Vehicles on the point
by Emily Wolverton 24 Apr '23

24 Apr '23

Good Afternoon, A reminder to please move any of the vehicles or trailers that are on the south side of the Point along the riverbank. We realize that we do not have a great location to move them too, but we need to remove the weight from the riverbank. The side of any Point road or location off of the riverbank will be satisfactory for now. Thank you, Rob Robert W. Duncan (he/him/his), Ph.D., P.Ag. Professor and Brassica Breeder Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 Phone: 204 474 6076 Email: rob.duncan(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:rob.duncan@umanitoba.ca> The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. I respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
