UofM Latest COVID-19 updates - masks still required on Campus indoors/outdoors
by Bev Godard 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

UPDATED AUGUST 4, 2021Latest COVID-19 updates · On August 3, the province announced<https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?item=51998&posted=2021-08-03> changes to the public health orders that focus on public health recommendations and guidance, rather than restrictions, as the province prepares for a shift from pandemic to endemic COVID-19. As of Aug. 7, many provincial restrictions will be lifted, and orders will only restrict the most high-risk transmission environments. This includes lifting most vaccination and masking requirements, as well as lifting the recommendation to maintain remote work where possible. The health and safety of our campus community is our top priority, and University of Manitoba remains committed to our plans for a phased, measured return to in-person activity<https://news.umanitoba.ca/update-on-fall-term-at-um-from-president-benarroc…>. UM community members should continue to follow UM’s current masking and social distancing protocols when on campus. As a reminder, the wearing of 3-ply reusable or disposable masks is mandatory for all activities on all UM campuses. This applies when indoors at all times on UM campuses even when physical distancing is possible. A 3-ply mask is also required when outdoors on UM campuses or while participating in UM-sanctioned activities off-campus at any time when two metres distancing is not possible.

Strategic Planning Committees
by James De Castro 26 Jul '21

26 Jul '21

Hi all, This e-mail is just a reminder of that the Plant Science Department is still looking for 2 volunteers to represent grad students in 2 committees related to the department’s strategic planning. Details on the committees are as follows: Social Committee: Tasked with engaging academics, staff and students to interact on an informal level. A minimum of 2 events (online or in-person, if possible) per year. Active starting on Sept 2021 * Academic: Dr. Dilantha Fernando (3 yr term) * Support staff: Eppie Austria (2 yr term) * RA/PDF: TBA (2 yr term) * Student: TBA (1 yr term) Communications/Promotions Committee: Tasked with outreach exposure. The team will collaborate with Crystal Jorgenson in updating the website and create a newsletter to showcase the department’s activities for an external audience (I.e. growers, industry, government). People with strong website design skills are needed. * Academic: Dr. Brian Fristensky (3 yr term) * Support staff: Kaitlyn Pidherny (2 yr term) * RA/PDF: TBA (2 yr term) * Student: TBA (1 yr term) A third committee, the Events Committee, is tasked with the organization of tours at the Morrison Research Farm and Lab Open Houses and organize at least 2 activities per year to engage growers, industry, government and public. Similarly, this group will be composed of 4 members: * 2 academics (Dr. Claudio Stasolla for lab and Dr. Curt McCartney for field), * 2 support staff (Stephanie Dheily for field, TBA for lab), * but no student representation is required PSGSA has announced recently that due to the lack of initiative, these 2 student rep positions might instead be added onto the next PSGSA election. But given the new details to these committees (especially the confirmation of only a 1 year commitment from student reps), there might be newfound interest and perhaps earlier involvement. For further questions (or wish to volunteer!) e-mail decastr4(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:decastr4@myumanitoba.ca> or, they can also be addressed later today at virtual coffee with Dr. Stasolla! (meeting link should be on your MS Teams calendar) Thank you, PSGSA Team
