Correction - ProDev Program Targets Modified for 2021
The Continuing Competency Committee agreed to modify the targets of the ProDev program for the 2021 calendar year. Last week's News Notice indicated the overall target number of hours for practitioners will be reduced to 215 for any reporting period that includes the 2021 calendar year. This was an error and the hours are instead going to be reduced to 225. For more details, see the news story.
2021 By-law Proposals
After engagement with membership through open engagement sessions and third-party focus groups, review by the By-law Review Committee, drafting by legal counsel, and further member engagement, Council has approved the list of by-law proposals for 2021. Learn more about the proposed changes in the news story.

Volunteer Opportunities
Engineers-in-Residence Program - Multiple Positions
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba has partnered with Engineers of Tomorrow to pilot their Engineer-in-Residence (EIR) program here in Manitoba for the 2021-2022 school year. Engineers will be matched with a classroom in the province to support STEM curriculum with experiential learning, real-world examples, and hands-on engaging engineering activities on a monthly basis.
Professional engineers, interns, or engineering students who enjoy working and sharing their experiences with youth are encouraged to apply. As there are many French immersion and Francophone schools in the province, volunteers who are fluent in French are encouraged to apply. For more information about this opportunity, please see the call for volunteers or the news story.
