CONFERENCE GUIDE SPONSORED by Wednesday, February 12, 2020 CONFERENCE GUIDE SPONSORED BY Wednesday, February 12, 2020 Canad Inns Polo Park CONFERENCE SCHEDULE conference sessions Retail Garden centre merchandising John Zaplatynsky Canada Garden Works John will identify how creative merchandise presentations can transform your garden centre into an inviting and exciting destination. The Green City - The Importance of Urban Green Space Bill Hardy, Business Owner Grow & Gather Garden Centre Climate change is affecting our cities, our communities, and our homes and is changing the way we must design and build our urban landscapes. Each city, town and community must then, seek solutions and develop initiatives that are specific to their needs. Bill will provide an overview of how this can be done. Achieving Freedom & Profit, do you have what it takes? Nathan Helder, President Southbrook Consulting In this seminar you will learn from an industry expert that creating a culture of ownership, operating with an open book management style, paying your staff above industry rates and providing career paths will lead to increase profits and personal freedom. Nathan, a 3rd generation business owner will use first hand examples and share how he transformed Gelderman Landscape Services into a industry leading landscape company. Emerald Ash Borer in Minnesota - What has Slowed the Spread? Mark Abrahamson, Plant Protection Division Director, Minnesota Department of Agriculture Emerald ash borer has been in Minnesota since 2005 when it arrived in St Paul. The first discovery of EAB was in 2009 and since then it has been found in 20 counties which is much less than was anticipated. Compared to the speed at which EAB has spread generally in the U.S., the rate has been about 1/3 of that in Minnesota. We will consider the history of EAB in Minnesota and why that difference is occurring. conference sessions Great Plants for the Prairies Owen Vanstone, Vanstone Nurseries, Philip Ronald, Jeffries Nurseries, Scott Peter, Aubin Nurseries Join us for a tour through some of the best new and recent plant introductions for the Prairie region. Expect to learn about everything from perennials and planters to shrubs and shade trees from people that work with these plants every day and can offer firsthand experience. Learn how local hardiness and performance trials offer tremendous insight into the suitability of new introductions to Prairie gardens. This is one session that anyone with an interest in plants won’t want to miss. The rewards of volunteering Bill Hardy, Business Owner Grow & Gather Garden Centre What is a Weasel Worker? How did becoming a Weasel Worker lead to being the head coordinator at the top of the track at the Ladies Downhill during the 2010 Winter Olympics. How did agreeing to volunteer for the 4:00 am shift in the dark and pouring rain of the holding lot at the CanWest Horticulture Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre lead to being a VIP at the 2019 Beijing World Horticulture Expo Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and almost get detained for accidentally sitting in the Chinese Presidents Chair? Join Bill and follow him on his trip down the path of almost 40 years of volunteerism. What to do with a Downpour: Ornamental Ways to Handle Rainwater Sean James, Owner Sean James Consulting & Design Development has resulted in large areas of impermeable surfaces, leading to flooding and damage to infrastructure and waterways. Techniques will be discussed to aid in infiltrating rainwater into the soil while beautifying landscapes and allowing a more unusual palette of plants to be used. We’ll cover how to design and build a rain garden including placement, construction, and plant choice. Tree risk assessment: Principles, practices and progress Alex Satel, Senior consultant - urban forestry and arboriculture Urban Forest Innovations Inc. This presentation examines the elements of tree risk assessment in an urban forest context. Attendees will learn about the concept of risk; tree biology as it relates to risk; tree biomechanics; ‘defects’ and modes of failure; industry standards, best practices and methods of risk assessment; and conservation-oriented options for risk mitigation. The presentation will review the full range of risk assessment practices and methods, from limited visual assessment to emerging and experimental methods employing technology first developed by NASA for use in the space shuttle program. conference sessions Take Control of your Fleet Vehicle Costs with Jim Pattison Lease and General Motors Sean Kavitch, Account Executive Jim Pattison Lease and Doug Reimer, Fleet Account Manager GM of Canada Discussing Fleet Management cost saving strategies utilizing the GM and CNLA/MBNLA discount program. Introduction to Green Infrastructure Rohan Lilauwala, Program Manager Green Infrastructure Foundation Green infrastructure refers to natural and human-made elements that provide ecological and hydrological functions and processes to address environmental resilience and climate change, and include elements like trees, wetlands, rain gardens, and green roofs. This session introduces participants to the rationale for green infrastructure, its elements, benefits, and