The Bulletin
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 25 Oct '13

25 Oct '13

[LH masthead.jpg] In 1936, University of Manitoba President and Vice-Chancellor Sidney Smith launched a new and exciting communications vehicle, The University Bulletin, to serve our university community. For the past 77 years, The Bulletin has provided a forum where we could share stories and information about the people, places and events that make our university such a vibrant and exciting place. Today, we say a fond farewell with a special commemorative edition that you can find at various locations on our campuses. I want to thank all of you for giving us so many good stories to tell over the years. The Bulletin has been the equivalent of our village square, the place that gave us our community connection and chronicled our events, success and progress. Thank you and congratulations to the editors, writers, photographers, as well as faculty and staff contributors who worked so hard over the decades to tell those stories. Our current staff will continue to provide that information in a different forum when we launch UM Today, a dynamic, interactive and mobile-friendly news website. You will hear more about this service to our community in the days ahead. We hope this special edition provides an opportunity to celebrate and honour this newspaper that has been witness to many changes to our community and has served us all so well. While the presses have stopped rolling, The Bulletin will always hold a special place for us in our memories. David David T.

Message from David T. Barnard
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

[LH masthead.jpg] On behalf of the entire University of Manitoba community, I want to congratulate the bargaining teams for their successful efforts to reach a negotiated settlement ensuring no work stoppage or disruption to our 29,000 students. The three-year agreement reached late last night resolves all major issues; remaining differences will be decided through an arbitration process. The agreement provides long-term stability and certainty that will allow us to focus on our core mission of learning, discovery and engagement. I recognize that these negotiations created uncertainty among students and I want to thank them for their patience as we worked our way through the process. I also appreciate the hard work and dedication of our faculty and staff and I am pleased we were able reach a fair settlement that demonstrates the flexibility of all parties and allows us to move forward in a spirit of mutual respect.

President Barnard's statement on negotiations with UMFA
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Oct '13

17 Oct '13

A message from David T. Barnard, President & Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba I am disappointed that the University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) leadership appears set on taking strike action next week. A strike will be harmful to our students and, indeed, the entire community. Let me assure you that we are doing everything we can to avoid a disruptive and unnecessary strike. The University of Manitoba has offered our faculty a four-year agreement with an 8.9 per cent salary increase. It is important that we compensate our faculty fairly and competitively. Our proposed four-year agreement would ensure long-term stability and certainty for our students. I want to be clear that we have not put forward anything in this bargaining process that would erode the academic freedom enjoyed by our faculty. We have not proposed a performance management system for UMFA members. Nor have we introduced any restrictions on research for UMFA members. We have suggested moving to binding arbitration to take the threat of a strike off the table. Arbitration would ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the academic year. This process would require UMFA and the University to present their cases to a third-party who would have the authority to mandate an agreement. In a show of good faith, the University of Manitoba expressed its willingness to use a person UMFA had recommended to act as an intermediary, to serve as an arbitrator. Unfortunately, UMFA leadership rejected this offer. Accepting this offer would have avoided a strike and enabled students to continue an uninterrupted academic year. We strongly encourage UMFA leadership to accept our offer to resolve this dispute through arbitration so as to avoid an unnecessary strike. Let's put our positions before an independent arbitrator, call off the strike and continue building an excellent university. Our students deserve nothing less. Students - who are at the heart of my concern today - can access updated information at www.umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo<http://www.umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo> and be assured that you will receive information the minute it becomes available. I also encourage the entire university community to review all of the information available including our rationale document that was provided to UMFA leaders in September. The document is located at www.umanitoba.ca<http://www.umanitoba.ca> under the bargaining updates icon. It is an accurate, detailed presentation of where the University of Manitoba stands on matters. The University of Manitoba remains committed to bargaining in good faith and will work diligently to prevent any disruption to students. I remain hopeful, even at this eleventh hour, that we can reach an agreement, or at least a process, that allows us to move forward without disrupting our students and the university community. Respectfully, David T. Barnard, Ph.D. President & Vice-Chancellor David T. Barnard, Ph.D., President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Office: +1-204-474-9345 FAX: +1-204-261-1318 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca [cid:image002.jpg@01CAEBD7.78870110] [cid:image002.png@01CECB69.69AFDA20]

