Panel Discussion

AI, Public Trust, and the Future of Communication Management in Manitoba

Two powerhouse RRC Polytech graduates, Rose Regier (Creative Communications, 2015) and Liz Cron (Creative Communications, 2013) – both at Blueprint Inc., – will join fellow panelist Matt Dirks, Managing Partner at Neralake, and moderator Mary Agnes Welch, Principal at Probe Research, for a scintillating panel discussion exploring how AI is transforming the communications landscape in Manitoba and beyond.

New research from Probe Research highlights significant public concerns about AI adoption, including fears about job loss, uncertainty about safeguards, and questions about whether the technology truly benefits society. At the same time, recent research conducted by RRC Polytech and Blueprint Inc. suggests communications professionals are increasingly using generative AI in their work—often without clear policies, training, or ethical guidance.

The panel will examine the growing gap between public skepticism and professional adoption, and the critical role communicators play in ensuring transparency, accountability, and trust in an AI-enabled environment.

Alumni, staff, and students are all welcome – register now.

This free virtual event will take place on Thursday, April 23 at 1:00 p.m. CT.

Turn your job interview into a job offer thanks to practical tips for success with a career expert. For newcomers and international students, the Canadian interview requires a blend of digital fluency and bold self-advocacy. Join Tazrian Alam, Director of Enterprise Risk at RBC, for an interactive Office Hour on mastering the modern interview.

From technical Zoom setups to projecting authority in an in person interview, you will learn how to transition from just another candidate to a top-tier professional. Tazrian will share her 10-year journey as an immigrant rising through the ranks at RBC, giving you the tools to command any room – physical or virtual – and land your dream role.

In this dynamic session, you’ll:

• Explore the challenges and opportunities in today’s job interview landscape through the lived experience of someone who’s been there

You’re invited! In partnership with Ten Thousand Coffees, we’re excited to offer a virtual ‘Office Hour’ to RRC Polytech alumni, students, and staff with an industry expert who will share valuable insights on imposter syndrome for newcomers and international students. This free virtual event will take place on Thursday, March 26 at 1:00 p.m. CT.

Moving to a new country is a bold leap, but the transition into the Canadian workforce often brings a quiet voice of doubt. Many newcomers experience Imposter Syndrome – the feeling that their success is due to luck rather than skill, or a fear that they aren’t qualified enough for the roles they want. If you’ve ever hesitated to apply for a job because of your accent or your international background, this session is for you.

In this interactive Office Hour, you’ll learn from Sadaf Virji, a seasoned educator and speaker who understands the journey of building a new life in Canada. Arriving as an international student in 2002, Sadaf began her Canadian career as a campus tele-fundraiser before rising through the ranks of world-class organizations, including Ten Thousand Coffees, RBC, and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Today, as a Professor at Humber Polytechnic and a career coach for BIPOC women, Sadaf specializes in preparing international students for their dream careers. Having navigated the path from newcomer to Canadian citizenship, Sadaf blends her professional expertise in client success and event planning with her lived experience of overcoming the “imposter” label. 

In this dynamic session, you’ll:

• Identify the self-limiting stories we tell ourselves – like “my English isn’t good enough” or “my international experience doesn’t count here” – and learn the psychological tools to interrupt and retrain those thoughts.
• Discover confidence strategies: the practical boldness required to get hired in Canada and how to project belief and confidence in yourself
• Gain valuable tools at your fingertips: specific tactics for using the RRC Polytech Café (our networking hub) and LinkedIn to build a professional support system that works for you and your goals

Whether you’re just starting out, looking for new opportunities, or shifting your career, RRC Polytech alumni at any stage of their career journeys are warmly invited to attend this dynamic talk.

More than a decade ago, CreativeMornings was launched out of a desire for ongoing, accessible events for creative communities to connect. Today, these communities gather in 247 cities across more than 60 countries — including right here in Winnipeg.

Founded five years ago, the Winnipeg chapter of CreativeMornings not only celebrates our city’s creative talent, but also promotes an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. From marketing legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. CreativeMornings Winnipeg has also been host to many powerhouse RRC Polytech alumni, providing a platform for homegrown artists, creators, and innovators to share their insights, struggles, and successes.

