Fire Alarm, April 28
by Dean Environment 28 Apr '26

28 Apr '26

Hi everyone, Thank you for the swift response and for exiting the building this afternoon. At this time, the assessment indicates that the odour is likely related to a dried-out drain trap within the building. Please ensure that staff in all units take time tomorrow to run taps and pour water into all sink and floor drains throughout the building. This includes floor drains located under emergency showers and in all bathrooms. All the best, Mark

Lavender Graduation 2026 - An Invitation to Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources 2SLGBTQIA+ Grads
by Dean Environment 23 Apr '26

23 Apr '26

The below message is sent on behalf of Mikayla Hunter, Founding President, Queer & Trans Graduate Student Group, PhD Candidate, Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba Good morning, Lavender Graduation<https://lavendergraduationlegacyproject.org/about-us/> is an annual ceremony conducted on numerous campuses to honor queer and trans students to acknowledge their achievements and contributions as they graduate their degrees. The Lavender Graduation Ceremony was created by Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a lesbian who was denied the opportunity to attend the graduations of her children because of her sexual orientation. In response, she organized the first Lavender Graduation ceremony at the University of Michigan in 1995. Since 1995, Lavender Graduation ceremonies have happened across North America, most predominantly in the United States. In 2018, McGill University made history when it became the first post-secondary institution outside of the United States to host a Lavender Graduation. Since 2024, the Queer & Trans Graduate Student Group has hosted a Lavender Graduation ceremony at the University of Manitoba. At this ceremony, grads from all post-secondary institutions in Manitoba who are 2SLGBTQIA+ are welcome to attend and be celebrated for their accomplishments. Students who have graduated in the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 or will be graduating in Summer 2026/Fall 2026 are welcome to be a graduate this ceremony. This ceremony is symbolic in nature and no parchments are conferred. I would greatly appreciate if you could share this information with students in your faculty. Grads can register using the QR code in the attached image of via this link: https://forms.gle/qNwm8KKxyDGrKn89A We also invite faculty and staff to attend the ceremony to join in celebrating these students. Faculty and staff members who would like to attend are asked to e-mail me so I can add them to the count so that we can order the appropriate amount of food. Thank you!
