Sport and Recreation Fees
by Susan Carvell 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear Students, The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management (FKRM) has been actively working with UM's COVID-19 Recovery Working Group on a phased approach to re-opening sport and recreation facilities at both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses. As such, the Sport and Rec Fee will be applied to all UM students' tuition at a reduced rate for the Fall Term. The rate, 70 per cent of the standard Sport and Rec Fee, will be assessed at $62.92 for full-time students and $47.18 for part-time students. The partial assessment of the Sport and Rec Fee enables UM sport and recreation facilities and services to operate and safely support students through access to facilities and programming (on-site and online) that contribute to physical health, mental wellbeing and student success. At present, the Active Living Centre at the Fort Garry campus, including group fitness class offerings, are operational at reduced capacity with changes to processes to ensure government, health and UM regulations related to COVID-19 are met. * All users are being asked to complete a waiver, provided by email from Recreation Services, before they can access the facilities and make bookings. [*] Changes to booking procedures are highlighted on the Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> * Locker/change rooms on the main floor, adjacent to the Active Living Centre, are open for day-use, however, showers are not available. * Single-stall gender-inclusive washrooms, located on every floor of the Active Living Centre, are open and available for use. While the Frank Kennedy Centre, including gyms, studios, courts, the community change room, and the Joyce Fromson Pool remain closed, feasibility to re-open those areas in alignment with health regulations will continue to be evaluated. An announcement about the re-opening of the Joe Doupe Recreation Centre at the Bannatyne campus is forthcoming. Please visit the Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> for more information about changes and updates. Statement of inclusion: At the University of Manitoba, we are committed to equity of access and opportunity for all members, UM students, faculty and staff. We welcome you to a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone-from all backgrounds and perspectives-is respected, valued, and can enjoy an exceptional experience.

ALC to re-open Monday, July 27
by Rec Services 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

The Active Living Centre is re-opening Monday, July 27. The opening of the Active Living Centre is an important step in the process to recovery and re-opening at UM as its function supports our commitment to active living and the wellness of our entire community. Ordinarily UM students pay the Sport and Rec Fee<http://umanitoba.ca/registrar/tuition-fees> as a part of tuition costs to access Sport and Recreation Facilities<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/sport-and-recreation-facilit…>. This fee was not applied for Summer Term. As the Active Living Centre closed its doors on March 13, a month before the end of Winter Term, UM students who were enrolled in Winter Term 2020 will be able to re-activate their student membership to use the Active Living Centre for the remainder of the summer, honouring the fee they had paid for Winter Term. Students should watch for a follow up email from Recreation Services in the coming week with details on how to re-activate their student membership. To ensure the health and safety of everyone and in order to meet, and exceed government regulations, important changes to operations have been made: * Hours of operation will be Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. * To ensure physical distancing, there will be a 100-member capacity in the facility at any one time. This represents approximately 25 per cent of the Active Living Centre’s capacity. * Members will book 90-minute workout blocks to guarantee a workout time. Booking details to come. * Thorough facility cleaning and sanitization will occur in-between blocks. Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance, at the exit and throughout the facility. Participants will be asked to apply hand sanitizer immediately after entry and upon leaving the facilities. * Water fountains will be turned off (please bring your own water or sports drinks). * Group fitness classes will also be offered, but on a reduced basis. Before entering the facility, staff and participants must use the self-screening tool<https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/>. Entry will not be allowed entry if anyone presents with COVID-19 symptoms. The Recreation Services website<http://umanitoba.ca/community/sport-recreation/recreation-services/membersh…> outlines the details of the re-opening and everything you will need to know before returning, in addition to information about membership and changes to services. Some of those changes include: * Suspension of towel service * The Joyce Fromson Pool, showers and sauna will remain closed * The gymnasiums and courts will remain closed * Due to COVID-19 procedures at the Bannatyne campus, Joe Doupe Recreation Centre will not be re-opening at this time. The UM Recreation Services team is excited to be able to open the doors and begin moving forward in supporting the fitness goals of the UM community and membership. “We thank you for your patience as we continue to work toward a strategic and safe re-opening,” said Tanya Angus, Director, Recreation Services. “We look forward to welcoming you back.” Follow Recreation Services on social media (Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/UofMRecreationServices>, Instagram<https://www.instagram.com/uofmrecservices/>) for more news and updates. Sincerely, Recreation Services

by Marcia Davies 09 Jul '20

09 Jul '20

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Good afternoon Students. In March, we made the difficult decision to close the campus as part of the community effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. This decision was made within a tight timeframe, and many of you were unable to retrieve personal belongings from your locker. To support you in collecting any needed personal items, the Fort Garry campus will be hosting a locker clean-out week from Monday, July 20th until Friday, July 24th from 9:00am until 4:00pm. As noted below, each day of the week a specific zone of the campus will be opened to allow students within that zone to retrieve their belongings and clean out their lockers. No registration is required. All students participating in this clean-out exercise must adhere to the following safety precautions: q While not mandatory, you are encouraged to wear a mask while visiting campus. q If you have returned from international or domestic travel in the last 14 days or have cold or flu-like symptoms (cough, fever, runny nose, sore throat, headache, etc.) you are not permitted to participate. q A designated free parking lot and check-in station for each zone has been established and must be used while visiting. Consult the table below to identify your zone, parking lot, and check-in station. q All other entrances to buildings will be locked and inaccessible and all other parking lots will operate under normal ticketing rules. q While outside and inside, you must make every effort to ensure a 2 metre distance between you and others. Thank you in advance for your support. All my best. …Laurie Laurie M.

