CHRC has been busy running around the country delivering in-person presentations and meeting with interns, employers, partners and collaborators. If you haven’t caught all of the trips, follow us on social media, you’ll know when we’re heading your way! We have some new team members that I’d like to introduce... Administrators Nicola Schneider and Marwa Alibakhiet are giving us a hand with the Student Work Placement program and Birane Wane is our new Communications Officer. Welcome to all three of you! In this newsletter: we still have funds available for the Student Work Placement program, the Young Canada Works is for applications, we are launching our new IDEA roundtables, we’re still delivering The Art of Managing Your Career presentations. Be on the lookout for another announcement as we’re setting the schedule to launch a series of Respectful Workplaces presentations in 2024. We suggest you renew your membership earlier than later to best benefit from this upcoming offer… Kind regards, Grégoire Grégoire Gagnon, D. Mus., MPA & MBA

A celebrated Board Member… |
The Winnipeg Tourism Awards of Distinction allow Winnipeg’s tourism industry to recognize those people, places, organizations, and events that have gone above and beyond to offer a superior tourism experience to travelers in Winnipeg. This year, the award was attributed to Barbra and Clarence Nepinak who have devoted themselves to the cause. This link leads to a touching testimonial video on the Winnipeg Tourism Award. Oh, and let’s not forget…Barbara Nepinak is also a recipient of a recent UNESCO award. On behalf of everyone at CHRC, congratulations Barb! We are proud and humbled to have you among us. |
