Summer events: What’s new and how you can get involved
Summer looks a little different for everyone this year. To keep each other safe, our annual Walk for Water events won’t be happening. We’re going to miss seeing everyone, but we’ve got some exciting new initiatives taking place!
Here’s a look at what’s happening – and how you can get involved from the comfort of your own home:

Bike to the Beach
A new fundraiser hits the road on August 7, 2020! A group of cyclists are gearing up to ride from Winnipeg to Lake Winnipeg’s Victoria Beach in support of LWF and a healthy lake.
You can support the 2020 Bike to the Beach cyclists in two ways. Visit the Bike to the Beach 2020 online campaign to donate directly to the ride, or donate to a specific rider through their personal fundraising page. Have a message of encouragement? You can include it as part of your online donation!
By supporting any (or all!) of these summer events, you are part of a community of lake-lovers. Together, we are translating science into solutions for the health of our fresh water – now and for future generations.
Thank you for making a healthy Lake Winnipeg possible. We look forward to seeing you at the lake again soon!
