Manitoba bioscience businesses may soon hear more from their Belgian counterparts.
Bioscience Association Manitoba signed a memorandum of understanding to work more closely with BioWin, a health innovation cluster in Belgium, and Quebec association BIOQuébec.
The trio say they’ll organize business introductions, trade delegations and at least one joint event annually.
They announced the deal during BIO-Europe 2026 in Cologne, Germany.
Bioscience Association Manitoba counts more than 200 member companies. The Belgium and Quebec entities have roughly 370 and 240 members, respectively.
Wawanesa to try new
resilience funding model
The Wawanesa Mutual Insurance Co. is testing a new model to fund restoration and resilience work. It will provide funding for restoration at the Wolastoq watershed, also known as the Saint John River, based on independently measured river levels.
WWF-Canada could receive up to $1 million annually for the next three years, Wawanesa announced Monday.
The watershed spans nearly 700 kilometres from Quebec to the Bay of Fundy. It’s been a major flood site for decades. More than a half-million people live nearby.
Wawanesa and WWF-Canada will evaluate the program to see if the funding model should be replicated.