Message to All Students

16 Oct '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CEC4DE.C0FA5C60] Dear Students, As you may have heard, a strike deadline has been set by UMFA for Tuesday, October 22. This means if an agreement between UMFA and the University cannot be reached by Monday, October 21, that a strike could begin on Tuesday. While we are disappointed that a strike date was set one day prior to the start of the conciliation process, we remain committed to seeking a settlement with UMFA through conciliation that will not disrupt your learning and success. Plan to attend your classes as usual, as we don't know yet what effect a strike will have on class schedules, mid-term exams or final papers. As soon as information becomes available, it will be posted on the website umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo (which will be live in the next 24 hours) and any major updates will be communicated to you by all-student email. You will likely have questions. Visit umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo for information on the negotiations, news, FAQs and contact information. Connect with us on our social media channels - facebook.com/umanitoba and twitter.com/umanitoba - as any updates to the website will be noted there as well. In the meantime, here is what you need to know: * Attend your classes as usual * The University remains open * Based on information at present, all student services, including Libraries, will be open during a strike * Check your email, umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo, and U of M social media for updates and information * A strike will not affect your academic record, work placements or co-op programs * Scholarships will not be affected * The University will answer all questions you may have as soon as possible We will update you again as soon as possible, hopefully with news that a settlement has been reached.

No strike date set—Classes as usual
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Oct '13

15 Oct '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CEC4DE.C0FA5C60] Message to All University of Manitoba Students You may have heard some confusing media reports this past weekend regarding the bargaining process with the University of Manitoba’s faculty association (UMFA). Please note that no strike deadline has been set by UMFA and all classes and other campus activities are proceeding normally and as planned. We understand that many of you are concerned about the impact a labour disruption may have on your studies. With the assistance of a conciliator, the University of Manitoba administration is working with UMFA to reach a settlement and to avoid a disruption to the academic term. We are committed to keeping you informed while respecting the conciliation process. We will communicate any further updates to you by email. - Susan M. Gottheil Vice-Provost (Students) Marcia Davies Assistant to the Vice-Provost (Students) 204 474 6917 Student Affairs creating opportunities for student success

Message to All UM Students from Susan Gottheil, Vice-Provost (Students)
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 09 Oct '13

09 Oct '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CEC4DE.C0FA5C60] Dear Students, Many of you are aware that the University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA), representing 1,250 faculty members, instructors, and librarians, has asked its members to vote on possible strike action. That vote took place October 7 - 9, and the results may be made known by UMFA on October 10. In this era of social media, we are hearing from many of you that you want to know more about what's happening and what it might mean to you, so we have decided to come forward now with what information we can share: * No strike deadline has been set * Classes continue as scheduled * The University has asked for a conciliator to help the parties reach an agreement * The University is doing all it can to avoid a strike * We will answer all questions students may have as soon as possible * Important information will be shared with you through all-students emails The University is doing its best to reach a settlement and avoid a strike. To that end, the University of Manitoba asked the Province this week to appoint a conciliator to help us negotiate a settlement. We are not content with the impasse that negotiations have reached; we want to keep the discussion going so that we can reach a settlement. We hope to be able to meet with UMFA and a conciliator this week or next. We remain hopeful that the conciliator will succeed in bringing the parties to an agreement. The University of Manitoba has made a competitive salary offer. The University of Manitoba values the tremendous contribution faculty make to this institution and recognizes the need to compensate them competitively if we are to attract and retain the best. We are offering UMFA a four-year agreement with salary increases of 2.9 per cent in the first year, and 2 per cent in each of the following three years. That is an 8.9 per cent increase over four years. There are additional financial improvements in the University's offer, as communicated on the University's website. The University of Manitoba has suggested a four-year agreement. UMFA is seeking a two-year agreement, with a 5.8 per cent increase over those two years. We believe a four-year agreement would offer the University community relative stability with respect to its academic function for at least four years. Further, if the length of the four-year contract is standing in the way of reaching a settlement, we have offered to reduce the term to three years, consistent with the duration of all recent UMFA contracts. There has not been a two-year contract for decades, and a short contract would perpetuate the uncertainty that students face over this bargaining process. The University of Manitoba did not propose that any rights presently enjoyed by faculty members be changed. We did not propose the addition of any new language or the removal of existing language around academic freedom. We believe the current language which has been in place for 40 years has served and continues to serve the community well, and reflects our strong commitment to academic freedom. The decision whether to strike or not to strike remains with UMFA. Although UMFA members have voted this week on whether to grant UMFA a strike mandate, UMFA has not made known to the University any strike deadline. That means that right now the academic year proceeds normally. There is no strike date set. We expect that we would receive fair notice from UMFA should a strike date be set. It is certainly not this week. At this point, we can say that - it warrants repeating - we are still working to avoid a strike, but in the event of a strike, we will do everything we can to minimize the impact of a strike on your academic success. We understand how troubling the uncertainty can be, but at this point it is very difficult to know what we would be facing. Past faculty strikes here and around the country have presented numerous scenarios, with varying start dates, durations, levels of support, and so on. We can also state that no Canadian University has ever cancelled a term because of a faculty strike, and that includes the 2011 Brandon University strike that lasted 47 days. We understand that as students you would like to know more, but we simply cannot provide a higher level of detail at this point because of our obligations to UMFA and the bargaining process. Rest assured, however, that, in the event of a strike, beyond continuing to work to reach an agreement, communicating with you will be our priority. We will answer your questions in a timely fashion. However, remember that it is difficult to foresee the circumstances presented by any individual strike, so please pay close attention to future communications from the University on this matter. We will update you again as soon as possible. I hope very much that the next update can be an announcement of a settlement, but if it is not, it will contain every possible detail we can share with you.

