RRC Polytech statement on the recent attack at the University of Waterloo

June 30, 2023

Content warning: this message contains information about gender-based violence

At RRC Polytech we are deeply saddened by the news of the recent attack during a gender studies class at the University of Waterloo, which left three people injured and is believed to be hate-motivated.

RRC Polytech does not condone and has a zero-tolerance policy for any expression of hate on our campuses. On our campuses – and across all post-secondary institutions – everyone deserves to feel physically and psychologically safe, regardless of their sexuality, gender identity or gender expression.

Pride month is a time to celebrate the diversity of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and foster respect, understanding and advocacy so that everyone feels and is safe on our campuses and in the community at large. This incident at the University of Waterloo illustrates why it is critical that we continue to embed equity, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do, providing opportunities for learning and to take action against hate not just in June but every single day.

We stand in solidarity with students and faculty at the University of Waterloo and their families and loved ones, who have been injured and impacted by the incident. Our thoughts are with you during this immeasurably difficult and heart-breaking time – our hopes are that those injured and impacted seek the care and supports they need to recover and return to their studies soon.

If you have been impacted by this news, we encourage you to access the supports available to you through the College and the community:

Canada Life supports new mentorship program for Indigenous learners

June 29, 2023

Canada Life has announced a $500,000 investment to help create a new Indigenous-led student mentorship program at RRC Polytech. The initiative will be offered across all College programs and campuses, providing support and guidance to Indigenous learners as they navigate post-secondary experiences and into the early weeks of employment.

“Canada Life is proud to support RRC Polytech’s new mentorship program for Indigenous learners,” says Brian Bowman, Vice-President, Sustainability and Social Impact at the organization. “Education opens doors, but the end-to-end student journey isn’t always an easy one, and this new program will help Indigenous learners achieve their goals.”

With Canada Life’s support, RRC Polytech will be able to build the right conditions to support Indigenous student success and strengthen business and economic partnerships with Indigenous communities.

“We’re grateful to Canada Life for this transformative gift and their continued commitment to education in Manitoba,” says Fred Meier, RRC Polytech’s President and CEO. “For aspiring Indigenous students, this program will help instil confidence, cultivate connections on campus, and foster a two-way, mutually beneficial learning experience between students and employers. We’re building the program to do more than just help shape futures. It will help shape lives — one student at a time.”

Tracy Brant, Associate Dean for the College’s School of Indigenous Education, says Indigenous culture will be central to how RRC Polytech builds the program.

“This mentorship program will ensure Indigenous learners have more opportunities to connect with experienced industry professionals and expand their networks by building strong relationships with mentors and other mentees along their academic journeys,” says Brant.

“In turn, mentors will also benefit from engaging with and learning from professionals who are entering their field with new experience and perspectives. Helping to facilitate these potentially lifelong connections provides students with the tools they need to make the impacts they want to see in their communities and beyond. The additional support of dedicated mentors in the fields they want to pursue will encourage success in their academics and eventual careers.”

RRC Polytech will work to develop and deliver training to mentors, and as part of the program, mentees will have an opportunity to give back, as after graduation they can act as a mentor to a successive cohort of Indigenous learners.

It’s expected the new program will launch early next year. RRC Polytech is actively developing the program and resources required to ensure it can welcome as many students into the program as possible.

PRICE FAMILY FOUNDATION’S HISTORIC GIFT FOR RRC POLYTECH OPENS NEW FRONTIER FOR CAREERS, COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH, AND GROWTH IN MANITOBA’S MANUFACTURING SECTOR

June 28, 2023

Price Family Foundation, Government of Canada and Province of Manitoba partner with Red River College Polytechnic on Institute dedicated to advancing global competitiveness of Manitoba manufacturers

June 28, 2023, Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty No. 1 Territory and the Homeland of the Red River Métis

It began as a conversation between Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytech) and Dr. Gerry Price, Chairman & CEO, Price Industries Limited, in spring of 2021. RRC Polytech has long been a leader in talent development and innovation, and regularly consults with industry partners for advice on where each sector is heading. In this conversation, Dr. Price asked the question: how can we work together to advance the sector?

