegosis to the Saskatchewan border, including the Duck Mountains and
Porcupine Hills, and north to Overflowing River.
Officials noted people should always check with their local municipality
for any additional burning restrictions.
Campfires are allowed within enclosed, approved firepits.
The department requires a permit for any burning, including crop residue,
within burning permit areas between April 1 and Nov. 15 of each year.
Specific information regarding burning permit areas is available through
local Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship offices.
Many hunters, fishers and outdoor enthusiasts are actively enjoying the
outdoors, raising the danger of accidental, human-caused fires.
Travellers, hikers and hunters, and anyone in wooded and grassland areas,
are encouraged to be careful around any potential fire sources until
current conditions subside.
All-terrain vehicle riders are advised to stay on developed trails, stop
frequently to check areas around the engine and exhaust for debris, and
carefully dispose of any debris found. They are also asked to carry a
small shovel, axe and fire extinguisher on their vehicles at all times.
Fires can be reported to Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship by
calling 1-800-782-0076 (toll-free). Further information is available at
local department district offices or online at www.gov.mb.ca/wildfire.
