Manitoba's Future Our Children’s Success: MANITOBA’S FUTURE Report of the Commission on K to12 Education March 2020 02 Report of the Commission on Kindergarten to Grade 12 Education LETTER TO THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION The Honourable Kelvin Goertzen Minister of Education Government of Manitoba 168 Legislative Building Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Goertzen: We are pleased to submit to you the final report of the Commission on K to12 Education. We thank you for the opportunity to conduct this timely review by listening to the advice and good counsel of the widest possible cross-section of Manitobans. We thank all those who met with us, attended the public interactive workshops, provided submissions, presented briefs, and participated in discussions and online surveys. It was, indeed, a pleasant experience for us to see the passion and commitment of Manitobans who had one goal in common: to make the system even more effective, relevant, and engaging for all of Manitoba’s students. Our recommendations represent the consensus we have forged, and the conclusions reached after almost a year of hearings, research on successful practices in Canada and internationally, and careful and intense deliberations on what works to improve schools and to create a world-class education system. This report represents a comprehensive review of the province’s elementary and secondary education system – the first of its kind in decades. We sought input on key areas of focus including student learning, teaching, accountability for student learning, governance, and funding. In all, we received 62 briefs, 2,309 written submissions, 1,260 responses to the teacher survey and 8,891 to the public survey, as well as numerous phone calls, handwritten notes, and personal emails. It is clear that Manitobans are supportive of their school system. They appreciate its strengths and are also aware of the areas that require immediate attention. They want to have excellent schools wherever they choose to live in the province. We took your invitation to help shape our education system quite seriously. We are counting on you to implement our recommendations and to further enable and build the capacity of those who teach, lead, and govern to continue to do their best work. We are counting on all staff within our divisions to persist in working co-operatively to provide the avenues, tools, and pathways to success for all students, regardless of their backgrounds or personal circumstances. We encourage you to continue to engage parents, community, business, labour, and industry to create partnerships that further cement their support for our schools. Fortunately, the will to take the schools to higher levels of achievement exists across Manitoba.

With the idea that Manitoba would become the most improved system in Canada, the government appointed a diverse team of commissioners to propose a renewed vision for K to 12 education, make bold recommendations to ignite change, and consider the continuum of early learning, post-secondary education, and labour market needs as part of an integrated lifelong learning system. There is a clarion call across the world to reform education systems. Many elected

  • Community Colleges, Smes, and Innovation in Manitoba
    Collaborating for Innovation: Community colleges, SMEs, and innovation in Manitoba by Thomas Keith Edmunds A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in Rural Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © T. Keith Edmunds, 2015 ABSTRACT COLLABORATING FOR INNOVATION: COMMUNITY COLLEGES, SMES, AND INNOVATION IN MANITOBA Thomas Keith Edmunds Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Dr. Al Lauzon The importance of SMEs to the Canadian economy coupled with the significant role of innovation in ensuring the long-term viability of these businesses highlights the value of removing any barriers to innovation that may be experienced. Community colleges may provide a largely untapped resource for SMEs seeking to innovate. Focussing on Manitoba’s college system, this research was conducted utilizing interviews with key informants from three community colleges and surveys distributed widely throughout the province’s business community. A number of impressions were formed from this largely exploratory research project, including: (1) the conceptual model on which this research was largely based may not be ideally suited for all community college situations; (2) colleges and SMEs appear to have different operational definitions of “innovation”; (3) SMEs are largely unaware of the capacities of colleges to provide services regarding innovation; and (4) colleges have often developed bureaucratic roadblocks to the provision of services to SMEs. iii Acknowledgements This project could not have been completed without the support of many people. I gratefully acknowledge the following individuals: My advisor, Al Lauzon, who tolerated both long delays in activity and frantic barrages of emails asking for advice.

