This is our annual back- to-school issue, so we thought we’d go for a lighter-hearted, upbeat cover story. This is also the second time we’ve had a dog on the cover of our paper in my tenure, which is a neat fact, but that doesn’t mean that we’re shy- ing away from harder stories or ignoring some of the more troubling realities of life in our city. In this issue, we’re covering conversations Black Space Winnipeg hosted in late August about racism and white supremacy. We’re looking back at lessons learned from anti-panhandling campaigns run by the Downtown BIZ. And we’re discussing the importance of designated acces- sible parking spots, and why they’re so vital to Winnipeggers who use them. Our staff and volunteer contributors for this issue have also explored some of the creative ways ideas and tools are shared throughout our city. ArtsJunktion is celebrating 10 years of con- necting makers with needed supplies and skills, and PechaKucha night is introducing audiences to ideas and concepts in a unique visual style that could break down additional barriers. For new or emerging writers, we have an overview of workshops and resources available in the city to develop your craft. Another option, if you’re looking for mentorship and feedback, is to volunteer to write for us! Email volunteer@ uniter.ca or see page 23 for more information. We hope you enjoy this issue of The Uniter. We’ve got big plans for this year and a great team aboard to help with the work of pulling them off.

DR. TRIMBEE’S HOUSE photos by callie morris Thomas Pashko @thomaspashko Features reporter When Dr. Annette Trimbee became the seventh president and vice-chancellor of the University of Winnipeg in 2014, it represented a major life change. Trimbee, born and raised in Winnipeg, had spent 1 3 5 the last several decades in Edmonton, where she worked as a civil servant in the Government of Alberta. After living in the same house for 25 years, finding the right Winnipeg neighbourhood was a bit of a Goldilocks-and-the-Three Bears situation. “I wasn’t sure what community my husband would like,” Trimbee says. “We experimented.

    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.

  • Province Signs Deal with North Dakota to Vaccinate Manitoba Truckers in the United States
    April 23, 2021 Province Signs Deal with North Dakota to Vaccinate Manitoba Truckers in the United States Premier Pallister and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum announced the Essential Worker Cross- Border Vaccination Initiative, where North Dakota will administer COVID-19 vaccinations to Manitoba- based truck drivers transporting goods to and from the United States. This historic program is the first of its kind between a Canadian and American jurisdiction. With the assistance of the Manitoba Trucking Association (MTA) and its members, Manitoba will identify and co-ordinate with eligible individuals and work with North Dakota to schedule vaccination appointments for truck drivers during their routine trips to the U.S. over the next six to eight weeks. It is estimated roughly 2,000 to 4,000 Manitoba drivers will take part in this program. The North Dakota Department of Transportation’s rest area near Drayton, N.D., will initially serve as the vaccination site, which will also be open to North Dakotans ages 16 and older to get vaccinated. Vaccinations will take place from noon to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The state and province are establishing a joint-operations group to manage the initiative. The North Dakota Department of Health will provide nurses and other staff to administer the first and second doses of the vaccine to provide full immunization of truckers. There is no cost to the state or province as the U.S. government supplies the vaccine and reimburses the costs to administer. This deal will ensure the continuation of trade between the United States and Canada at the fifth- business border crossing connecting the two jurisdictions.
