Manitobans head to the polls on Oct. 3 – and we are encouraging lake-lovers to speak up for the health of Lake Winnipeg.

Remind your provincial candidates:

  • Excess phosphorus is causing harmful algal blooms on Lake Winnipeg.
  • For almost two decades, phosphorus pollution from Winnipeg’s north end sewage treatment plant has exceeded the provincial licence limit.
  • Continued delays in achieving phosphorus compliance are costing Manitobans hundreds of millions of dollars.
