January 17, 2020 Honourable Scott Fielding Minister of Finance Room
LEADERSHIP, ADVOCACY AND SERVICE FOR MANITOBA’S PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARDS January 17, 2020 Honourable Scott Fielding Minister of Finance Room 103, 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Fielding: As the Government of Manitoba moves forward with the planning of its 2020 Budget, the Manitoba School Boards Association and its membership would like to thank the Minister and his colleagues for their ongoing support of public education in Manitoba. We are grateful that provincial per pupil funding remains competitive when compared with both the national average and that of neighbouring Canadian jurisdictions. We also recognize the significant ongoing investment made by the Government in the future of our students and communities, through operating funding, new school construction and continued capital infrastructure renewal. Over the past year, your investment of pilot funding for mental health support in communities with demonstrated need, your plan for expanded access to diagnostic services for pre-school children, and the creation of an important new innovation fund to support creative, frontline solutions to improve the delivery of public education, have each been welcome developments. By building upon such initiatives into the future, we can together respond to the most urgent and critical requirements of our communities and their schools. The Government’s plans to build and/or complete construction of twenty new schools province-wide over the next decade will certainly support community growth, while also making a difference when it comes to the mounting capital deficit that will be faced by public education in Manitoba over the next eighty years. Given the age of school infrastructure at present, that most school buildings will celebrate their centennial in this timeframe, deserves our utmost focus.

February 28Th, 2021 the Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
February 28th, 2021 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister, In January, 2021, I wrote to you encouraging the Province of Manitoba to ensure the full participation of the Manitoba Metis Federation in Manitoba’s vaccine planning and distribution. I was hopeful, after conversations with Ministers Stefanson and Clarke, that progress was being made. While I understand that some meetings have taken place, it is unfortunate that significant issues appear to remain with regards to the vaccine distribution process in Manitoba – notably the issue of equal access for all Indigenous populations. I read with great concern the CBC Manitoba article of February 24th, 2021 that outlined that Métis and Inuit citizens will not be prioritized to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) states that “adults living in Indigenous communities, which include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, where infection can have disproportionate consequences such as those living in remote or isolated areas where access to health care may be limited, should be prioritized to receive initial doses of COVID-19 vaccines.” It is well established that Indigenous peoples disproportionately face poorer health outcomes, which includes Métis and Inuit, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19, which is why NACI made this recommendation. The rapid rise in cases in First Nations communities has already shown the need to prioritize vaccinations and we can see that working as the number of new cases continue to decline. This underscores the importance of tracking and sharing data for all Indigenous populations.

June 4, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC FILING AND E-MAIL ([email protected]) Canadian Energy Regulator 517 Tenth Avenue SW Suite 210 Calgary, AB T2R 0A8 Attention: Louise George, Secretary to the Commission Re: Manitoba Minnesota Transmission Project Certificate EC-059, Condition 3 Manitoba Metis Federation Response to CER Correspondence of May 21, 2020 We are legal counsel to the Manitoba Metis Federation Inc. (the “MMF”) in the above-referenced proceeding. We write in response to your letter of May 21, 2020,1 inviting the MMF to file any amendments or updates to its previously filed submissions regarding Manitoba Hydro’s (“Hydro”) failure to comply with conditions 3 and 15 (the “Conditions”) of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity EC-059 (the “Certificate”), in light of the Manitoba Court of Queen’s Bench decision in Manitoba Metis Federation v. Brian Pallister, 2020 MBQB 49 (the “Judicial Review Decision”). The MMF maintains its previous submissions to the Commission, which it provided on July 23, August 16, and October 23, 2019.2 The MMF also relies on its Notice of Application (the “Application”), as filed, seeking specific relief from the Commission as a result of Hydro’s failure to comply with the Conditions. The issues before the Commission are: (1) whether the promises made in the Major Agreed Points reached between the MMF and Hydro in July 2017 (the “Major Agreed Points”) specific to the MMTP are “commitments made to [the MMF] . otherwise on the record of the EH-001-2017,” and, if so, (2) whether Hydro has therefore breached the Conditions.

Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building Edmonton, AB, T5K 2B6
The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta 307 Legislature Building Edmonton, AB, T5K 2B6 March 19, 2020 Dear Premier, Re: Action Needed Now in Support of Individuals with Developmental Disabilities and Their Families We very much appreciate the recent and necessary actions you and your government have taken with respect to Albertans in general and services and supports for those with specific vulnerabilities, such seniors and women and children who rely on shelters for safety. We support the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN) in its reQuest to have the government offer a broader array of assistance to non-profit supports and services. In this light we want to ensure the voices of families of children and adult sons and daughters with developmental disabilities, persons with developmental disabilities themselves and those who support them, is not lost. The very vast majority of children and adults with developmental disabilities will only remain safe if they have personal supports in their lives. For as many as possible, this principally will come from families, but unsupported, families will still be at risk. And there are thousands who do not have family in their lives and require the support provided by agencies. Many individuals with developmental disabilities will not understand their degree of vulnerability, particularly as this population has a higher incidence of health challenges. They will not be able take the necessary precautions on their own and some cannot communicate readily or independently when they are not feeling well and potentially symptomatic. Yet others have parents who fall within vulnerable categories themselves and are thus limited in providing for their sons and daughters safety without risKing their own lives.

