  • Section M: Community Support
    Section M: Community Support Page 251 of 653 Community Support Health Canada’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services has developed the Children’s Services Reference Chart for general information on what types of health services are available in the First Nations’ communities. Colour coding was used to indicate where similar services might be accessible from the various community programs. A legend that explains each of the colours /categories can be found in the centre of chart. By using the chart’s colour coding system, resource teachers may be able to contact the communities’ agencies and begin to open new lines of communication in order to create opportunities for cost sharing for special needs services with the schools. However, it needs to be noted that not all First Nations’ communities offer the depth or variety of the services described due to many factors (i.e., budgets). Unfortunately, there are times when special needs services are required but cannot be accessed for reasons beyond the school and community. It is then that resource teachers should contact Manitoba’s Regional Advisor for Children Special Services to ask for direction and assistance in resolving the issue. Manitoba’s Regional Advisor, Children’s Special Services, First Nations and Inuit Health Programs is Mary L. Brown.

Key highlights from this report include: • The agricultural industry in Manitoba is well established, although a relatively small part of the economy. On average, agricultural production contributes about 4.5 percent to the total provincial gross domestic product (GDP), food processing contributes an additional 2 to 4 percent. • The amount of farmland in Manitoba in 2011 was slightly lower than in 2006 (18 million acres compared to 19.1 million acres), but in general, the amount of farmland has remained relatively stable over the past 30 years (Figure 1.1) 1. • The top five activities producing the most in terms of farm cash receipts are canola, hogs, wheat, cattle and dairy (Figure 1.2) 1. • Canola production has grown steadily and accounts for the largest amount of seeded area.
