We were there; were you?

The MERLIN team was definitely busy last school year but we wouldn't have had it any other way!

The 26/27 school year has not yet began but our team is already prepping to hit the road for our first on-site PD event on September 9th.

Will we see you this year?

MERLIN’s work is closely connected to the people and teams across Manitoba’s public service who help make technology work for Manitobans.

Today, we’re highlighting the Department of Innovation and New Technology (MINT), the branch of government where MERLIN is currently located. MINT works to help Manitobans and businesses make the most of new technology, while supporting the modernization of government services, security, and networks across the province.

For MERLIN, that connection means being part of a broader team focused on collaboration, innovation, and keeping the technology that Manitobans rely on working together.

We’re proud to be part of that work. 💻

It is a good thing we support high-speed internet... because someone has to keep all these tabs loaded!

It is Week 7 of MERLIN's 8 Week Cybersecurity Challenge - Backup Strategy Review

A successful backup isn't just one that runs—it's one that can be restored when you need it. Focus on:
• Backup schedules
• Recovery procedures
• Retention policies
• Off-site or immutable storage

We know that people are at the heart of education, and technology works best when it supports the people using it.

Today we're highlighting the Manitoba Association of School Superintendents (MASS), a MERLIN partner and an important part of Manitoba's education community.

The work of school leaders helps shape the environments where technology, learning, and people come together every day. From supporting staff and students to responding to the changing needs of education, strong leadership is an important part of keeping the whole system moving forward.

We're glad to work alongside organizations like MASS that help strengthen Manitoba's education community.

What if your personality had a font?

We asked AI to match each member of the MERLIN team with a font based on their overall vibe. Some of the choices felt spot on… while others might be up for debate. 😄

Take a look through and let us know: Which one do you think was the best match?
