Presentations

Government and public awareness of the Manitoba Ombudsman's role and responsibilities is essential. To assist in achieving greater awareness and understanding, staff from our office are available to meet with government staff or public groups and organizations to discuss our role and responsibilities in greater detail.

For example, since 2008 our office has delivered training to Correctional Officer recruits as part of their regular training program through Manitoba Justice. A Correctional Officers Presentation is available for all Correctional Officers who have daily interaction with individuals incarcerated in provincial correctional centres. In 2011, office staff also engaged in outreach to Friendship Centres all around the province, delivering posters and brochures and meeting with staff. Ombudsman staff are also available for classroom presentations - see our Joining the Herd page for more information on school presentations.

To arrange a presentation, please contact Shelley Penziwol at 204-982-9135 (Winnipeg) or 1-800-665-0531 (toll free in Manitoba).
