Dear undergraduate and graduate students:
On Friday, September 27th, youth around the world will show their support of the international school
strike for climate movement by participating in demonstrations and calling for action on global warming and climate change. In Winnipeg, strike action and other activities have been planned between 12-5pm at the Manitoba Legislature by the
Manitoba Youth for Climate Action.
At the University of Manitoba we all care about this issue and the future of our planet. We are committed to environmental sustainability
and to minimizing our ecological impact.
UM students who would like to participate in the international strike for climate movement are encouraged to communicate directly with
their course instructors in advance to determine if alternative arrangements can be made. Please note that decisions regarding alternative arrangements are at the discretion of the course instructor, and that any missed work due to participation in the climate
strike is your responsibility.
