MCRT
2020-2022
The Manitoba Climate Resilience Training (MCRT) Project was a joint undertaking of Natural Resources Canada and the Government of Manitoba. It aimed to create tailored approaches to integrate climate risk and opportunities into decision-making and planning within the Northern Business, Indigenous, Planning, and Infrastructure sectors in Manitoba. Through the project, they developed a comprehensive suite of training and capacity building modules that enhance climate knowledge and the uptake of tools and information that promote integrated engagement, networking, and hands-on learning opportunities. The MCRT Project ran from October 1, 2020 to March 31, 2022.
