Workshop Goal:

The goal of these workshops is to increase public knowledge of environmental impact assessment and to understand the community’s reform priorities. We are seeking to gather a diverse range of views from both urban and rural Manitoba.

What's Going to Happen at the Workshops?

During the first part of the workshop, participants will hear presentations from the project team about the current state of impact assessment in Manitoba. Interactive polling tools will be used (i.e., Mentimeter) to help identify priorities and gather feedback. In the second part of the workshop, participants will be placed in a small group with 5-6 other participants. Each group will have a facilitator and a note-taker. Participants will be asked a variety of basic questions to gather insights on how they think impact assessment should be done in Manitoba. Participation in the workshops is voluntary, questions can be skipped and participants can end participation at any time.

Background Materials

As part of our Empowering Impact Assessment project the Manitoba Eco-Network, in collaboration with the Public Interest Law Centre and the University of Winnipeg, is pleased to release a series of fact sheets on environmental impact assessment for a series of public workshops on environmental impact assessment across Manitoba. These fact sheets will also serve as useful reference materials for the public, including academic and community researchers. The facts sheets below are not required reading for participating in the workshops, but they are available for participants that wish to engage further and learn more.
