The BRACE Project Team extends their appreciation to the 1,001 practitioners in Manitoba who responded to their online survey which was undertaken as part of their engagement and training/tool needs assessment process. Funded by Manitoba Conservation and Climate's Climate Resiliency Training Project, the team will utilize the survey responses to further define training and tool development priorities. Look for courses and tools to be piloted in the summer and a full offering beginning this fall. For more information on the survey findings and the BRACE program, see the news story.
