2022: A year in review.

The time has come once again to flip the calendar to the next year. It’s a special occasion; closing a chapter on whatever has happened and turning our gaze to a new page.

As arbitrary as the Gregorian calendar can feel at times, it’s also an excuse for a fresh start – which we all need from time to time. This sense of renewal keeps us motivated, as working with ourselves is an ongoing process. It is our sincere hope that the education we offer – freely, and in our courses and services – is both timeless and of this moment.

At Mediation Services, we’ve been busy developing a lot of new content this past year; continuing to embrace technology and how it can support us in our lives and livelihoods. Let’s take a moment to look back at all that has come to fruition.

Year 2022 in review:

• 1 monthly newsletter: a way for us to keep in touch by sharing who we are, offering continuing education, and updating you on the work we’re doing in the local and online community.
• 12 new blog articles: we’ve put a lot of effort here into developing unique, timely, and useful information that’s freely available to all.
• 2 new on-demand webinars: available online when you need them, you can now enrol in Covid Conversations and Dealing with Defensiveness to explore these important topics at your own pace.
• Resuming operations out of our office in Winnipeg after a Covid pause: providing third-party mediation, in-person training, and more. We’re here when you need us, as we have been for over 40 years!

And there’s more where that came from. On all of these fronts, we have big plans to continue forward – including the much anticipated online webinar for Building a Respectful Workplace. We’re excited to share these tools with you and hope you are too.

Thank you for joining us in whatever way you did in 2022. We are passionate about what we do, but we couldn’t do it without you. If you have a heart for it, we invite you to consider making a donation to Mediation Services Winnipeg. You can donate either once or monthly and, as we are a registered charity, tax receipts are available for all donations. Any amount helps and is greatly appreciated.

Wishing you all the best in the coming year and beyond.
