BRANDON, MB — A new agreement between Brandon University (BU) and Assiniboine Community College (ACC) will open the door for students to transfer credits directly from their completed Licensed Practical Nursing program at ACC to BU’s Bachelor of Nursing program in the Faculty of Health Studies. The recent approval of a new block-transfer-credit for Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) graduates from Assiniboine Community College paved the way for this new partnership.
Rural communities across Manitoba active in age-friendly initiatives were featured in an exchange of practice, policy, and research.
Forty eight leaders from eighteen countries around the world met for three days in Winnipeg to agree on initial pathways involving rural and remote communities to become more age friendly, promote intergenerational activities, engage seniors and encourage seniors to involve others of all ages in transforming places.
