Important COVID-19 Guidelines and Measures

The MPS Board is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for everyone attending our Fall Workshop in Winnipeg on November 14, 2022. While MPS cannot guarantee that in-person attendees will not become infected with COVID-19, we are adopting preventative measures to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 at our workshop.

We understand that information about the measures being taken will be a factor in everyone’s individual decisions regarding attending virtually or in-person.

As the workshop is quickly approaching, we want to make sure people have adequate time to make an informed decision and take advantage of our early bird in person rates. For this reason, we are confirming the following as our minimum safety measures that all attendees can expect at our event. We must of course comply with any current local, provincial, and federal laws.

Mask Requirement

All in-person conference attendees will be required to wear a mask covering the nose and mouth in all conference meeting spaces and adjacent hallways and foyers throughout the workshop.

Attendees are permitted to remove their masks while actively eating or drinking.

PRESENTER

The presenter will not be required to wear a mask while presenting at the front of the room. Attendees, please be aware of this, and choose a seat in the room according to your comfort level.

Cancellation Policy

If you feel ill, test positive for COVID, or find that you’ve had close contact with someone who is sick just before the workshop, please contact us. We will change your registration from in-person to virtual and provide refunds for the difference in registration fees before November 7. You’ll still be able to participate virtually and not miss out, AND keep the community safe. If you need to cancel your in-person registration after final numbers have been provided to the hotel for meals on November 7, we will transfer the registration to virtual attendance and provide a refund of $40. Please contact [email protected].

The recording of the workshop will also be available online for 6 weeks following the workshop for all registrants.

Safety Materials
Hand sanitizer and replacement masks will be available in the conference meeting space.
