A new educational tool will be tested by hundreds of Manitoba families this winter. The ToyBox project, created by UWinnipeg’s Sheri-Lynn Skwarchuk, is an at-home tool that provides families with numeracy, literacy, and wellness tips to share with their children. This is a project to help meet the needs of our community, Skwarchuk said. These are tips that you can take with your own resources, during your own time, and use them in the best way that you feel will be helpful for your children.

UWinnipeg alumna Taylor Wilson has published a research paper looking into the decolonization of Canada’s Food Guide. The project, which was developed with Dr. Shailesh Shukla during her master’s studies, was in response to the latest guide launched in 2019 that promised to be inclusive of multicultural diets and diverse perspectives on food, including the food systems of Indigenous communities. Our research supports Indigenous-led and community-based resurgence and decolonization of food guides, she said. We propose to design and pilot-test a personalized Indigenous food guide in the Fisher River Cree Nation, as a community-based case study to demonstrate its impact.

Yams, walks, and socks. These are just a few of Molly’s favourite things. This beautiful six-year-old shepherd mix was a rescue from the Winnipeg Humane Society via Stacy Fosters Dogs. If Molly had one superpower, it would be turning everyday objects into socks and then liberating them, one pair at a time, from their fate with human feet. Yes, she loves socks that much! #TeachersPetTuesday Asked what she thinks of her human, Molly said: I think I’ve been adopted by a nerd, but that’s fine. : Dr. Angela Failler (Women’s and Gender Studies) and Molly
