The garden show is one of the club’s biggest events of the year. Garden- ers from SIGC and beyond can enter plants in 10 different classes in hopes of bringing home a ribbon and some cash and prizes donated by local sponsors. Club president Tanya Daher said the show is important to garden- ers and it gives them a chance to be competitive. “Gardeners have always liked show- ing how nice their stuff is,” she said. There were 17 people who entered the show this year. Daher said three or four of them entered in 75 per cent Robert Daher, left, and sister Sarah of the show’s over 140 categories.

  • 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.

    Canadian eview V olume 39, No. 2 Moving Forward Together: Indigenous People and Parliament p. 24 The Mace currently in use in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan was made in 1906 and used for the first time in March of that year at the opening of the First Session of the First Legislative Assembly. Purchased from Ryrie Bros. Ltd. of Toronto at a cost of $340.00, it is made of heavy gold-plated brass and is about four feet long. The head consists of a Royal Crown with the arches surmounted by a Maltese cross and bears the Royal Coat-of-Arms on the top indicating the Royal Authority. Each side is decorated with a sheaf of wheat, representing the province’s agricultural wealth, a beaver representing Canada and the monogram E.R. VII, representing the sovereign at the time, Edward VII. The shaft and base are ornamented with a shamrock, thistle and rose intertwined. A Latin inscription around the Royal Coat of Arms reads in English, “Edward the Seventh, by the Grace of God of British Isles and Lands beyond the sea which are under British rule, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India”.

    Legislative Reports Implementation Act, 2016 which gives effect to budget initiatives, and the Food and Agricultural Products Classification Act which requires all food and beverage products marketed as “organic” to be certified under a provincial or national certification program by 2018. In addition, the Legislature adopted the Miscellaneous Statutes (Signed Statements) Amendment Act, 2016 which replaces the need for sworn statements with a simple, signed statement where appropriate. This legislation intends to reduce costs, delays and inconvenience for British Columbians by simplifying the law and making it easier to comply with legal requirements.

  • October 27, 2020 the Honourable Sarah
    October 27, 2020 The Honourable Sarah Guillemard Minister of Conservation and Climate 344 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Avenue Winnipeg MB R3C 0V8 Re: Regulatory Proposal - Biofuels Mandate and Renewable Fuels in Manitoba Dear Minister Guillemard, The Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA), the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) and the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) support the current regulatory proposal to amend The Biofuels Act that will update Manitoba’s clean fuel standards. The canola industry - from the 7,500 Manitoba farmers through to value chain business leaders - encourage your government to implement the proposed increase in the renewable content required in diesel fuel sold in the province from 2 to 5% effective January 1st, 2021. The canola industry fully supports your government’s implementation of this policy as it is a tangible, proven and measurable way to: • Decrease the environmental footprint from heavy-duty diesel vehicles with immediate greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions at a low cost; • Diversify the market for canola farmers by creating new domestic demand for crops; and • Increase the investment and job creation in Manitoba’s processing sector resulting from the improved regulatory stability. Canola sees this as a “win-win-win” for the environment, farmers and the economy and we support your demonstration of provincial leadership on this file, once again positioning Manitoba as the jurisdiction with the strongest volumetric requirement for biofuel in Canada. We are available to assist your government as required as you move towards implementation. Sincerely, Clayton Harder Rick White Jim Everson President President & CEO President Manitoba Canola Growers Association Canadian Canola Growers Association Canola Council of Canada cc: The Honourable Brian Pallister, Premier of Manitoba The Honourable Blaine Pederson, Minister of Agriculture and Resource Development The Honourable Ralph Eichler, Minister of Economic Development and Training .

  • Weekly Economic Digest
    Vol. 2, Issue 01 Province of Manitoba: Setting the Stage for 2021 Chris Ferris, Senior Economist January 8, 2021 Bottom Line Job creation and protection of vulnerable Manitobans will be the focus of the Manitoba government in 2021. Details of the plan are highlighted in the January 5, 2021 cabinet shuffle release. At the same time, the province’s evolving response to COVID-19 began late in December 2020, with the administration of a vaccine program. This is a good time to review issues on the Manitoba horizon and consider the economic outlook for 2021 in light of provincial government plans. Manitoba Finance released their 2020/21 Mid-Year Report - Fiscal and Economic Update on December 17, 2020. This report outlines the Manitoba Economic Review and Outlook and the impact of COVID-19 on provincial revenues and expenditures. It is clear that the better we can control the COVID-19 outbreak, the better economic results we are likely to see in 2021. Manitoba Government Cabinet Shuffle The January 5, 2021 Manitoba government cabinet shuffle split two departments into four as part of the focus on protecting vulnerable Manitobans and creating job opportunities. As highlighted by media outlets, the Health department will be divided into two portfolios: • Health and Senior’s Care (Minister Heather Stefanson), and • Mental Health, Wellness and Recovery (Minister Audrey Gordon). Economic Development and Training has also been split into two departments: • Economic Development and Jobs (Minister Ralph Eichler), • Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration (Minister Wayne Ewasko). COVID-19 Vaccines in Early Stages of Distribution As we start 2021, we are seeing a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
