Thanks All for your time and input today.
Here are the notes and a summary of the discussion. These are a draft.
I think the next step will be to meet in about 2 weeks (I will schedule
this). At that meeting, I think each activity group should verbally step
us through their final work plan. I would ask that each group write down
exactly what they intend to do and have that summary at the meeting.
At the meeting we will also ensure there are assistants for Mitch and a
guide for each group. I believe there are 2 people coming with the
students, but we will need at least one more guide. We need to ensure we
have people assigned to each station for each week. We will also decide
exactly where to place each activity station and then have a "rotation
plan" for the students to follow.
In addition to the written summaries for the activities, Rob has suggested
that we video the Oct 8 practice run so that we have that as part of the
record of the activities for future years.
I think that you have come up with a fantastic set of ideas and I am very
excited about this module of the CanU Grow program.

Good morning Ms. Wiebe,
I am contacting you on behalf of the Canadian Water Resources Association’s
Student and Young Professionals (CWRA-SYP) Winnipeg chapter. We are a
student group that facilitates events that support the CWRA’s goal of
promoting effective water management. These events offer the opportunity
for students from a variety of faculties to gather and connect in their
common interest in Manitoba’s water resources.
We have organized a Meet & Greet event for students on September 23rd, and
I would be very grateful if you could copy the following message and the
attached poster to students in the Faculty of Agriculture in order to
invite them to this event. Thank you in advance for helping to promote the
CWRA-SYP!

Agricultural safety group to offer scholarships
The International Society for Agricultural Safety and Health (ISASH) is supporting the next generation of safety and health professionals by offering 10 scholarships in the amount of $500 each to attend its June 2016 conference in Lexington, Ky.
The announcement of scholarships by the U.S.-based society comes just ahead of National Farm Safety and Health Week, Sept. 20-26. #ISASH, #FSHW15, #farmsafety
"This year's National Farm Safety and Health Week theme, 'Ag Safety is not just a slogan: it's a lifestyle,' is best served by everyone working together to build a safer and healthier agricultural work place," said ISASH President Marcel Hacault, Canadian Agricultural Safety Association. "No matter their field of study, these students might find a career in ag safety."
ISASH membership includes students, engineers, educators, insurers, physicians, nurses, veterinarians, statisticians, communicators, anthropologists, business leaders and others. Many of them have extensive farm and ranch backgrounds.
Agriculture lags other North American industries in reducing the toll on its workers - it has a fatality rate eight times that of the all-industry average.
U.S. and international college student applicants will need to submit an abstract and have that abstract approved by the ISASH Research and Development Committee to be considered for the scholarships. Scholarship winners will also have conference registration fees waived. The call for abstracts is expected mid-October. The process to apply for scholarships will be posted here: http://isash.org/scholarship-opportunities/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__isash.org_scholarship-2…>
For more information on National Farm Safety and Health Week, visit the website of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety, http://www.necasag.org/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.necasag.org_&d=BQMF…>.

2015-2016 ISASH Board of Directors: Marcel Hacault, Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (president); Aaron Yoder, University of Nebraska (president-elect); Scott Heiberger, National Farm Medicine Center; Peter Lundqvist, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences; Debra McCallum, University of Alabama; Sandra Miller, Workplace Safety & Prevention Services; Michael Pate, Utah State University; Risto Rautiainen, University of Nebraska; Chris Shivers, Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation.
