This year marks an exciting new beginning for LWF, as we launch our 2023-2027 strategic plan!

Our new plan was collaboratively developed by LWF board and staff as part of an in-depth, two-year process.

Returning for another year on Friday, Aug. 11, this fundraising group ride will challenge cyclists to pedal from Winnipeg to Victoria Beach in support of a healthy Lake Winnipeg.

Please join us in supporting these determined cyclists in their efforts!
