EMBERLEY, C.E.T. 2016 has been another eventful year in our quest to secure a new home and continue our existence, but before I remark on the year that was, I wish to start with an event that occurred near the end of the year. Shirley Render, our Executive Director since late 2002, has relinquished the reins so to speak and has transitioned to a new part-time role as Curator and Executive Director Emeritus. After many years of long days and many weekends as Executive Director, Shirley will focus on the Curator’s role, a role she also filled while being Executive Director, and which puts her great knowledge of Canadian aviation history to good use. Before becoming Executive Director, she also served in a number of volunteer roles including as President and as a Board Member. Shirley has been the driving force behind the museum since she assumed the Executive Director

  • February 28Th, 2021 the Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
    February 28th, 2021 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister, In January, 2021, I wrote to you encouraging the Province of Manitoba to ensure the full participation of the Manitoba Metis Federation in Manitoba’s vaccine planning and distribution. I was hopeful, after conversations with Ministers Stefanson and Clarke, that progress was being made. While I understand that some meetings have taken place, it is unfortunate that significant issues appear to remain with regards to the vaccine distribution process in Manitoba – notably the issue of equal access for all Indigenous populations. I read with great concern the CBC Manitoba article of February 24th, 2021 that outlined that Métis and Inuit citizens will not be prioritized to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) states that “adults living in Indigenous communities, which include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, where infection can have disproportionate consequences such as those living in remote or isolated areas where access to health care may be limited, should be prioritized to receive initial doses of COVID-19 vaccines.” It is well established that Indigenous peoples disproportionately face poorer health outcomes, which includes Métis and Inuit, making them more vulnerable to COVID-19, which is why NACI made this recommendation. The rapid rise in cases in First Nations communities has already shown the need to prioritize vaccinations and we can see that working as the number of new cases continue to decline. This underscores the importance of tracking and sharing data for all Indigenous populations.

  • July 23, 2020 the Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room
    July 23, 2020 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Room 204 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 The Honourable Scott Fielding Minister of Finance Room 109 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister and Minister Fielding, As President of the Manitoba Nurses Union, I am joining with nurses’ unions across the country in calling for presumptive legislation for health care workers who contract COVID-19 to urgently be brought into place by your government. I am also voicing my support for the Manitoba Federation of Labour’s request for presumptive legislation for frontline workers in this province who contract COVID-19. As the World Health Organization notes, health care workers “face higher risks of potential COVID-19 infection in their efforts to protect the greater community.”1 Based on an analysis of data from the U.S. and the U.K., frontline health care workers had a nearly 12 times higher risk of testing positive for COVID-19 than individuals from the general population. The risk was even greater for those workers who lacked access to personal protective equipment (PPE).2 Frontline health care workers in this province have a higher likelihood of being exposed to COVID-19 because of their workplace, and in some cases, will be frequently exposed to it over lengthy durations. Through the nature of their work – treating COVID-19 patients or being exposed to an environment with individuals testing positive for COVID-19 – it should come as little surprise that health care workers have been disproportionately infected with the virus across the country.

  • May 13Th, 2020 the Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba
    Canadian Public Affairs 222 Queen Street, Suite 1404 Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5V9 May 13th, 2020 The Honourable Brian Pallister Premier of Manitoba Legislative Assembly of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3C 0V8 Dear Premier Pallister, I’m writing on behalf of Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) to ask you to continue investing in public infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, now and after the COVID-19 pandemic to support the province’s economic recovery. AED is the international trade association companies that sell, rent, service and manufacture construction, mining, farm, energy, forestry and industrial equipment and related supplies. The Canadian equipment distribution industry, which is dominated by small-medium-sized, family- owned businesses, has more than 420 locations across the country that employ over 27,000 workers and account for at least $8 billion in annual economic activity. Research shows that the return of investment on every dollar spent on infrastructure is between $2.46 and $3.83. Research also shows that infrastructure investments are one of the best ways to rebuild an economy and quickly generate thousands of jobs. It also goes further than just supporting construction. Investments support the multiple suppliers of the industry, such as heavy equipment, and supports a variety of other industries indirectly. For example, expanding highways or public transit makes getting to work for millions of people more efficient. AED members supported infrastructure investments prior to the pandemic and stand ready to support construction after. Our members are essential to ensuring that infrastructure is built efficiently and well to serve generations of Canadians. From pavers, to excavators, to bulldozers, the equipment which our members provide to the construction sector in the province allows them to make public infrastructure investments go the distance.
