March was Pharmacist Awareness Month, which was officially declared by Health Minister, Cameron Friesen. We held a social media contest to help promote pharmacists as health care providers to the public, as well as a member contest. In April, the Health Minister attended our 2019 Awards Dinner and Welcome Reception at Pharmacists Manitoba’s Annual Conference. In August, we were invited to attend the PC Party’s election announcement where they pledged to pay pharmacists to prescribe medication for uncomplicated urinary tract infections. In October, Pharmacists Manitoba President, Pawandeep Sidhu gave Minister Friesen his flu shot at the government press conference promoting flu shots. Later that month we held a reception for MLAs at the Manitoba Legislature in collaboration with CPhA Board of Directors and Executive Staff. CEO, Brenna Shearer and President, Pawandeep Sidhu, were invited to the re-elected PC government’s Speech from the Throne in November, where the government affirmed commitment to pay for pharmacists to prescribe medication for uncomplicated UTIs. Throughout the year Pharmacists Manitoba received media coverage on a variety of topics including opioids, drug imports to the US, and the PCs election commitment to pay pharmacists to prescribe for uncomplicated UTIs. Pharmacists Manitoba will continue to build our relationship with the Manitoba government and to advocate on behalf of our members. We look forward to continuing to work with the government to improve our province’s healthcare system and to promoting the skills of pharmacists as a way to provide accessible and timely health care. We also look forward to our work with members to advocate and support their common goals. 3 |PHARMACISTS MANITOBA 2019 MEMBERSHIP & PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE REPORT The data from the purchase of memberships and professional liability insurance from 2018 - 2019 reveals that many Pharmacists Manitoba members see value in obtaining insurance through us.

    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.

    Honourable Brian Pallister, Premier of Manitoba [email protected]

    www.PreventCancerNow.ca bcam-mb.ca/ November 6, 2018 Via Email: Honourable Brian Pallister, Premier of Manitoba [email protected] REGARDING THE USE OF COSMETIC PESTICIDES Dear Premier Palliser; As the year wraps up and we look to celebrating families, there is no better time to reaffirm protection of children’s health from toxic chemicals where they live and play. Among many contributors to cancer, pesticides used to kill plants (herbicides) are linked with childhood leukemia as well as a range of cancers ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ including in hormone-sensitive tissues such as the breast, prostate and testes. In Manitoba, recent research demonstrated that lymphoid leukemia in youngsters increased steadily at 1.4% every year from ​ ​ 1984 to 2013. ​ Protection of children from herbicides was strengthened in 2015 when the Manitoba Non-Essential Pesticide Use Regulation (MR 286/2014) restricted herbicide use on lawns, school grounds, daycares, hospitals, and playing fields, to federally-approved safer products. Similar to other provinces including ​ ​ ​ Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, property owners and lawn care providers can use only provincially-approved herbicides such as the iron-based Fiesta, corn gluten meal, bio-pesticides and contact herbicide products. There are exemptions for gardens, golf courses, agricultural and forestry, and the control of noxious, poisonous or invasive plants. Of note, many jurisdictions extend restrictions to pesticides that kill insects as well, as seen in Ontario’s extensive list of lower risk biopesticides. ​ ​ ​ After a mere two years, the Manitoba Pesticide Ban came under review in April 2017, with some property owners and lawn care providers claiming that the permitted chemicals are ineffective and prohibitively expensive.