The journey to the answer – spanning two years of deep conversations with industry, government, and other stakeholders – sets the stage for today’s announcement of the Price Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics.

Anchored by a $10 million gift from the Price Family Foundation – the largest in RRC Polytech’s history – the Price Institute is supported with more than $3 million from the Government of Canada and $4.86 million from the Province for capital, program development, as well as ongoing operating costs. In support of RRC Polytech’s In Front of What’s Ahead comprehensive campaign, these three gifts bring the campaign closer to its $60 million goal, with a current total of $51.5 million raised to date.

Today’s $17.86 million investment in the Price Institute will allow RRC Polytech to bridge critical skills and labour gaps in the sector, spur applied research activities within the sector’s many small-to medium-enterprise (SME) employers and foster an innovation ecosystem where industry-education partnerships shift the technologies disrupting the sector from threats to opportunities.

“As Manitoba’s polytechnic, RRC Polytech is strongly positioned to partner with stakeholders and help usher in a new era of opportunity for one of Manitoba’s most-valued economic sectors,” says Fred Meier, RRC Polytech President and CEO. “We are expanding training opportunities and applied research in manufacturing, and it is only possible because of the vision and the commitment of Dr. Gerry Price and the Price Family Foundation, as well as the support of the Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba.”

The Manitoba chapter of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) recently reported that it had 2,130 job vacancies in the third quarter of 2022, citing a shortage of advanced skills that are not currently being trained in the Province. The Price Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics will directly respond to the skills shortage by training new workers, as well as upskilling and reskilling existing workers.

Scheduled for a phased launch beginning in Fall 2023, the Institute features a range of new programs and firsts for RRC Polytech, including:

  • Two, post-graduate diplomas (one in advanced manufacturing, one in mechatronics) that boost the annual graduate output of RRC’s engineering technology programs by 150 per cent.
  • A project space to drive innovation and technology transfer in automation and manufacturing for SMEs and facilitate student-led research activities.
  • Flexible, micro-credentialing options to upskill and reskill up to 1,000 employees each year, including Western Canada’s first offering of the internationally recognized and accredited Siemens Mechatronics Systems Certification Program (Levels I and II), which kickstarts phase one of the Institute launch this fall.
  • Manitoba’s first Applied Research Chair in Advanced Manufacturing.

The transformational gift from the Price Family Foundation continues their legacy of student-focused support at RRC Polytech. Ahead of today’s announcement, Dr. Price and Barb Price also renewed the Price Scholarships at RRC Polytech for another five years – removing a critical barrier many students pursuing education in engineering technology-focused fields face.

“No matter the enterprise, the foundation of Manitoba’s success – past, present, and future – is its people,” says Dr. Gerry Price, Chairman and CEO, Price Industries Limited. “The more you create access to education opportunities, the more you empower the innovator that dwells within us all. This is an investment in Manitoba’s future learners and future leaders, which will have lasting benefits for generations to come.”

With donor support poised to remove barriers to education for generations of students, the Government of Canada’s $3 million investment supported by Prairies Economic Development Canada (PrairiesCan) will be used to prepare the space for students and to develop and deliver curriculum over the next three years.

“Investments in training and skills development will ensure Manitoba remains a leader in advanced manufacturing and will inspire the next generation of the workforce. Our government recognizes the importance of strengthening key clusters and industry priorities starting with training and education. This funding from PrairiesCan will assist in the development of critical workforce skills through the Price Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics,” says The Honourable Dan Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan and Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface-Saint Vital

The Province focused its investment on funding capital, start-up, and development costs related to the Institute’s academic program, as well as its ongoing operating costs.

