U of M Centre for Human Rights Research:

"Next week, Nov. 5 at 11 am CST, join us for the next webinar in The Last Drop Water Researchers Speaker Series 💧 with panelists Aimée Craft (University of Ottawa), Linda Barrientos-Mendez (University of Denver), Deborah McGregor (Anishinabe, Whitefish River First Nation, Professor, University of Calgary), Anaís Roque (Duke University), and Sameer H. Shah (University of Washington). Swipe to learn more about our speakers ➡

Water and climate change are inextricably linked — extreme weather events are making water more scarce, more unpredictable, and more polluted. These impacts throughout the water cycle threaten all aspects of human relationships with water. Work at the intersection of water and climate justice is needed to understand how socio-cultural, political, and economic relationships at different scales serve to co-create and maintain injustices in diverse hydrosocial systems (i.e., transition to low-carbon futures using large-scale hydroelectricity generation requires assessment of water justice impacts)."

ESRI Canada:

" The Geo-Generalist Era: Where Spatial Meets Everything
Today’s geospatial thinkers are increasingly “geo-generalists”—individuals who apply spatial thinking across many disciplines. From public health to marketing, from climate science to logistics, GIS is becoming a core competency for professionals in a wide range of fields.

This year, we're celebrating the expanding influence of GIS and the professionals who bridge disciplines to solve complex, real-world challenges using spatial insight. It goes beyond a GIS person only working in the mapping department: now, GIS is supporting strategic thinking, empowering cities and communities, and taking our understanding of the world in new directions."

CPAWS MB:

About this event: 

We’ve hiked, learned, and explored together all summer—now it’s time to get cosy and creative indoors! Join us for our Nature Club Craft Workshops, a new monthly series hosted at the CPAWS Manitoba office. Connect with fellow nature lovers as we explore creative ways to celebrate the environment through hands-on, eco-friendly crafts. From junk journaling to upcycled art projects, you’ll learn how to turn everyday materials into something beautiful—while keeping sustainability in mind.

We’ll provide everything you need—just bring your imagination and love for nature.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just looking for a cozy, creative way to spend a winter evening, this club is for you. Share ideas, make new friends, and take home unique creations inspired by nature. 
Explore Junk Journaling:
Ever look at a ticket stub or a pretty piece of packaging and think, this is too good to toss? That’s the magic of junk journaling. Part scrapbook, part creative time capsule, it turns everyday “junk”—receipts, stickers, scraps, postcards—into artful pages filled with memories. Instead of buying piles of supplies, you simply gather the bits of life you already have. It’s eco-friendly, endlessly personal, and a whole new way to see the beauty in the things you usually overlook. Learn more here.

Sustainable Building Manitoba:
"Why don’t buildings perform as designed?
Even the most efficient plans can fall short once people move in. Controls drift. Schedules change. Real-world conditions introduce surprises that models can’t always predict. But digital tools are helping bridge that gap between design and reality—turning insight into better performance, comfort, and reliability.
Join us on November 19 at noon for Optimizing Building Performance with Digital Tools, a virtual Lunch & Learn hosted by Sustainable Building Manitoba.

Hear from industry experts:
 • @Brennan Laidlaw, Mikkelsen Coward
 • @Matt Froese, Crosier Kilgour
 • @Krista Wright, Bird Construction
They’ll share practical lessons from Manitoba projects on how analytics, commissioning, and digital twins are transforming how buildings operate long after occupancy.
📅 Wednesday, November 19
⏰ 12:00 PM
💻 Online via Zoom
🎟️ $20 General
Free for Super Sustaining & Student Members | 50% off for Sustaining Members"

Sustainability Network:

"Canada's ENGO sector is in its infancy in terms of promoting decolonization. In this session, the Sustainability Network and Gimiwan Consulting will present three case studies drawn from ENGOs attempting to implement decolonial strategies in their work. The case studies will unpack successes and failures with an eye towards promoting broad sector learning about what decolonization can look like in environmental justice work in Canada.

Case Study 1: Working Within the Constraints of Colonial Institutions: A key finding of this case study

Case Study 2: The Learning by Doing Model: Details a project where the resurgence of Indigenous law led to transformation change, and calls on ENGOs to begin the work of decolonization rather than endlessly learning about it.

Case Study 3: Advancing Decolonization as a National Organization: Explores the challenge that national ENGOs face when attempting to create place-based relationships with Indigenous communities.

NOTE: The three case studies will be shared live and emailed to all webinar registrants after the webinar.

This workshop is for environmental non-governmental organizations working in Canada, specifically those that engage Indigenous nations in some way."
