Dear LWF supporter, 

 

Summer has arrived in Manitoba – and, thanks to your support, our team is keeping very busy, advocating for change and coordinating on-the-ground action to protect Lake Winnipeg, all while continuing to navigate a dynamic public health situation.

Extra! Extra! 

 

The latest edition of our newsletter, The Watershed Observer, is out! 

  

In the Spring & Summer 2021 issue, we explain how community-based monitoring can be leveraged to complete the data-to-impact cycle, reflect on the legacy of limnological legend David Schindler, and share details about the Lake Winnipeg Indigenous Collective’s new website and podcast series – plus more! 

 

Lucky stones for Lake Winnipeg 

 

Winnipeg jewelry designer Johanna Brierley has launched a new collection in support of a healthy lake! The 10 made-to-order pieces in the JBJD + LWF Collection were created using “lucky stones” from the beaches of Lake Winnipeg, discovered and generously donated by local lake-lovers. 

 

All proceeds from the limited-time collection are being donated to LWF.  Purchase your piece today at johannabrierley.com.