  • Overview Manitoba's Post-Secondary System
    POST-SECONDAY PATHWAYS IN MANITOBA Pathways to Education and Work Centre for the Study of Canadian and International Higher Education Qualifications: The Link Between Educational and Occupational Pathways and Labour Market Outcomes is a project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The four-year project investigates the nature of pathways within postsecondary education, and between postsecondary education and the labour market. As part of this project, the Provincial Pathways profile series lays the groundwork for further inquiry contrasting and comparing educational and occupational pathways in Canadian provinces and territories. Manitoba: Overview The degree of coordination of postsecondary education in Manitoba has fluctuated over the course of its history. An initial system of a single university governing a constellation of denominational colleges (Gregson, 1996) has evolved into a system of autonomous institutions, linked through an array of coordinating endeavors. The province’s present post-secondary system supports both English and French language learners. Manitoba’s large and expanding Indigenous populations are an impetus for innovation as traditionally structured institutions partner with Indigenous communities and educators to develop programs and institutional structures that provide “culturally sensitive” and place based education in the province’s North. (University College of the North, 2005). Manitoba’s Post-Secondary System Manitoba’s post-secondary education system is governed by the Advanced Learning Division of the province’s Education and Training Department. The system is comprised of Four universities Four public colleges and institutes Private, degree-granting religious institutes Private vocational training schools The system began with one university and an affiliated college system (Gregor, 1997).1 The Universities Establishment Act (1967) converted two of these colleges into universities in their own right: Brandon University (Brandon College) and the University of Winnipeg (United College).

  • 515 PORTAGE AVENUE – WESLEY COLLEGE (WESLEY HALL, UNIVERSITY of WINNIPEG) George Browne and S.F
    515 PORTAGE AVENUE – WESLEY COLLEGE (WESLEY HALL, UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG) George Browne and S.F. Peters, 1894-95 The development of advanced education in Manitoba was spearheaded by church institutions. Earliest among them were St. Boniface College (Roman Catholic, 1818), St. John’s College (Anglican, 1866), and Manitoba College (Presbyterian, 1871). When the University of Manitoba was established in 1877, it became the provincial examining authority, but teaching remained the prerogative of the affiliated denominational colleges. The year 1877 also saw the incorporation of two new bodies, Wesley College (Wesleyan Methodist) and Trinity College (Methodist Episcopal). The Wesleyan Methodists had previously (1873-77) operated an educational institute to fill a void in Winnipeg’s public school system. That experience did not translate, however, into the immediate implementation of Wesley © City of Winnipeg 2001 College’s charter. Instead, it took about a decade before the college was in a position to offer post-secondary courses in theology and the liberal arts. During that time, the Wesleyan and Episcopal Methodists were united into one church, the college’s charter was revised, funds were raised to hire staff, affiliation with the University of Manitoba was approved, and Reverend J.W. Sparling of Kingston, Ontario, was appointed principal. The first classes opened in the fall of 1888 in Grace Church on Notre Dame Avenue. As enrolment expanded, the college moved to rented facilities on Albert Street, then in 1890 to a converted house at Broadway and Edmonton Street. Steps also were taken to assemble the land and money needed for a permanent building. The chosen site was in West Winnipeg on the Spence Estate near Manitoba College.

  • Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging
    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I. INTRODUCTION innipeg is known as the mosquito capital of Canada and “in the summer of 2001,West Nile Virus was recognized as an W emerging public health threat”.2 As a result, provincial and civic officials pumped millions of dollars into fighting the bugs by helicopter and on foot.

  • Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way!
    Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way! Manitoba College’s Deaconess Training Program 1920 to 1939 Sherri McConnell June 1, 1998 Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way! Manitoba College’s Deaconess Training Program 1920 to 1939 Toronto is considered the historical centre for Deaconess training within The United Church of Canada. Toronto was the site of two denominational training schools prior to Church Union; the Methodist National Training School established in 1893 and the Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home (also known as Ewart Training Home) established in 1897.1 These two schools joined to create the United Church Training School Church after union in 1925, and the subsequent decisions of General Council of 1926 regarding the unified Deaconess Order and the future of the old training schools.2 Housed in the former Methodist School, the United Church Training College became the United Church School for Deaconess and Missionary Training.3 What is less commonly remembered is that this school was not the only school for Deaconess preparation at that time. Winnipeg, Manitoba was home to a Deaconess training school as well. This made-in-Manitoba program began in 1920 through the Presbyterian Theological School, Manitoba College. The Women’s Department continued on until 1939, the year that Wesley College and Manitoba College officially merged into United College. At this time the Women’s Department disappears from historical documentation. The purpose of this paper is to uncover the life and death of the Manitoba College Deaconess training program. My personal perspective and agenda is part of this purpose. I was a woman who moved to Toronto to attend the Centre for Christian Studies (formerly United Church Training College and then Covenant College) in 1987.
