Dear Colleagues,

 

I am writing on behalf of my colleague, Robert Beattie, who has initiated a letter campaign advocating for increased research funding in Manitoba. As an organization, MNN fully endorses this initiative and encourages all members to add their support by signing the letter through the form linked below.

 

Best regards,

Tabrez Siddiqui

 

 

Hello Everyone,

 

I hope you’re all enjoying a restful weekend. I’m writing to bring an important initiative to your attention.

 

Several colleagues and I have drafted a letter to the province requesting the restoration of funding to Research Manitoba. This follows Premier Kinew’s announcement on Friday regarding efforts to recruit American researchers. While it’s encouraging to see recruitment prioritized, the absence of a corresponding budget increase is concerning.

 

We began collecting signatures this morning and would greatly appreciate your support.  We would also welcome any feedback you may have on the letter, and please feel free to share it with others who may be interested.

 

You can view and sign the letter here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12XfLtlcIaKalvX0Bcm6Cv9GuGM5DcfscRviKEPJEoLk/edit?usp=sharing


Thanks so much for your consideration and have a wonderful Sunday!

 

Warm regards,

Robert

Hello,

 

I would like to take this time to thank you for participating in the Manitoba Schools Science Symposium (MSSS) in previous years. The event is always a great success, thanks to your generous support.

 

We are excited to share that MSSS will be in-person this year, back at our old location at the

Special Awards judging will be taking place on Saturday, April 12th from 9 AM - 12 PM. You are welcome to come preview projects Friday evening, more information to follow. 

 

More details regarding the specific judging for Special Awards will follow in the coming weeks, but as of right now, your organization will need to provide a judge. While we do prefer judges to come in person, please let me know if there are any extenuating circumstances, and we can try to make arrangements.
