April 17 - 23 marks National Volunteer Appreciation Week, and Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba would like to take this time to thank our volunteers for their hard work and dedication. This year's national volunteer appreciation campaign slogan is "Volunteering Is Empathy In Action, Volunteers Bring Heart To Canada's Communities". Thank you to our volunteers who either sit on Council, committees, task groups, chapters, and/or assist with our special events, we are grateful for your contribution to the Association. Your empathy, compassion, and generosity create connected communities and builds a stronger Manitoba! For information about National Volunteer Week, please visit their website for more details.

The Association will be hosting a series of in-person lunch 'n' learn sessions this May and June, offering attendees the opportunity to build on the knowledge they have gained from completing the online learning modules and providing a forum for group discussion. The first session on Wednesday, May 4, will explore the topic of professionalism, and will be followed by sessions in June on the Code of Ethics and good character. For more information on this series, including the optional lunch add on, please visit the event listing.