the principles behind successful policy and implementation of these systems. Talk Dirty: Soil and the Things Living in it Sean James, Owner Sean James Consulting & Design We’re learning much about soil and its importance to plant health and climate change. The latest information and science will be discussed. Several main questions will be asked and answered. How do we steward the soil microbiome? What are the beneficial bacteria and fungi? What activities harm the soil and therefore the plants? Can better soil stewardship also mean lower maintenance? It’s a dirty topic, but someone’s got to cover it. EAB Management and trapping/Lallemand Plant Care- Microbial in Nature Ryan Longo, Bioforest, Business Development and Technical Specialist Emerald Ash Borer trapping and treatment strategies. Lallemand Plant Care utilizes microorganisms and bacteria in various applications, servicing many different sectors of plant production from food production to horticulture nurseries. learn more about OMRI listed products that can solubilize organic and Organic phosphorus to an organic herbicide used for buck thorn control. conference sessions Preventing the Movement of Pests and Disease in Nursery Stock Mark Abrahamson, Plant Protection Division Director, Minnesota Department of Agriculture The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is responsible for preventing the movement of pests and disease through nursery stock and insuring that clean, viable stock is available in the market place. To accomplish this task the Department maintains a program to inspect both the stock grow in Minnesota as well as that which is brought into the state for sale. Making the case for Green Infrastructure Rohan Lilauwala, Program Manager Green Infrastructure Foundation The benefits of green infrastructure - like stormwater management, energy savings, increased resilience to climate change, and improved air quality - are well known and accepted. However, these benefits are rarely measured, and their value not included in important policy, investment, and development decisions. This session helps participants understand the principles behind valuing green infrastructure's many benefits, so that these valuations can be used to make better decisions around limited resources. The Art of Ruthless Execution Nathan Helder, President Southbrook Consulting How committed to winning are you? Why do good ideas fail? Why is it so hard to win? How is it that each year we create a new plan, yet there always appears to be reasons why the plan did not happen. Being successful is hinged on being consistent, 100% of the time, Ruthless! Learn how to create the right environment, have the right focus and build the right team. Tree Planting Solutions for Hard Spaces Alex Satel, Senior consultant - urban forestry and arboriculture Urban Forest Innovations Inc. Urban forests lack many of the features of natural forests that are critical for tree survival, and throw a few other challenges into the mix. But don’t despair! Despite the perils posed by urban landscapes, there are ways to effectively and sustainably integrate healthy trees into even the most difficult of hard spaces. This presentation reviews key lessons learned from successful (and unsuccessful) tree planting case studies in highly urbanized and challenging locations that can be applied in any community seeking to go from grey to green. speaker biographies Nathan Helder is CEO of Gelderman Landscape Services, located in Waterdown, ON.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    TOP EMPLOYERS COMPETITION ABOUT MORE THAN JUST NUMBERS BY GEOFF KIRBYSON Your dream employer might be Google or Facebook, but the researchers behind the Manitoba’s Top Employers project hope job-seekers will wake up to what really makes a company a great place to work. As part of the Toronto-based Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition, the research team aims to increase the literacy of the national workforce, particularly millennials who tend to get caught up in the hype surrounding high-profile companies. Likes, views and retweets are fine in the moment, but they’re worth nothing when it comes to your future, they say. “We still write about great employers with defined benefit pension plans,” says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which manages the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “People don’t realize that can be the difference between a happy retirement or no retirement at all. As you get older, vacation time makes a big difference (in where you want to work). We still see employers offering two weeks to start and three weeks after five years. We like to publish what the MANITOBA’S very best are doing,” he says. Mediacorp has been ranking Canadian employers of all kinds for 19 years and Meehan’s team of editors doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting TOP EMPLOYERS stories of doing things differently in their industry WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2018 or region. “Each year, employers bare their souls to us. We have 400 data points that each of them shares with us, including benefits like maternity leave, top vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors,” he says.

