  • 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.

  • 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 .

    Green Party of Manitoba PO Box 26023 RPO Maryland Winnipeg MB R3G 3R3 January, 28, 2021 Hon. Sarah Guillemard Minister of Conservation and Climate Room 344 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0V8 Email: [email protected] -delivered via email- RE: Manitoba Hydro’s Application for a Final License for the Augmented Flow Program for the Churchill River Diversion/Missi Falls Dam - Application for Final License The Water Power Act Please accept this letter as an official comment on the final licence decision for the Churchill River Diversion (CRD) project, and place it in the public registry under The Water Power Act. We note that the process for issuing renewal or termination of the final license in accordance with section 46 of the Water Power Regulation has not started because the CRD still operates on an interim license nearly fifty years later. We also note the situation is also very similar for Lake Winnipeg Regulation (LWR). Although, we are generally focussing these comments on the CRD, frankly, you really cannot talk about the one project without the other as the two projects are fundamentally linked together. In fact the only proper analysis is to look holistically at the entire watershed and the entire hydroelectric system together. Not taking such a holistic systems approach does a disservice to all Manitobans. In 1973 Manitoba Hydro was granted an interim license under The Water Power Act to operate the CRD. The CRD diverts most of the water from the Churchill River into the Rat River–Burntwood River–Nelson River system.

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.
