Mainpro+ Minute

Thank you to everyone who participated in our April eNews poll where we asked, Have you completed a Linking Learning exercise to earn credits in the last three (3) years?  We learned that many who responded to our poll have not used Linking Learning as a way to earn Mainpro+ credits. As Linking Learning exercises are a valuable way of generating additional certified credits for every-day learning, we encourage you to explore the opportunity. Take some time to listen to this short video on how to complete a linking learning exercise, Critical Thinking and Reflection, presented by Dr. Mike Allan.

All participants in our Linking Learning poll were entered to receive a $25 gourmet coffee card, and five lucky winners were randomly drawn. Congratulations to our April Winners!! Dr. Mhairi Mitchell (Calgary) Dr. Rabiya Jalil (Calgary) Dr. Gurpreet Radhra (Calgary) Dr. Kerryn Lee Roberge (Calgary) Dr. Alan Young (Strathmore)