UMFA Bargaining Update (September 30, 2013)
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

[Paul Kochan header] September 30, 2013 To: All Employees and All Students The University of Manitoba began contract negotiations with the University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) in June, 2013. A new agreement has not yet been reached. The existing contract between the University of Manitoba and UMFA expired at the end of March, 2013. In 2010, the University and UMFA were able to reach a settlement in September without third party intervention. The University of Manitoba is committed to achieving a timely settlement. On August 16, 2013 we presented an offer to UMFA that included a generous salary position. We have offered UMFA members an 8.9 per cent salary increase over a four-year contract (2.9 per cent in Year 1, and 2 per cent in each of Years 2, 3 and 4) - this in a time of wage restraint across the broader public sector and within the post-secondary sector in particular. In addition to the 8.9 per cent increase, the University is proposing specific base salary adjustments for some ranks based on market comparisons, and structural revisions to the salary scales that result in higher maxima and increment values across all ranks. We want to attract and retain the best faculty and provide competitive salaries. We believe our monetary offer demonstrates our commitment to our faculty members, and to resolving this round of bargaining without a work stoppage. A salary calculator that allows UMFA members to calculate their salary over the next four years in accordance with the University of Manitoba's monetary offer is available at the Current Bargaining Update web page off the University of Manitoba homepage (umanitoba.ca). Simply find "Bargaining Update - Sep. 30/13" under "Updates", click and you will be taken to a page that includes the salary calculator. The direct url is: (http://umanitoba.ca/admin/human_resources/staff_relations/bargaining/academ…). The University of Manitoba has presented to UMFA its comprehensive position on all issues. UMFA has responded with only slight changes to its previous position, including holding to its proposal for a short-term agreement of one year or at most two years. UMFA has informed the University that it will be going to its members to call a strike vote. In these circumstances, the University felt it was important to share with its community the issues that stand in the way of an agreement. We did not propose that any rights presently enjoyed by faculty members be changed. We did not propose the addition of any new language or the removal of existing language around academic freedom. We believe the current language which has been in place for 40 years has served and continues to serve the community well, and reflects our strong commitment to academic freedom. We have not proposed the addition of an article on performance management. The only proposals we have made on these issues have been in response to UMFA demands. For example, we have proposed under the sections addressing tenure and promotion criteria that "no prescribed list of journals or other venues for publication, and no dollar amounts for research funding may be established or taken into consideration without consultation with faculty council." We have further added a clause under "Faculty Rights and Obligations" that explicitly states that faculty members have the right to comment on the University and on their Association. We have listened to and understand UMFA's position on recent University of Manitoba administrative initiatives such as Concur and print management, though we do not agree these matters belong in a collective agreement. We continue to believe that these new programs and processes are in the best interests of the University community and we will continue to consult with faculty and other members of the University of Manitoba community, listening and acting on their constructive input to make these initiatives a success. The savings generated by the innovations have helped put the University in a position to make the scale of offer it has for salaries. We are disappointed that UMFA has indicated our salary offer and our desire to keep the current language of the collective agreement with respect to academic freedom and other issues is not enough, and will seek a strike mandate from its membership. However, the University of Manitoba is committed to working to prevent any disruptions for our students, faculty and other staff and will continue to seek a settlement with UMFA through collegial and respectful negotiations. We are also committed to keeping all stakeholders informed as this process moves forward.