  • Manitoba's Top Employers
    A SUPPLEMENT TO THE WEDNESDAY, MANITOBA’S DECEMBER 4, 2019 TOP EMPLOYERS VIEW ONLINE AT winnipegfreepress.com/publications - For advertising information, call: 204-697-7389 3 TOP EMPLOYERS RAISE THE BAR By Geoff Kirbyson It’s getting easier and easier to have a baby in Manitoba. But, wait — it’s not what you think. More than half of the companies on the Manitoba’s Top Employers list offer maternity leave top-up to new mothers and precisely half make paternity leave top-up available to new dads. That’s not all. Two companies, RAPID RTC, a software developer specializing in the automotive and agricultural sectors, and insurance giant Canada Life offer in vitro fertilization subsidies to employees who can’t conceive naturally. RAPID RTC’s subsidy is up to $15,000 while Canada Life offers $3,000. And two more employers, Manitoba Hydro and Roquette Canada, which operates a massive pea protein plant in Portage la Prairie, offer adoption assistance. Hydro’s benefit tops out at $10,000 while Roquette offers $500. “Those types of benefits were unheard of 14 years ago, when the Manitoba competition was launched,” said Tony Meehan, founder and president of Mediacorp Canada Inc., which organizes the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. The program is in its 20th year nationally and its 14th in Manitoba. Meehan said the editorial team at Mediacorp doesn’t get tired of scouring the country looking for employers with interesting stories of doing things differently in their industry or region. “Each year, companies bare their souls to us. We have about 400 data points, including maternity leave, vacation allowance, training and a host of other factors we consider,” he said.

  • Madison 115 - 24 Kv Station Project
    Madison 115 - 24 kV Station Project ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT February 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Manitoba Hydro is proposing to construct a new 115 – 24 kilovolt (kV) station (Madison Station) at 555 Madison Street, south of Ellice Avenue, near Century Street, in the City of Winnipeg. The purpose of the new Madison 115 – 24 kV Station is to ensure reliable electrical supply to customers, address load growth, as well as safety and reliability issues associated with the aging St. James Station (located south of the proposed station site on St. James Street at Portage Avenue). The anticipated in-service date for the project is 2015 with construction activities planned to commence in 2013. The proposed site for the new station is owned by Manitoba Hydro and is located adjacent to an existing Manitoba Hydro right-of-way. There is an existing building and parking lot at 555 Madison Street which will be decommissioned and demolished as part of the project. The concept for Madison Station is for the 115 and 24 kV station components to be air insulated. There is a potential that the footprint for the actual station site could be smaller if either or both of the 115 and 24 kV components are gas insulated. In either case, the new station will be contained within the property at 555 Madison Street. The decision regarding gas versus air insulated switchgear will be made at the detailed design stage for the project. In order to provide power to the station, the project includes termination of three existing 115 kV transmission line circuits — St James to Sherbrook Station (SB14), Rosser to St.

  • 2011/2012 Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) Graduate Employment Survey Results
    2011/2012 Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) Graduate Employment Survey Results The Asper School of Business - Career Development Centre conducted a telephone survey on the graduates of the 2011/2012 Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) program. Out of a class of 440 students, 272 were contacted. Of these 272 graduates, 39 were not actively seeking full-time employment and were removed from the sample (see question 13). Therefore, the final sample size used to calculate the survey results was 233 graduates. All n’s do not equal 233 for the following reasons: Due to the skip pattern of the survey, not all respondents were required to answer all the questions. Not all respondents answered all the questions. Some questions permitted multiple responses. Q. 1 & 2 This question refers to the respondent's name, address, and phone number.

  • 2015-2016 Annual Report
    Bringing Hope to Life ANNUAL REPORT 2015-2016 A Message From the Chair of the Board and CEO As the HSC Foundation approaches its 40th year of making a difference for patients and their families in our province and beyond, we are privileged to be involved with this facility that has touched so many lives in our community over the years. We can’t thank you enough - the people and organizations who get involved with the HSC Foundation through donating, fundraising, volunteering, helping with our events, or by informing Chair of the HSC Foundation Board, Tina Jones with President and CEO, others about the good work being carried out at the hospital. Jonathon Lyon In the pages ahead you will read how this remarkable support from our community has enabled us to build on that foundation. Together in the past year we raised more than $9.5 million for HSC Winnipeg – to fund important programs for patients and other priorities like research grants, new integrated operating rooms, and other initiatives that have a significant impact on the health care we deliver to patients. Many of you directly supported the Centre for Surgical Innovation, a focus of our fundraising efforts for good reason. The Centre contains specialized MRI equipment that saves lives and leads to faster recovery times for patients. Each year, more and more of our loved ones are benefiting from this facility and the technology inside. Earlier in the year we were also thrilled to celebrate the official opening of the integrated operating rooms with our esteemed donors, HSC and Foundation staff.
