Calendar of Events
	2010 IVMA-Man/Sask Tour and Seminar -- Sept. 8 & Sept 9, 2010 - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Message from the President - 2010

Welcome to the official website of the Integrated Vegetation Management Association for Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Although the website is relatively new it is one of our avenues of communicating and disseminating information with respect vegetation management to all of our members.  

I am very excited to become the Associations sixteenth president and to continue to work with a very dedicated and diverse group of Board members. The board currently contains industry experts, government entities and Conservation organizations all with a common interest of integrated vegetation management.  

The association is not only committed to ensure that its members are constantly updated on industry’s current methods of vegetation management but have made extra efforts to incorporate an Integrated theme in its mandate. We are hoping that by recognizing this change we can continue to draw from our base of industry experts and welcome new members that can widen our industry knowledge.  

We have a number of very exciting projects that we will be pursuing in the next several years. This includes continuing to develop our website as a conduit of information to/from our members, allocating bursaries for students that are presently pursuing an education related to vegetation management, and maintaining an interesting and educational annual tour and Seminar. The IVMA Man/Sask has also recognized a value in pursuing communications with other associations with like interests with the result of increasing our strength as an association through these affiliations.  

This Association’s efforts would not be possible if not for the continued support of our sponsors and members and for that we thank you. I look forward to meeting you at our annual tour and Seminar!  

Sincerely,  

Robin Hamilton
President
IVMA Man/Sask