Registration Revision Period ends September 18
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

You are receiving this email because you are currently registered for Fall 2013 courses at the University of Manitoba. If you will not attend the U of M this term, you must withdraw from your courses before September 18th*. Graduate Studies students who are unable to continue studies this term must contact their department<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff> regarding a Leave of Absence. To all U of M students, The Fall Term 2013 Registration Revision Period ends September 18th, 2013.** The Registration Revision Period can be used to attend classes, test out your classroom experience and determine if you will remain registered in the courses you have selected or if changes should be made. During the Registration Revision Period, you may: * Add a new class if you changed your mind about your course subjects, or if a course that was previously full is now available * Drop a class and receive a tuition refund * Switch a lecture or lab to a more preferred day/time September 18th, 2013 is the last day to make changes to your Fall 2013 or Fall 2013/Winter 2014 registration. Fees resulting from changes to your registration are due September 18th. Fee Payment: * Students with outstanding fees after the September 4th fee payment deadline have already been assessed late fees. * A further $40 late fee will be applied to accounts outstanding after September 18th and students will be placed on Hold. Students on Hold will need faculty/school advising office assistance to withdraw from courses. * Students with outstanding fee balances may be subject to de-registration of courses that begin in Winter Term. Remember: * Students who do not withdraw from their fall term and fall/winter term spanned courses by September 18th will be required to pay the full tuition and fees for all courses in which they are registered even if they do not attend classes. * Once the Revision Period is over, students are no longer able to add new classes, or to switch the day/time for lectures and labs - you may still Voluntarily Withdraw from a class, but will not receive a tuition refund. * Be cautious of adding a new course too late in the Registration Revision Period - you may have missed a number of classes, and have assignments due right away. If you don't get space in a course within the first few days of the Revision period, late registration may not be a good idea.

June 27 Event Day Access and Parking
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

[cid:image001.jpg@01CE727D.006B3EF0] The home opener for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers takes place tomorrow evening at Investors Group Field. Many improvements, including dedicated bus lanes, have been made by the City of Winnipeg and the Winnipeg Football Club over the past week in an effort to keep traffic moving to and from Investors Group Field. Some congestion is still to be expected, however, and those travelling to the University of Manitoba to work, study or attend class, are asked to plan their route accordingly. Some things to remember are: 1. Parking restrictions begin at 6 p.m. but football fans are expected to arrive earlier. The Event Day Transportation and Parking Plan goes into effect 90 minutes before the opening ceremonies begin at 7:30 p.m. Winnipeg Football Club personnel will be out helping guide early incoming traffic to appropriate parking lots. 2. Vehicles with U of M parking permits can park in assigned lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. Those vehicles with U of M parking permits can begin parking in the assigned U of M lots beginning at 4:30 p.m. and must be vacated from all other lots by 6 p.m. The assigned lots for U of M permit parkers are: A Lot, B Lot, L Lot, AC Lot (southeast corner of Freedman Crescent), CTC Lot at the Crop Technology Centre 3. Vehicles without a valid parking pass must move off campus by 6 p.m. Parking permits are not required between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. in most university parking lots, however all vehicles without a U of M parking permit must be moved off campus by 6 p.m. 4. Kings Drive entrance is reserved after 6 p.m. for U of M students, faculty and staff. Students, faculty and staff with U of M parking permits are asked to enter and exit the campus via Kings Drive beginning at 6 p.m. Having a dedicated entrance is intended to cut down on wait times for members of the U of M community when accessing or exiting campus. We are encouraging accessing campus for parking as well as drop offs thru Kings Drive prior to 6 p.m. to avoid any early Event Day traffic. 5. Winnipeg Transit will be running as scheduled. Winnipeg Transit has increased its fleet to and from the University. Regularly scheduled buses will continue to stop on campus before, during and after the game. Winnipeg Transit will monitor and add buses to the regularly scheduled routes as required. 6. City of Winnipeg Traffic Services As early as 3:30 you will see City of Winnipeg Traffic Services setting up traffic flow changes for the event. Winnipeg Police Services will be assisting with traffic control beginning at 4:30 p.m. on University Crescent. We are working to ensure that students, staff and faculty who are scheduled to be on campus during an event can access and exit from campus in an efficient way. We ask for your patience, as well as your input, as we continue to improve the event day experience for members of our community. Further information, including answers to some frequently asked questions, can be found at: http://investorsgroupfield.ca/university/ The university's Parking Services website also has relevant information. You can find it here: http://umanitoba.ca/campus/parking/igf.html For event day reminders and updates please follow @UMoutstanding on Twitter. The next two event days are July 19 and July 26, both Friday evening football games that begin at 7 p.m. Thank you for your continued patience and support as we navigate this opening season at Investors Group Field. I encourage all of you to take in an event at the new stadium. 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.

[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.

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.

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
