30 Nov '23

Good afternoon, Preparing for the upcoming Christmas break we would like to send a reminder that all orders should be requested to us before Friday, December 15. This way we can avoid packages coming in while no one is on campus to receive them. We are also including comments on each order informing the supplier about the dates in which the University will be closed. Orders with ETA during these days will be placed in January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and have a nice day Mariana Garcia Romero University of Manitoba Department of Plant Science Rm 222, Agriculture Building 66 Dafoe Road Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2  phone 204.474.8225 |  fax 204.474.7528  e-mail mariana.garciaromero(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:mariana.garciaromero@umanitoba.ca>
