With the newest flood forecast of a major flood, we should prepare to move all materials and machinery from the south side of the processing and seed storage  building. To ensure adequate room and to safeguard expensive equipment, we should move the new plot combine from the drying room to Carman. This will allow for us to move other equipment and seed into the area vacated by the plot combine. While this is not adequate for all that we have, we will need to move some equipment and materials to other areas as well. I will be enquiring as to potential areas for us to store equipment and materials.

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.
