Hello all,
Just a heads up that an email is being sent around coming from our dean and department heads. This email address is sending emails as Mark Hanson and Alfredo Comacho, and might be coming from others as well.
I've made IST (Abuse) aware of it, but if you do receive an email like below, you can also forward it to abuse@umanitoba.ca to let them know.

“The University of Manitoba campuses and research spaces are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
UM recognizes that the Treaties signed on these lands are a lifelong, enduring relationship, and we are dedicated to upholding their spirit and intent. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. With this understanding, we commit to supporting Indigenous excellence through active Reconciliation, meaningful change, and the creation of an environment where everyone can thrive. Our collaboration with Indigenous communities is grounded in respect and reciprocity and this guides how we move forward as an institution.”