by University of Manitoba 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

The following message is sent on behalf of Chancellor Anne Mahon and Jeff Lieberman, Chair, Presidential Search Committee and Chair, UM Board of Governors Welcoming Dr. Michael Benarroch, UM’s 12th President & Vice-Chancellor<https://news.umanitoba.ca/welcoming-dr-michael-benarroch-ums-12th-president…> Dr. Benarroch took office on July 1, 2020 We are pleased to welcome Dr. Michael Benarroch back home to Manitoba to lead the University of Manitoba as our 12th President and Vice-Chancellor. Throughout the presidential search, we were compelled by Dr. Benarroch’s deep commitment to the values expressed in UM’s mission and vision and by his capacity to develop and articulate a shared institutional purpose and strategy. We are confident that he will advance the university’s reputation for driving discovery and inspiring minds through innovative teaching and research. He is also a highly regarded community leader who will continue to strengthen partnerships and ensure UM remains guided and informed by Indigenous knowledge and perspectives. He is keen to continue to build and foster a culture of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and to address matters of racism, discrimination and sexual violence proactively and directly. Dr. Benarroch brings to this role his inspiring energy and passion for the life-changing possibilities of higher education and his dedication to the province and the UM community. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work and meet with him know Dr. Benarroch to be a warm, collegial and dedicated leader who cares deeply about the success of this university, this province and its people. We look forward to his return, in this new capacity, to the University of Manitoba community. Born in Tangier, Morocco, Dr. Benarroch immigrated to Canada with his family when he was three years old and considers Winnipeg his home. Along with his three brothers, he was the first in his family to attend university and holds a BA (Hons) from the University of Winnipeg, a MA in economics from Western University, and a PhD in economics from Carleton University. >From 2013 to 2017, he led the I. H. Asper School of Business as dean<https://news.umanitoba.ca/michael-benarroch-stepping-down-as-dean-of-the-i-…> where he enhanced its overall reputation and community partnerships. Working with Indigenous faculty, students and community members, he helped strengthen what is now the Indigenous Business Education Program so that it has recently enjoyed unparalleled success, graduating more and more diverse students than ever before. Dr. Benarroch returns to Manitoba from Ryerson University, where he served with distinction as provost and vice-president, academic. An internationally-recognized economist, Dr. Benarroch has most recently been sought after for his views on how to manage the recession<https://news.umanitoba.ca/life-in-a-post-covid-19-world/> resulting from COVID-19. He has a special interest in the global economic outlook, the impact of trade on the environment and government economic policy. We know that all members of the university community join us in welcoming him home, and look forward to working with him in the years to come as we advance the university’s mission to the benefit of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends.

Re: [UofM notice] Reminder: Invitation to complete a survey on travel and COVID-19
by Michelle Driedger 27 May '20

27 May '20

FINAL REMINDER Students, tell us about your thoughts on travel and COVID-19! Two weeks ago you were invited to participate in a survey on this important topic. If you have not already done so, we would really appreciate if you could complete the survey. The original invitation with details are found below. The survey closes Monday June 1! [The winner of the draw prize can expect to be contacted by June 12, the latest.] If you have already completed the survey, thank you so much for doing this! Please access the survey HERE: https://questionnaire.simplesurvey.com/f/s.aspx?s=1bcabbff-4749-4d70-97d6-b… Michelle Driedger Professor Community Health Sciences Rady Faculty of Health Sciences The containment of an emerging virus, such as the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (causing the COVID-19 disease), is dependent on controlling transmission of the disease between countries. Travelers are a primary factor in the spread of infectious diseases across borders and have been instrumental in spreading COVID-19 around the world. To try and control the spread of the disease, it is important to better understand people's travel health knowledge and practices. This will help government agencies better contain this disease outbreak and control the spread of other infectious diseases in the future. UM students (both domestic and international) can play a major role in helping us better understand travel health for people currently enrolled in university. We are therefore inviting you to participate in a survey on your travel knowledge, activities and practices. The survey also includes specific questions on your knowledge and practices for COVID-19, and on university communications on COVID-19. This will help universities improve their communications for both this and future outbreaks. The survey may be accessed at the link provided below. It should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. You can do this survey in one sitting, or provided that you do not close your browser window, can return to complete your responses later. This research is being done in partnership Dr. Cindy Jardine and her study team at the University of the Fraser Valley. All anonymized survey data analysis will be conducted off-site. To see more details about what you consenting to, including information on privacy, long-term data management and data security, please see the attached Consent Disclosure Statement. To thank you for your participation, at the end of the survey, you will be invited to enter your name into a draw for a MacBook Air (value of approximately $1,500). Your contact information for the draw will not be used to link to your survey answers in any way. Your chance of winning depends on the number of survey participants. The draw will occur within one week of the survey closing. We are also seeking participants for the second part of our study. We would like to invite you to be part of a focus group to get more detailed information and context for the survey responses. If you are selected for a focus group you will receive a gift of $50 for your time (either cash or an electronic gift card depending on physical distancing measures in place at the time of the focus group). The focus groups will take about one and a half hours. At the end of the survey, you will be asked to provide your name and contact information (telephone and/or email) ONLY IF you would like to enter your name into the draw and/or to be considered for a follow-up focus group. We will share results from this research in a summary report available on the University of Manitoba website.
