  • Impact Report
    IMPACT REPORT JANUARY 2019 LEGACY GALA DINNER They say there is no better way to learn than to try it, and that is exactly what our students receive as an Assiniboine Community College student. Our annual Foundation Gala dinner treats guests to an eight-course meal carefully prepared by our Culinary Arts students and a unique wine pairing specially chosen to compliment that course by our Hotel and Restaurant Management students. It truly is a one-of-a-kind evening held at our Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts building. The 2018 dinner raised approximately $43,000 thanks to our guests and sponsors. Money from the event, held last March, will support Indigenous students. We look forward to another culinary delight in March 2019. Our Foundation Board is directing proceeds from the upcoming dinner to the creation of scholarships and bursaries for students in the Early Childhood Education program. Helping a student attend college has a profound, lifelong impact and financial assistance allows students to concentrate on their studies. 2 DONOR PROFILE KOCH DONATES $200K OF STEEL TO ASSINIBOINE Welding students at Assiniboine Community College are benefiting from excellent learning opportunities provided by Koch Fertilizer Canada’s donation of nearly $200,000 worth of steel. “This donation helped students gain “I thought Jimmy (McGhie) could do good experience in welding a variety of different things with the material to aid in the stainless steel products not normally development of our next generation of welded in the school environment,” welders.

    13 TH ANNUAL FIELDS ON WHEELS CONFERENCE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL NOVEMBER 19, 2008 CONFERENCE SPONSORS: Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Presented by: Aikins, MacAulay & Thorvaldson LLP Transport Institute Viterra WESTAC 13th Annual Fields on Wheels Conference “Light at the End of the Tunnel” November 19, 2008 Hotel Fort Garry Winnipeg, MB ISBN: 978-1-894218-45-0 Edited by: Doug Duncan and Barry E. Prentice Cover created by Kathy Chmelnytzki Introduction The current regulatory reform of the Canadian grain handling and transportation system began in 1982 when the fixed Statutory Freight Rates (Crow Rate) was replaced by subsidies under the Western Grain Transportation Act (WGTA). At the same time, public investments were made to rehabilitate grain-dependent rail branch lines and over 15,000 covered hopper cars were purchased by the Government of Canada and made available free of charge. By the mid-1990s, the benefits of these changes had run their course, and World Trade Organization (1995) agreement provided a convenient reason for the federal government to eliminate WGTA subsidies. The Estey Review was initiated in 1996 to design a more commercially-oriented grain logistics system. The Estey Review and the Kroeger Process of implementation culminated in the Canadian Transportation Act (CTA) 2000. The CTA instituted a revenue cap on grain transportation for the railways, a mechanism for the transfer of branch lines to local communities, the Prairie Roads Program, a Grain Monitoring Program, the tendering of a portion of Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) grains and a final arbitration process. Not all measures were implemented as they had been envisioned in the Estey Review, but these changes set off a dramatic restructuring of the grain-dependent rail branchlines and a significant adjustment of country elevator size and number.
