Statement from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba

21 Jun '13

[LH masthead.jpg] We are humbled and honoured by this announcement on National Aboriginal Day that the University of Manitoba will host the National Research Centre for Residential Schools. I want to thank the Truth and Reconciliation commissioners for showing confidence in us that we will be responsible keepers of the stories you have gathered and the conclusions you will make that will help us move forward from this dark period of Canadian history. We believe this national research centre will help our country advance on a path of reconciliation and healing. The University of Manitoba offers a strong commitment to Indigenous students, a powerful educational role in challenging settler attitudes to facilitate reconciliation and a central geographic location. The university has world-class research and archival expertise and formal partnership agreements with national Aboriginal organizations, academic institutions and other important organizations including: · University of British Columbia · Legacy of Hope Foundation · University of Winnipeg · Lakehead University · Red River College · University College of the North · Université de Saint-Boniface · National Association of Friendship Centres · Archives Manitoba · Canadian Museum for Human Rights I want to thank our remarkable committee of scholars and staff from across the university who developed an excellent proposal that enabled us to become the permanent home for this centre: co-chairs Dr. Laara Fitznor and Dr. Jean Friesen, Dr. Marlene Atleo, Dr. Greg Bak, Professor Karen Busby, Camille Callison, Helen Fallding, Dr. Rainey Gaywish, Dr. Kiera Ladner, Dr. Tom Nesmith, Dr. Janice Ristock, Kali Storm and Dr. Shelley Sweeney. I would also like to recognize the contributions of Dr. Gary Glavin, Greg Juliano and Deborah Young who have worked with the Commission to make today a reality, and I would like to acknowledge Elder Garry Robson and Elder Florence Paynter for the wisdom and guidance they have shared with our team. At the heart of the national research centre will be the statements of former residential school students. Their testimony, along with government, church and family records, will form a unique participatory archive managed through professional stewardship. Innovative digital technologies will allow survivors, scholars and others to use the records to tell many stories: the story of residential school survivors, of families, of communities, of schools, of regions and of the country. The collection of archives and testimonies truly belongs to survivors, their families and their communities. We will strive to ensure accessibility to all users but especially to survivors and their families, so they can learn about their history and the history of their communities. This National Research Centre will be made available to scholars from our university, our province, our country and around the world. Our goal is to ensure this centre is used by as many people as possible. We want teachers to share these stories with students and parents to share stories with their children. Since many of our most important and poignant lessons come from our children, I believe all of us can learn from the unique insight they will gain and share from accessing this National Research Centre. During Truth and Reconciliation Commission national and regional events, we have heard the heartbreaking accounts from survivors about the devastating impact that the Indian Residential School System had on their lives. We all have a responsibility to acknowledge that our national government devised a system that took children from their families and attempted to rob First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples of their languages, their cultures and their communities. This action resulted in the governments of Canada and Manitoba issuing statements of apology, as well as churches that operated schools, including Roman Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and United. In October 2011, the University of Manitoba was the first post-secondary education institution in Canada to offer its statement of apology and reconciliation. We failed to recognize or challenge the forced assimilation of Aboriginal peoples and the subsequent loss of their language, culture and traditions. We apologize and it remains our intention, having said the words of apology, to move to reconciliation. As part of our role in achieving reconciliation, the University of Manitoba is working with a variety of partners to make Manitoba the national centre for Indigenous education and research. Schools need to be places where First Nations, Metis and Inuit students are safe and feel accepted and welcome. For reconciliation to occur, it is our shared responsibility to make that happen. Together we can ensure Indigenous students are prepared for and can achieve educational success in the full range of academic programs we offer. It is my sincere hope that we can enable the final chapter of our national story, yet to be written, to be one that is inspiring, positive and full of hope - one where Indigenous peoples are full participants in all schools, universities, workplaces and public institutions.

[cid:image001.jpg@01CE6DC2.75DE77C0] This Saturday evening, Taylor Swift takes to the stage for the inaugural concert at Investors Group Field. The show begins at 6:30 p.m. with the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan going into effect at 5 p.m. While Taylor Swift fans may begin arriving on campus earlier in the afternoon, regular weekend parking rules will apply until 5 p.m. At that time, those with valid U of M parking permits are asked to move their vehicles to the following designated lots: * A Lot * B Lot * L Lot * AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent) * CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre * D Lot (June-August only) * R Lot (June-August only) U of M regular and casual parking permit holders who are coming or going from campus between 5 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. Saturday night are asked to use the dedicated entrance at Kings Drive. This entrance is for U of M regular and casual parking permit holders only and is intended to make accessing and leaving campus faster and easier for staff and students. Winnipeg Transit will also be adding extra buses to the following Regular Transit Routes beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22 to accommodate access to the University: * Route 60 Pembina * Route 75 Crosstown East * Route 78 Crosstown West * Route 161 "Extras" The next event at Investors Group Field is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers home opener on Thursday, June 27.

