RRC Polytech and MITT Transition Update – March 13, 2026

March 13, 2026

RRC Polytech and Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology (MITT) continue to work collaboratively to coordinate the transition of select programs and operations, with a student-centred focus to ensure current students can successfully complete their programs.   

It has now been confirmed that RRC Polytech will permanently operate MITT’s Henlow Bay and Fultz Boulevard buildings to establish an RRC Polytech South Winnipeg Campus. This will ensure these facilities continue to serve learners and the broader community. RRC Polytech and MITT will also work together to ensure the continued operation of the Pembina Highway building during the transition period and preservation of the daycare on site.  

RRC Polytech will preserve and deliver high school vocational programming, in partnership with school divisions, recognizing the critical importance of early exposure to skilled trades, emerging technologies, and experiential learning.   

These programs give students valuable opportunities to explore different career paths, build confidence, and move smoothly into postsecondary education or the workforce. Our goal is not only to maintain this work, but to continue growing our partnerships with school divisions and expand access to high quality vocational programming for high school students across the province.

RRC Polytech and MITT continue to work collaboratively through a comprehensive program review and expect to have results of that review available in the coming weeks. Information continues to be provided as it becomes available at rrc.ca/mitt 

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
