Code of Conduct

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

The 05C50 Online welcomes participants from all over the world, including people from underrepresented backgrounds. As such, the organizers are committed to creating a learning environment that is free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, and that is welcoming and safe to all participants regardless of SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics), race, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, religious or spiritual belief, age, disability status, and marital status.

The organizers of 05C50 Online maintains an environment that upholds the rights and dignity of others. For this reason, all participants are expected to adhere to the PIMS Code of Conduct. We expect everyone to conduct themselves in a responsible manner so as not to cause, condone or participate in the discrimination, harassment or prejudice of another person or group of persons. In particular, participants are expected to not engage in exclusionary behaviour, insults, intimidation, threats, any form of discrimination, or any form of harassment.

Consequence of non-compliance

Participants who violate the Code of Conduct are subject to actions depending on the severity of the violation, which include warning from the organizers and either temporary or permanent removal from the seminar.
