LWF has written to provincial environment minister Mike Moyes, asking that he direct Manitoba's Clean Environment Commission (CEC) to review the environmental sustainability of the hog industry.

Chelsea Lobson, LWF’s Programs Director, reflects on how the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network came to be and how it has changed over time.

2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWBMN). In celebration of the excellent work of our community volunteers, we will be highlighting ten volunteers over the course of this tenth field season.

Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN) gathered together to learn about network activities, explore how LWCBMN data are being used, and understand the importance of focusing on phosphorus to address Lake Winnipeg’s algal blooms.

Regional reports from the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN)’s 2023 field seasons have now been released!

We’re excited to have caught up on pandemic-related delays with the release of regional reports from the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN)’s 2020 and 2021 field seasons!

After reviewing our data and consulting with our science advisors, we have removed water samples collected at hydroelectric generating stations from our dataset. We continue to work with our partners to generate credible, useful phosphorus data.

Water protection isn’t easy – it’s important. Our Year Three report card reviews progress made by the federal government on recommendations first presented by LWF and the Lake Winnipeg Indigenous Collective in 2020.

Phosphorus data shared in series of reports released today are providing valuable information to protect Lake Winnipeg by identifying hotspots where research, resources and action must be focused.

Get involved with local water sampling efforts this field season!
