Last year, the Province of Manitoba
introduced legislation that will allow the testing of automated vehicles on
provincial roads. Testing on public roads will be permitted through a new
regulation and a technology testing permit issued by the Minister of
Infrastructure with eligibility requirements and conditions to maintain road
safety. In addition to consulting with stakeholders, the Province is seeking
public feedback on vehicle technology testing on Manitoba roads via their
online portal. To review the engagement presentation and take part in the
survey, please see EngageMB's
website.
Feedback will be accepted until Tuesday, September 14, 2021.
The Women in
Engineering and Geoscience Mentorship Program, which follows the upcoming
academic year, groups engineering or geoscience students with an intern (EIT or
GIT) and a licensed professional member to engage in a formal mentoring
relationship. This unique program provides participants with opportunities to
network with other engineers and geoscientists, hone their mentorship skills,
and ultimately create a community of women in engineering and geoscience in
Manitoba. An optional information session will be held on September 10, 2021
from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. via Zoom for those interested in learning more about
expectations from participants. To learn more about the Women in Engineering
and Geoscience Mentorship Program, please see our