Casual Parking Passes for Students, Faculty and Staff on Event Days
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CE6C15.9111F7F0] I would like to thank each student, staff and faculty member for your patience during last week's Blue Bomber pre-season game and Sunday's Manitoba Marathon. Both events welcomed thousands of people from across the city, province and country to our campus, showing off our world-class facilities. The June 12 Bomber game at Investors Group Field saw the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan enacted for the first time. We learned a great deal after that event and are moving forward to ensure that event days are an enjoyable experience for those student, staff and faculty who are attending a class or exam, or teaching on campus. Over the last several weeks, I have heard from students, faculty and staff who expressed interest in an evening and weekend parking option for non-permit holders on event days. In an effort to make parking more accessible during the year's remaining events, Event Day casual parking passes will now be available for students, faculty and staff who are attending a class or exam, or teaching on campus during an event. These passes will cost $4 per spot, per event, and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. We will continue to evaluate the processes after each Event Day. Student Passes: Students who are registered for a class or exam that is scheduled when the Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan is in effect can purchase a casual parking pass at Parking Services, which is located in the Welcome Centre on University Crescent. Please remember that the Parking Services office is closed on weekends. Students who are registered for one of these classes or exams will receive an email a minimum of one week prior to each event day with further details about parking passes. Those with valid U of M parking passes will continue to have access to select university lots, also on a first-come, first-served basis. Staff and Faculty Passes: A request for an Event Day casual parking pass for $4 on the Southwood Lands can be made to eventparking(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:eventparking@umanitoba.ca>. Please include the event date, number of passes required, name of the signing authority of the department and FOAP in the email. Transit: The university has been in regular meetings with the Winnipeg Football Club and City of Winnipeg to make sure that traffic flow to and from events at Investors Group Field does not impede transit access to campus for students, faculty and staff. Kings Drive Entrance: A dedicated entrance and exit has been established at Kings Drive for U of M parkers, both Event Day casual parking pass and regular permit holders. A dedicated entrance ensures that U of M students and staff can bypass the lengthy lines that are anticipated at both the University Crescent and Chancellor Matheson entrances. For more information: * All students, staff and faculty will be receiving a reminder email on or prior to each Event Day via their U of M email account. * For up-to-date info and regular reminders on event day activities, please follow @UMoutstanding on Twitter. * The U of M map (http://umanitoba.ca/maps/) now has a handy stadium layer, which outlines U of M-only parking on event days. As a reminder, the remaining event days in June are June 22 (Taylor Swift) and June 27 (Winnipeg Blue Bombers Home Opener). Thank you for your continued patience as we navigate this first season at Investors Group Field.

17 Jun '13

Please see the attached poster and information about the UM and TRC Signing Ceremony on June 21 from Deborah Young. Dear Colleagues: In February, 2012, the University of Manitoba submitted a proposal to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to host the National Research Centre on Residential Schools. Our university submitted its proposal in keeping with its deep commitment to human rights research and promotion and to ensure oral and written material collected by the TRC is respectfully preserved, helps contribute to the healing of our society, and is accessible for use in teaching and research so the grave mistakes of the past are not repeated. I am pleased to tell you that the University of Manitoba has been selected by the Commission as the host site for the National Research Centre on Residential Schools and we would be honoured if you could join us at the Signing Ceremony that will confirm this partnership. The event, which we are co-hosting with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, is being held Friday, June 21, 2013. It begins with Sacred Pipe and Water Ceremonies at 8 a.m. at Migizii Agamik - Bald Eagle Lodge, Fort Garry Campus, followed by the Signing Ceremony at EITC Atrium at 10:30 a.m. The Signing Ceremony is also being live streamed via web cast. Please visit umanitoba.ca<http://umanitoba.ca/> or trc.ca<http://trc.ca/> at 10:30 a.m. CST to access the Signing Ceremony web cast link. This is an announcement of great significance for Canada and we want to share it with as many community members as possible. A full invitation is attached to this email. This event joins with communities' celebrations of National Aboriginal Day on June 21, and I sincerely hope you are able to make it. Sincerely, Deborah [cid:part1.06030300.08020200@umanitoba] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Val Parker Office of the President Indigenous Achievement, University of Manitoba, 140 Migizii Agamik; Bald Eagle Lodge 114 Sidney Smith Street, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2 T: (204) 474-8904 F: (204) 474-7805 E: val.parker(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:val.parker@umanitoba.ca> W: http://umanitoba.ca/indigenous

Campus Beautification Day Invitation
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 May '13

This is the 16th year of this popular event which is made successful by the tremendous input of Physical Plant staff and the campus-wide effort of volunteers. Staff, students, faculty and retirees are invited to participate on a voluntary basis to help beautify the campus. Jobs such as picking up paper, raking, sweeping, pulling weeds and planting flowers will be identified. Each department is requested to designate a contact person who will be responsible for coordinating the volunteers from their department.

Investors Group Field

This message is sent on behalf of Andrew Konowalchuk, Associate Vice-President (Administration) To: All Employees and All Students RE: Investors Group Field ________________________________ The final stage of construction is underway at Investors Group Field, ushering in a new and exciting era for athletics on our campus. Together, the completion of Investors Group Field and the university's Active Living Centre (2015) will make the U of M home to some of the best sports and recreation facilities in Canada. The result will be superior spaces for personal fitness, professional training, collegiate sports and campus cultural events. These new spaces will also bring visitors to campus, for Winnipeg Blue Bomber games and for other major concerts and events. In an effort to ensure that event days are a positive experience for all of us, we have worked with the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club to create an event day plan that ensures minimal disruptions for the members of our campus community. The plan, which includes information for regular parkers, casual parkers, transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians, can be found at investorsgroupfield.ca<http://www.investorsgroupfield.ca/> The site, which re-launches today, includes specific information for U of M staff, faculty and students. It outlines what changes will take place on event days and how those changes will affect you. To keep you apprised of event day parking and other transportation-related news, we will be sending out regular communications via your U of M email address and various social media channels. For those wanting to receive updates via Twitter, we recommend following @UMoutstanding, which will provide reminders on or before event days. An event day parking map will also be added to the U of M app, for easy viewing on your smartphone or tablet. The University of Manitoba Bison Men's Football team will also be playing four home games in the new stadium, including the Homecoming game on September 28. Be part of a new era of football by coming out to support our team. Having superior spaces like Investors Group Field serve the students, staff and faculty of our university, making for a more dynamic, innovative and community-focused campus.
