More than 20 Manitobans have completed a new training program designed to bridge the gap between construction and cutting-edge technology.
The Manitoba Construction Sector Council and New Media Manitoba celebrated on Friday the first cohort of its LiDAR and extended reality (called xR) training program.
Held Nov. 19-21 at New Media Manitoba’s StudioLab xR training centre in Winnipeg, the course offered hands-on training in light detection and ranging drones, which use laser sensors to create 3D maps of terrain, structures and construction sites, as well as extended reality workflows such as creating virtual environments from real-world data.
The program addresses the skills gap in Manitoba’s construction and technology sectors, according to a news release. It aims to create a pipeline of tech-savvy professionals to alleviate skilled labour shortages and support future projects.
The Province of Manitoba has allocated $219,000 annually for the three-year program, which is in its second year.
Registration for the next LiDAR and xR training session in January is now open.
New owner at Bistro Dansk
Bistro Dansk, the Winnipeg eatery that has served Danish and Eastern European cuisine for nearly 50 years, has a new owner and chef.
Previous owners Paul and Pamela Vocadlo announced on social media last week they sold the business to Grant Danyluk. Danyluk was previously a chef at Confusion Corner Drinks and Food and Prairie’s Edge in Kildonan Park.
“From the moment we met him, we knew he shared the same passion and respect for this little restaurant that has meant everything to us,” wrote the Vocadlos, who bought the Sherbrook Street restaurant in 1989.
“We will remain in the background for a little while, helping with the transition and ensuring everything flows smoothly.”
The Vocadlos listed the business for sale this past summer and told the Free Press in July they planned to retire and spend more time with family.
Danyluk expressed his enthusiasm for his new venture on his Instagram page.
“Very honoured to continue the legacy that Paul and Pamela have built over the last 37 years and excited to begin this new chapter,” he wrote on Nov. 10.