 “As we work to integrate more and more digital technologies into manufacturing products and processes, there’s a complementary need for highly-trained and skilled workers to ensure the sector’s success,” says the Honourable Sarah Guillemard, Minister of Advanced Education and Training for the Province of Manitoba. “The Manitoba government is pleased to provide ongoing support for Red River College Polytechnic’s new Price Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics to deliver the sophisticated training needed by Manitoba’s manufacturing workforce.”

The Province’s $4.86 million investment will support emerging technology, training for students, and provides RRC Polytech with increased capacity to train industry 4.0 professionals.

“Manufacturing is integral to Manitoba’s economy, with 7,900 job openings expected over the next five years,” says the Honourable Jeff Wharton, Minister of Economic Development, Investment and Trade for the Province of Manitoba. “Equipping workers with the skills for these in-demand jobs will ensure a steady workforce to keep pace with our economic growth, and allow manufacturers to adopt the technologies essential to building and sustaining their businesses.”

Headquartered in the Skilled Trades and Technology Centre at RRC Polytech’s Notre Dame Campus, the Institute will leverage the College’s wealth of teaching and research expertise, as well as the more than $35 million of cutting-edge equipment housed within its Smart Factory and Technology Access Centre for Aerospace and Manufacturing (TACAM).

College’s Language Training Centre becomes Centre for Newcomer Integration, supported by BMO

Winnipeg, Manitoba on Treaty No. 1 Territory and the Homeland of the Red River Métis Nation – BMO has generously donated $300,000 to support Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytech)’s Language Training Centre (LTC) to become the Centre for Newcomer Integration, supported by BMO (The Centre).
 
The Centre builds on LTC’s strong foundation and successful reputation. The new funding will allow staff to explore new opportunities to engage stakeholders, expand partnerships, and align support services based on client needs.
 
“BMO’s recognition of the positive impact that RRC Polytech is making in the settlement sector and their eagerness to invest in our ability to help prepare newcomers both linguistically and culturally to contribute quickly to Manitoba’s economy is a source of tremendous pride – and a demonstration of the power of partnership,” said Fred Meier, President and CEO, RRC Polytech.
 
“This generous gift will allow us to build on the success of our language training programs and better coordinate with our partners and stakeholders to ease the transition into Manitoba’s communities and workplaces for newcomers.”
 
With a priority of opening doors through strategic community engagement, The Centre offers a variety of services to help newcomers successfully settle and contribute to Manitoba’s communities and workplaces through language and communication training, employment preparation services, and support services such as community building events, short-term counseling, and referrals to partner organizations. This work will evolve as additional partnerships with stakeholders are established.
 
“BMO is committed to making progress for a thriving economy, sustainable and inclusive society,” said Kristen Kennedy, Regional Vice President, Personal Banking, Prairies Central Region, BMO. “RRC Polytech’s Centre for Newcomer Integration will provide newcomers to Canada with valuable resources to help them find employment opportunities and achieve real financial progress.”
 
The LTC at Manitou a bi Bii daziigae, in Winnipeg’s Exchange District, assists over 2,500 students every year to build English language skills, cultural communication, and academic skills to further their education, training, and employment goals.

“Thank you to BMO for supporting students on journeys similar to mine. I’m a newcomer from Ukraine and I can say from myself and from other newcomers who attended these courses how important it is to have this support and a comfortable place to learn,” says Valeriia Bielous, student at RRC Polytech’s Language Training Centre.

“You can get help not only with learning English but with making adjustments to a culture and to a new workplace. It was an amazing experience for me during the studying process where we learned a lot about Canadian society, and during my volunteer work placement at the Manitoba Construction Sector Council where I’m happy to be working currently.”

RRC Polytech is committed to collaborations that provide opportunities for Manitobans to strengthen our province. BMO’s investment in the College’s In Front of What’s Ahead Campaign is an excellent example of a partnership that amplifies the College’s impact, deepens our relationship with industry, and supports long-term student success.

“By working together, we are setting everyone up for success,” added Meier. “The Centre for Newcomer Integration supported by BMO will remove barriers and provide access to the resources newcomers need to build a bright and promising future right here in Manitoba.”