The Métis of Manitoba is at a key crossroads. secure.

Letter to the Minister of Education
Board Office 830 Powers Street Winnipeg, MB. R2V 4E7 Telephone: 204.586.8061 Fax: 204.589.2504 March 25, 2021 emailed March 25, 2021 Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Room 168 Legislative Bldg. 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Mr. Cullen: I write on behalf of our Seven Oaks School Division Board of Trustees to offer advice and suggestions related to the sweeping changes to education you’ve announced. We’re writing to offer constructive suggestions to benefit the students, staff and community of Seven Oaks for which we care deeply. 1. Equity in funding. We support your goal for all Manitoba students to “succeed, no matter where they live, their background or their individual circumstances.” Seven Oaks and other school divisions with modest assessment have long been disadvantaged. We consistently spend less than other school divisions yet our taxpayers face higher bills. In 2019-2020 we spent $802 per pupil or 6% less than the provincial average. Yet our homeowners paid taxes 2.9 mills over the provincial average. That’s 21% more and that is $391.50 on a house valued at $300,000. We urge you to adopt a uniform provincial mill rate for 2022-2023 school year budgets. That would immediately bring greater fairness to taxation levels throughout the province and ease the burden on those ratepayers who’ve been overtaxed for years. 2. Don’t abandon what’s working. Our Seven Oaks schools are good now and are working hard to get even better. We attach a summary of our results as a system - “Seven Oaks by the Numbers”.

Report of the Vice-President Advocacy
TO: UMSU Membership FROM: UMSU VPA, Kristin Smith DATE: Thursday, December 3, 2020 RE: 2020 Annual General Meeting VPA Report Report of the Vice-President Advocacy General Responsibilities Student Senate Caucus (SSC) I co-chair the Student Senate Caucus with UMGSA Vice-President (Academic) Rubel Talukder. We on-boarded the newly elected Senators in May, and distributed the revised Student Senate Caucus Handbook. Since then, we have been meeting on a monthly basis ahead of Senate meetings. Student Senate Caucus offers a venue for senators to voice their concerns about the Senate agenda prior to the Senate meeting, and to articulate questions to be raised at Senate. I construct the SSC agendas through reviewing the Senate agenda for the next meeting, pulling out the most important items for discussion, and distilling the issues in appendices. Senators understand they are encouraged to read the Senate agenda when it comes out to help identify if something should be added. The Student Senate Caucus has been eager in adopting an advocacy role as well, having submitted 2 proposals to the University, led by myself as Caucus co-chair: one for compassionate grading, and another for various measures to improve online learning. The Student Senate Caucus has also successfully filled the majority of Senate Committee seats requiring student representation. Individual Student Cases I have helped many students on individual advocacy concerns since beginning my term at UMSU. Sometimes it is as simple as answering a set of questions, providing advice, or connecting students with another office. Other times, students request that I be their official advocate in a disciplinary case, final grade appeal, admissions appeal, case for special consideration, or a myriad of other issues.

The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6
The Honourable Jason Kenney Premier of Alberta Office of the Premier 307 Legislature Building 10800 - 97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B6 Dear Premier Kenney, Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable sector is prepared to support the Government of Alberta in this time of crisis to ensure support for communities and individuals. We are a vital aspect of the wider support system and, in many cases, we are at the front-line of caring for this province’s most vulnerable. To ensure continued delivery of essential services in this time of need, the Alberta Nonprofit Network (ABNN)—advocating on behalf of Alberta’s nonprofit and charitable organizations— urges the Government of Alberta to ensure additional funding is available to front-line organizations and provide assurance and flexibility regarding ongoing funding agreements. We are eager to establish clear lines of communication with the Government of Alberta and continue discussions on the impacts of COVID-19 on service delivery and the expectations of the sector. We were pleased to see the province provide emergency funding of $60 million to support select COVID-19-related social services. It was a clear confirmation of the critical role civil society organizations will play in managing this pandemic. However, it is crucial to recognize that many other front-line nonprofits will see increased demand for their services, including care facilities, food banks, and mental health organizations. Beyond front-line COVID-19-related services, many more organizations are considering the short- and long-term impacts of COVID-19 on operations. Now that organizations have taken the necessary precautions to protect staff and stakeholders from the spread of the virus, their attention has turned to the impacts that social isolation measures will have on operations, staffing, service delivery, and funding, including lost casino and event revenue.
