From: Murray Van Zeggelaar <MVanZeggelaar(a)nachurs-alpine.com<mailto:MVanZeggelaar@nachurs-alpine.com>> Sent: Thursday, February 2, 2023 11:59 AM Subject: Food Innovation award Caution: This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba. Dear Sean, I wasn't sure who to get in contact with at the University of Manitoba, but I thought I would start with you. Last year, our US parent company, Wilbur-Ellis, established an innovation award to get university students to think about new ways to help feed the world. This award was only available to US students last year, however this year they have opened it up to Canadian students as well. Can you have the attached poster put up at the UM campus, or can you steer me to the person that can do this for me?
