Join your fellow CPRS Manitoba members for a wrap-up of the past year’s activities, and a preview of the plans for coming year!

In 2009, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy launched a $200 million redevelopment plan to revitalize Assiniboine Park and Zoo. Join us as the Conservancy’s Lorne Perrin provides an overview of the management/development model for Assiniboine Park and Zoo, an update on the capital campaign and a progress report on completed projects as well as upcoming initiatives that will bring a new face to the park.

The student board members of CPRS Manitoba have organized a free networking event to be held at the Winnipeg Free Press News Cafe on Friday, April 13, 2012. All Red River College and University of Winnipeg Public Relations students are invited, along with CPRS Manitoba members and friends!

Government and Social Media: Excelling in Citizen Engagement.
Guest speaker: City of Regina’s Philippe Leclerc

A patient a day. That’s how often it is estimated that someone dies in a Winnipeg hospital following an adverse event. How do you communicate these issues to patients, family, the public, media and internal audiences? Learn how Heidi Graham, the WRHA’s Director of Media Relations, handles the above at CPRS MB’s January luncheon.

Liz Peters will discuss why earned media and third-party relationships are so important for advocacy groups such as CAA, using the organization’s recent awareness program Back to School Safety Assessment and Texting and Driving 101, as an example.

The Winnipeg Free Press has returned to the city’s historic Exchange District — this time serving itself up as a café. Join Free Press Deputy Editor Online, John White as he talks about the genesis, objectives and goals of the café, and gives us a taste of the future.