March’s theme is LOCAL: the feeling of loving a city but sometimes feeling limited by it—that is Local. Chosen by the CreativeMornings chapter in Santos, Brazil, LOCAL is about exploring community, identity, and roots.

On March 20th, Carly, who graduated from RRC Polytech’s Creative Communications program in 2006, will explore what it really means to invest in the place you call home. Her work at CentrePort Canada sits at the intersection of economic growth, community well-being, and long-term local impact — and her story is a reminder that meaningful change takes doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a bold vision, hard work, and a community of people.

In this talk, Carly will share how creative thinking can unlock local opportunity: building partnerships across sectors, creating pathways for people and businesses to thrive, and shaping development that strengthens both the economy and the social fabric of Winnipeg. She’ll reflect on what it takes to lead with intention, stay rooted in community, and build a 20,000 acre inland port that directly benefits the people who live nearby.

This is a conversation about building local — and finding creative pathways to drive development, foster resilience and grow Manitoba’s economy.

Join CreativeMornings Winnipeg on March 20 at The Forks Event Space for an inspiring morning!

Date: Friday, March 20, 2026
Time: 8 – 9:45 a.m. *Doors open at 8 a.m. for breakfast and networking

On Friday, January 30, CreativeMornings Winnipeg is celebrating five years! Join founders Christine Watson and Christian Robin as they reflect on how they launched a free, creative community in the middle of a pandemic and how it’s grown since then – despite the odds! All RRC Polytech alumni and community members are warmly invited to attend.

More than a decade ago, CreativeMornings was launched out of a desire for ongoing, accessible events for creative communities to connect. Today, these communities gather in 247 cities across more than 60 countries — including right here in Winnipeg.

Founded five years ago, the Winnipeg chapter of CreativeMornings not only celebrates our city’s creative talent, but also promotes an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. From marketing legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme. CreativeMornings Winnipeg has also been host to many powerhouse RRC Polytech alumni, providing a platform for homegrown artists, creators, and innovators to share their insights, struggles, and successes.

January’s theme is KOORSOO (faint glimmer of hope): chosen by the Tehran chapter of CreativeMornings, Koorsoo inspires us to keep going during times of challenge, despair, and darkness. “In our darkest hours, when everything seems to have dimmed, sometimes a light remains—not bright, not certain, but real. That is Koorsoo—a faint glimmer of hope that dares to survive. Koorsoo is not about triumph or clarity; it is about the fragile yet unwavering light that keeps us going. A glance, a memory, a word—small things that prevent collapse. It represents the quiet resilience of those who continue in spite of the weight, who believe without guarantee. In a world that often normalizes despair, Koorsoo is a rebellion—soft, but profound. It reminds us: even the smallest spark matters.”

On January 30th, Christine and Christian will trace the improbable, quietly radical origin story of CreativeMornings Winnipeg: how a small group of passionate people were stubborn enough to believe that creativity thrives everywhere and to trust the process (and each other) to create moments of beautiful connection, The founders will describe how they invested in possibility rather than prediction and how a small spark lit by “what if” conversations grew into a vibrant community that now shows up—month after month—to celebrate ideas, make connections, and champion each other’s work.

The story of the building of CreativeMornings Winnipeg and the celebration of the community’s 5th birthday is a reminder that building community is an act of courage, that belonging often begins as a whisper, and that even the smallest glimmer of hope can illuminate an entire movement.

On Friday, December 19, RRC Polytech grad Joelle Foster will be the headliner at CreativeMornings Winnipeg’s free event taking place at Launch Co-Working (Exchange District – 5th floor, 167 Lombard Street). All RRC Polytech alumni and community members are invited to attend!

More than a decade ago, CreativeMornings was launched out of a desire for ongoing, accessible events for creative communities to connect. Today, these communities gather in 247 cities across more than 60 countries — including right here in Winnipeg.