National Indigenous Peoples Day – June 21

June 21, 2023

The following message was sent to All Staff and All Students today on behalf of RRC Polytech President and CEO, Fred Meier.

June is National Indigenous History Month and today, June 21, is the summer solstice: the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. June 21 was proclaimed National Indigenous Peoples Day in 1996 after continuous support from the National Indian Brotherhood (Assembly of First Nations), the Sacred Assembly and Elijah Harper, and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.

Indigenous communities around Turtle Island gather every year to celebrate the summer solstice with ceremony and celebration and to recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day. Many organizations and communities host events proudly showcasing the many vibrant Indigenous cultures from dawn until dusk.

This year, RRC Polytech kicked off Indigenous History Month with the raising of the Red River Métis Flag, the Treaty One Flag, and RRC Polytech’s original Pride Flag. In years past, we’ve hosted our own event to recognize the summer solstice and Indigenous Peoples Day, but this year the School of Indigenous Education has a new venture—the Indigenous Student Support Team has organized a bus tour with Elder-in-Residence Paul Guimond around Winnipeg and surrounding areas to experience a variety of events to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Though it’s felt like summer for a few weeks already, I encourage you to ring in the new season by visiting any number of events hosted by Indigenous folks around the city and beyond. Many events can be found on the Government of Canada’s website with the search term ‘Manitoba.’ The Forks is hosting the Wa-Say Healing Centre Pow Wow followed by musical performances; the Manitoba Métis Federation is hosting a celebration at Selkirk’s Memorial Hall; WAG-Qaumajuq is hosting an art education event and evening concerts on Memorial Boulevard; and in Brandon there will be a celebration at the Riverbank Discovery Centre.

Thank you, and please enjoy a beautiful National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Parking Updates at NDC for Fall 2023

June 9, 2023

In fall of 2022, the Zone Permit program was introduced at Notre Dame Campus. Over the last year, we’ve collected data, taken feedback, reviewed zones and pain points, and are excited to announce several improvements that will come into effect on September 1, 2023.

Here’s a quick summary of changes:

  • Designating specific lots for daily parking;
  • Designating specific lots for permit holders;
  • Creating an additional zone: North, West, Central (Staff Only), and South;
  • Renaming the lots for easier navigation; and
  • Updating the process for electric vehicle and accessible spots.

Daily and guest parking

Each zone, aside from Central, will have designated daily parking areas for those who purchase daily or hourly parking. Angood Road (updated name: South 3) Northeast (updated name: North 1) and West 1 will be designated guest and daily parking areas. Please see map below for specifics.

Permit holder only lots

Each zone will have dedicated permit holder only lots. Only those with an active permit for that zone will be able to park within those lots. Daily and guest parkers will be required to park in the designated Daily areas on campus.

Additional zone

An additional zone has been added, and there are now four zones to select from. The South lot (updated name: South 1) and East lot (updated name: South 2) will now fall under the South zone. All lot names will be updated to align with the new zones and make it easier to navigate around campus. Maps will be posted online and across campus beginning August 1, 2023. Please see map below for specifics.

Staff-only zone

The new Central parking zone will now become a staff-only permit zone due to its layout and stall configuration. All other zones will remain shared between staff and students. The South and East lots will no longer be a part of the Central zone as they will fall under the new South zone. 

Updated process for electric vehicle and accessible spots

All parkers who drive an electric vehicle (EV) and wish to charge while onsite will be required to purchase either a power permit or daily/hourly parking pass. Electric vehicle parkers will then be able to charge in any available EV stall regardless of zone. Once your charge is complete, you will be required to move back into a spot within your permit zone to support all EV parkers.

All permit holders who require permanent accessible parking will be asked to reach out to Commuting and Parking Office directly to begin the registration process. All temporary requests should be directed Lori Walkow in Accessibility Services.

As the parking program evolves, we want to ensure our commitment to not oversell any permits or zones. If you have any questions, please contact parking@rrc.ca and we’ll be happy to help you!
