Greetings and welcome to the October E-Newsletter! Calendars are coming! Watch our website in the coming weeks for the addition of two new calendars. A meeting & events calendar
link will be available from our home page. This calendar will
list Manitoba based events from the newsletter and will contain links
to the events' website. Provincial meetings will also be
included. It is hoped that this information will help people know
what is happening and who may be where, when. A funding deadlines calendar link will be added to the funding page and will give posted deadlines and links for funding opportunities. Thanks to everyone who submitted content for this month's newsletter. The success of our newsletter depends on the contributions of people and organisations throughout
