  • 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.

  • Guide Des Collectivités Des Premières Nations
    Guide des Collectivités des Premières nations Région du Manitoba 2012-2013 Premières nations du Manitoba En mars 2012, le Manitoba comptait 140,975 membres inscrits des Premières nations, dont 84,874 membres (60,2 p. cent) habitent dans les réserves. Ce pourcentage place le Manitoba au deuxième rang derrière l’Ontario au chapitre du nombre total de personnes vivant dans les réserves et de la population autochtone totale à l’échelle provinciale. Le rapport intitulé Population indienne inscrite selon le sexe et la résidence 2012 confirme que 84,303 (59,8 p. cent) des membres des Premières nations au Manitoba sont âgés de moins de 30 ans. Au Manitoba il y a 63 Premières nations, parmi lesquelles on retrouve 6 des 20 plus importantes bandes indiennes au Canada. On note aussi que 23 Premières nations ne disposent pas de route d’accès praticable en tout temps. Ce dilemme touche plus de la moitié de tous les membres des Premières nations qui vivent dans les réserves. Il existe cinq groupes linguistiques au sein des Premières nations du Manitoba: cri, ojibway, dakota, oji-cri et déné. À l’exception de cinq Premières nations du Manitoba - sioux Birdtail, Sioux Valley, Canupawakpa, Dakota Tipi et Dakota Plains - qui ne sont signataires d’aucun traité avec le Canada, celui-ci a signé sept traités, soit les traités nos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, avec toutes les autres Premières nations de la province. Les Premières nations du Manitoba sont représentées par trois organismes politiques provinciaux répartis selon un axe nord-sud. Principale organisation politique, l’Assemblée des chefs du Manitoba représente 59 chefs du Manitoba.