The Winnipeg chapter of CreativeMornings not only celebrates our city’s creative talent, but also promotes an open space to connect with like-minded individuals. From marketing legends to hometown heroes, speakers are selected by each chapter based on a global theme.

December’s theme is INNOVATION: innovation is risky and rebellious. It means breaking the routine and reimagining the familiar. It treats uncertainty as an invitation instead of a barrier. Innovation doesn’t take a genius, it just requires curiosity and willingness to try. And try again. The world needs more tinkerers, experimenters, and fixers. People who believe change is possible and start with whatever they have. Then don’t stop until they’ve made something new or better.

Innovation in Manitoba is driven and supported in large part by the work of Joelle Foster, who is co-founder and President/CEO of North Forge. Joelle has more than two decades of experience supporting entrepreneurs across Canada. She co-founded the Women’s Equity Lab (WEL) MB to increase the number of women angel investors and developed North Forge’s four-stage digital Founders Program, driving a 300% growth in tech-enabled and advanced manufacturing companies in Manitoba. Joelle also established the Angel Network (2021), Global Entrepreneur Initiative (2023), and Women in Innovation Lab (WiLab, 2023). Under her leadership, North Forge won two Diversity and Inclusion awards in 2024.

Celebrating a Distinguished Grad

The RRC Polytech Distinguished Graduate Award recognizes the outstanding personal and professional achievements of RRC Polytech’s most accomplished alumni.

This year’s recipient is Electronic Engineering Technology graduate Tessa Potter, who completed her studies in 2000. Since then, she’s worked as a Broadcast Technician in television, radio, and live sports – a behind-the-camera role that has allowed her to travel the globe to work on world-class events like the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. She has received two Emmy awards for her work broadcasting the Olympics, one for the Beijing Winter Games (2022), and one for the Paris Summer Games (2024). She is heading to Italy next February for her fourth Olympic Games.

Here in Winnipeg, Potter works as Truth North Sports + Entertainment’s Broadcast Liaison, serving home and visiting broadcast teams. She is also a Broadcast Technician for SBL Engineering, where she monitors and maintains transmitters for radio and television clients in Manitoba, and is a subject matter expert for complex radio frequency issues and repairs.

Potter is a phenomenal advocate for the field of broadcast engineering, focusing much of her spare time on mentoring and inspiring students. She’s the current (and first female) president of WABE, the Western Association of Broadcast Engineers, where she not only advocates for the industry, but also for women and diversity in the sector. One of her main goals as president of WABE has been to promote the industry and the career opportunities it provides to current and prospective students. Through her work at True North Sports + Entertainment, she mentors students and interns who cycle through the broadcasting department, helping them find their footing and – hopefully – a passion for this work.

Potter shared words of inspiration with RRC Polytech’s graduating class of 2022 at Spring Convocation as the alumni guest speaker, describing her education at RRC Polytech as the following: “My diploma in Electronic Engineering Technology at RRC Polytech was like a cypher. A tool that over the years has allowed me to decode a whole industry. Whatever flavour of the industry I uncovered – broadcasting, media technology, or live sports – would not have been possible without the lens of my education helping to bring it into focus.”

We are thrilled to honour Potter’s leadership in broadcast engineering at Homecoming. RRC Polytech alumni and supporters are warmly invited to attend.

Thank you to our generous supporters

September’s theme is BLOSSOM: every blossom is an act of becoming. The quiet force of roots pushing through the dark, the slow unfurling of a bud, a sudden burst of color. But plants don’t blossom on command. Each flower requires the right amount of sunlight, water, and nourishment across the cycle of the seasons. To truly blossom, you must take the risk of opening up. This is your season. You deserve to be seen. Offer your abundance of color and creativity to the world! 

A graduate of RRC Polytech’s Creative Communications program (2016), Tedi is a content creator celebrated for her Manitoba thrifting expertise, playful personality, and dynamic creativity. By day, she works as a content marketing specialist for a multi-billion-dollar company, and by night, she’s a creative photographer behind billboard campaigns, a videographer, and an editor passionate about storytelling-driven video content. Over the past year, she learned how to create her own path – in life and in work – and in this talk, she’ll share her story of growth and resilience.
