Water stewardship and Manitoba K to 12 curricula

LWF is currently working to identify and vet existing resources to determine their usefulness to local educators, using the Lake Winnipeg Health Plan and the Manitoba curricula as guiding criteria. We will be updating this page as capacity allows with links to these resources, plus other options for deepened student engagement. Stay tuned and check back soon!

Lake Winnipeg resource guides: Created by Manitoba Education and Training’s Education for Sustainable Development department, these documents provide information about Lake Winnipeg and create opportunities to explore the complexity of issues associated with its health.

Resources for Rethinking: Created by Learning for a Sustainable Future, this free, online database of relevant, peer-reviewed curriculum resources relating to education for sustainable development is easily searchable by jurisdiction, grade level, subject and theme.

For music educators

Music creates new opportunities for students to learn about our great lake. Rise and Shine, Lake Winnipeg, is an original song co-written by Rod Palson and Lorne Martin, residents of Riverton and Husavik, Manitoba, respectively. We are pleased to offer choral score of this song at no cost to music educators and choral directors.
