Hey there, time traveller!

The province announced on Friday that it is providing 35 Manitoba schools with over $1.4 million in technology upgrades funding, with $45,475.18 from that amount being set aside for Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School.
This money will be used to purchase UV and direct printer technology for Crocus’ graphic design program, according to a Brandon School Division official.
According to a corresponding news release from the province, at least seven other Westman schools will benefit from this $1.4 million in funding. These schools include:
• Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute ($49,244.67, metalwork technology program)
• Dauphin Regional Comprehensive Secondary School ($75,392.29, automotive technology program)
• Winnipegosis Collegiate Institute ($31,546.73, automotive technology program)
• Major Pratt School ($26,172.61, metalwork technology program)
• Pilot Mound Collegiate Institute ($90,317.02, woodwork technology program)
• Glenella School ($8,896.19, automotive technology program)
• Ste. Rose School ($65,869.04, design drafting program)
Friday’s news release also specified that this $1.4 million is being provided through the province’s Skills Strategy Equipment Enhancement Fund, which is designed to help school divisions purchase equipment for technical vocational and industrial arts programs to ensure alignment with apprenticeship and industry standards.
“These grants provide young Manitobans with the skills, talent and knowledge necessary for living, learning and working in a competitive global economy,” Education Minister Wayne Ewasko said in this news release.
“I want to thank our school divisions for their continued co-operation and collaboration as we work together to enhance technical vocational and industrial arts education in Manitoba.”
