  • Province Provides Millions of Dollars for Safe Schools As Pandemic Continues
    May 28, 2021 Province Provides Millions of Dollars for Safe Schools as Pandemic Continues The province is allocating $58 million in new funding for the 2021-22 school year to ensure continued pandemic protection for schools and toward resources to support the mental health and well-being of students and staff. Investments for next school year include: • $40 million for the per pupil allocation to school divisions and independent schools for additional staffing, learning and technology, and health and safety; • $6 million for potential costs for PPE; • $5 million for the Kindergarten to Grade 8 Remote Learning Support Centre for students who are medically compromised; and • $7 million in contingency including a $5-million recovery learning fund. The Kindergarten to Grade 8 Remote Learning Support Centre will support students requiring medical accommodations and not able to return to in-person classes. The centre, operated by St. James Assiniboia and Pembina Trails school divisions, will employ teachers, clinical staff and technical support to provide remote learning for 1,000 students. For the current school year, the province is projected to invest up to $170 million by the end of June including $85 million in federal contributions. Manitoba Education is working with education stakeholders and public health officials to ensure teachers and students are supported as they continue to teach and learn during this global pandemic. It is anticipated there will be some level of public health measures for fall 2021 and the types of measures in the fall will be dependent upon vaccination rollout. MLA Reyes Introduces Bill 233 Recognizing June as Filipino Heritage Month MLA Jon Reyes introduced a Private Member’s Bill this week, Bill 233: The Filipino Heritage Month Act.

  • Report to the Community Via the Seine
    JUNE 2019 Report to the Community Via the Seine A season to remember When players on the Collège St. Norbert Collegiate junior varsity girls team are asked how their season went this year, they can honestly say it was perfect. The team ran up a 25-0 record through league and tournament play and captured the provincial AAA basketball championship with a 49-23 victory over Beausejour’s Edward Schreyer School in March. “Going 25-0 meant quite a bit because every year there is a provincial champion, Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman (back left) and Deputy Mayor Markus Chambers but most people can’t even remember congratulated CSNC’s JV basketball team for their achievements. the last time a AAA team went undefeated,” says Fatima I., one of the squad’s co-captains along with Hannah O. and Mercy L. The perfect season propelled them into the spotlight. They met Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman, Deputy Mayor Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River), Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister, St. Norbert MLA Jon Reyes and provincial sports minister Cathy Cox. “They all said such nice things about our accomplishments and our school,” Mercy says. “It was also cool to see all the tweets and shout-outs on social media from people all over the province.” The squad was guided by assistant coaches Lisa Hocking and Quinn Morris and head coach Raffaele Borelli, who has coached basketball for 25 years. He says he’s had strong girls and boys teams at every level, but none have gone undefeated or won a provincial title. He attributes this team’s success to avoiding major injuries and illnesses, staying out of foul trouble in games, some luck and a passion for the sport.

  • Roel Orteza Badge #1565, Retired
    Roel Orteza Badge #1565, retired Researched & written by John Burchill with Roel Orteza The Philippines is a country of about 7,640 islands in Southeast Asia. It is situated in the western Pacific Ocean, sharing maritime borders with Taiwan to the north, Japan to the northeast, Indonesia to the south, Malaysia and Brunei to the southwest, Vietnam to the west, and China to the northwest. With a population of nearly 110 million people, it is the world's twelfth most populous country. For more than 300 years the Philippines was a Spanish colonial possession, which was ceded to the United States in 1898 as a result of the Spanish–American War. An ensuing Philippine– American War for independence (1899–1902) ended with the United States establishing control over the Philippines, which they maintained until the Japanese invasion during World War II. Following liberation, the Philippines became one of the founding members of the United Nations and was recognized as an independent nation in 1946. On February 1, 1988, Roel Orteza started his 32-year career with the Winnipeg Police. He was the first Filipino officer to don the uniform (which was a light blue at the time). To understand the significance of Roel’s appointment, one must realize that there were only a few hundred Filipinos in Manitoba by the mid-1960s. The first wave of Filipino migration to Manitoba did not begin until the 1950s when a number of Filipino nurses arrived in Winnipeg from Minneapolis to work at the Misericordia General Hospital. While they could speak English as a result of their colonial relationship with the United States, many still experienced discrimination based on the colour of their skin and other physical traits due to the federal immigration system then in place.

This is our annual back- to-school issue, so we thought we’d go for a lighter-hearted, upbeat cover story. This is also the second time we’ve had a dog on the cover of our paper in my tenure, which is a neat fact, but that doesn’t mean that we’re shy- ing away from harder stories or ignoring some of the more troubling realities of life in our city. In this issue, we’re covering conversations Black Space Winnipeg hosted in late August about racism and white supremacy. We’re looking back at lessons learned from anti-panhandling campaigns run by the Downtown BIZ. And we’re discussing the importance of designated acces- sible parking spots, and why they’re so vital to Winnipeggers who use them. Our staff and volunteer contributors for this issue have also explored some of the creative ways ideas and tools are shared throughout our city.
