The month of February is I Love To Read Month! Throughout this month our MCSC will be joining and supporting the celebration that is held every year to encourage the importance of reading, writing and literacy in the province of Manitoba!

A couple of pictures captured on Day 1 of our Be More Than a Bystander event hosted along with Manitoba Heavy Construction Association's WorkSafely program. Be More Than a Bystander is a three-day intensive training session delivered by the Ending Violence Association of BC which helps create inclusive workplace cultures by inspiring action and true leadership at all levels. The program was originally delivered by the BC Lions Football Club to break the silence on gender-based violence. @endingviolencebc
