How research is playing a role in nation-building projects like Port of Churchill

We're excited to bring you another episode of the Manitoba Inc. Podcast with Eleanor Coopsammy and Geoff Kirbyson. The Port of Churchill is being touted as a potentially unprecedented economic engine for northern Manitoba, and Canada, that can grow alongside the area's tourism industry. In this episode we speak to Mario Pinto, Vice President - Research and International at the University of Manitoba about the research that needs to be an important part of nation-building projects like the Port of Churchill. It can protect the investments of the federal and provincial governments, and more critically, it's an investment in people. In this episode, we also provide an update to a recent story on the U-Turn Parkinson's, a non-profit Manitoba organization that provides tools, classes and resources for people living with Parkinson's and their families, free of charge.  The Manitoba Inc. podcast is your essential source for stories, information, and opinions affecting the business community, featuring interviews with the leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries driving Manitoba's economy.
