  • Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences the University of Manitoba
    Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences The University of Manitoba Progress Review January – December 2004 dean’s message It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 51st Annual Progress Review of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba. In the following pages, you will learn about the many academic, research and outreach activities undertaken by the Faculty in 2004. Much of what is reported here was initiated under the guidance of Harold Bjarnason, who completed his term as Dean of the Faculty in July 2004. During his time in the Faculty, he had great vision and started the ball rolling on many of the projects in which we are cur- rently engaged. My goal is to build on his accomplishments and the Faculty’s many strengths. We can do this by focusing on multi-disci- plinary research themes, continuing to provide a high quality learning environment and supporting our staff in their valuable outreach and service activities. We are very excited about the Faculty’s changing physical landscape. The Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals is Mission Statement quickly taking shape on the Fort Garry campus. We, along with the Faculties of Human Ecology, Pharmacy and Medicine look forward to To provide leadership in the opening of this innovative research centre in Smartpark at the education and research by end of 2005. Construction has also begun on the National Centre for advancing the knowledge Livestock and the Environment located at the Glenlea Research and understanding of sci- Station - Canada’s first facility to integrate the study of animal and ence related to production, crop production systems looking, for example, at long-term nutrient or pathogen flow in the environment.

Southwest Manitoba has traditionally been considered part of the semi-arid Palliser Triangle. Today Wade (l) and Ryan Flannery are among the area farmers Losses are calculated using whose fields are sprouting cattails, not crops. PHOTO: MEGHAN MAST a mail-out survey. This year 63 beekeepers responded, repre- senting just over 50 per cent of the province’s colonies.

They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of magic and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. What we cherish as part of our national identity, we also recognise as part of our national responsibility. All Canadians share the obligation to preserve and protect Canada’s unique cultural and natural heritage. Together, we hold our national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas in trust for the benefit of this and future generations. To achieve this, practical action grounded in long term thinking is needed. These principles form the foundation of this new management plan for Riel House National Historic Site of Canada.

  • River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations
    MORE PEOPLE BIKING MORE OFTEN River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations Given the poor lack of north/south connectivity between River Road and the Henteleff Park/South St. Vital Trail corridor, a pathway along the Red River connecting the Minnetonka and Normand Park neigbourhoods would be a positive addition to Winnipeg’s bicycle network. Ultimately, we feel that this pathway could be extended south to Maple Grove Park. Of course, any investment in a pathway connection along the Red River will need to maximize connections to the local and regional bicycle network, and to neighbourhood, community, and regional destinations. We feel that the benefits of this project would be greatly increased by improving walking and cycling connections to St. Amant Centre, Minnetonka School and Park, Greendell Park Community Centre, and Darwin School & Park. Ideally, the planned pathway would also provide a spur giving access across St. Mary’s Road into Dakota Park and the River Park South neighbouhood, but given potential rights of way and their distance from existing traffic signals on St. Mary’s Road, this may not be achievable. Without a signalized crossing of St. Mary’s Road and access through the Okolita Park development into Dakota Park, we feel that the missing connections to St. Amant Cenre, Minnetonka School and Park, and Greendell Park Community Centre should take priority over any connection to St. Mary’s Road.

We have literally tried to do good to all men, but especially to those of the household of faith as the apostle enjoined— L.J. BURKHOLDER.' Cooperation truly succeeds only when the people see in it a great social enterprise and are gripped by the desire for justice and the will to make the world a better-place in which to live—}.}. SIEMENS.2 T TNDIVIDED CANADIAN attention to the disaster facing the Mennonites in the Soviet Union was impossible in view of the calamitous onslaught in the 193 Os of the world-wide economic depression. The international and national financial paralysis affected the Mennonites, particularly on the Canadian prairies, in diverse ways and brought forth a variety of responses to ensure survival. Old forms of co-operation and mutual aid were revived and strengthened, and some new forms were devised, partly to replace what had once been and partly to deal with the new circumstances. Mennonite individualism likewise manifested new vigour, as some resisted the dole both for themselves and for others, and as hundreds of families took to the road once again in search of a more promising land.
