Western Training Solutions - Digital Accessibility Compliance

Just a reminder for industry professionals in Manitoba: several key deadlines are approaching. As of May 1, 2024, all government offices are required to begin implementing accessibility standards as outlined in both federal and provincial legislation.

Happy 2026

By Christina Bower-Arsenault • January 6, 2026
Let The Work of 2026 Begin How can it already be January 6th?! I was wa rned when I was wee (little) that as I got older that time has a way of speeding up! Boy! Were they right! Here we are in the first full work week of 2026 and it already feels like an out of control locomotive!! What are your goals for 2026? Not ones to actually buy into "New Years Resolutions" - we at Western Training Solutions usually look at what we see as trending or up and coming in the world of end-user technology to prepare and be ahead of the curve! This year, as last year proved - we are concentrating on AI - in particular - Copilot (Microsoft's version of Generative AI) Look out for new " Power Hour " sessions on using Copilot with M365 and what it can do, and what it can't! As always, Western Training Solutions has your backs. We're doing the work, so you don't have to. We look forward to seeing you in classes / sessions in 2026. Here's to Success for All in 2026 from Your Friends at Western Training Solutions

H appy H alloween from WesternTS Friendly Reminders for Parents of Younger Children: Don't let your children get too far ahead of you while out trick-or-treating Using glow sticks to brighten up their costumes is useful Putting glow sticks in their plastic treat pumpkins help keep them easy to locate Remind the children that no candy or drinks get eaten before they are inspected at home Using personal trackers on your kids is perfectly acceptable in high traffic areas where you could lose them in the crowd! Enjoy the evening everyone. Stay safe! and if you're like we are at Western Training Solutions....we will be enjoying the Blue Jays playing their game tonight as well as enjoying handing out treats to the kids both young and older!! Afterall, is anyone too old to get a candy on Halloween? We don't think so. ~Happy Fight Night to one and all!~
