FULL DISCLOSURE: The opening to tonight s briefing is strictly promotional in nature as it comes with a personal invite/nudge to join our virtual townhall on Thursday at 11 a.m. CST.
We ve assembled a panel of experts to discuss Manitoba s pandemic experience and to take questions from our readers. With the extension of the Code Red restrictions just announced along with today s news of the imminent arrival of the vaccine in Manitoba, I can t think of a better time for us to look at what went wrong in our province with COVID-19 and how we can make it right.
At one level, Thursday s discussion is a natural extension of the conversations I ve had with many of you over the past months based on what you ve read in this newsletter. I m looking forward to hosting that conversation and then sharing with you some takeaways in Thursday s edition of this newsletter.
