Our values guide our decision-making and inform the plans we develop to achieve our goals.

Continuous learning: We know we don’t know everything. We commit to learning and listening so that we can adapt our approaches using new skills, knowledge and perspectives. We aim for excellence.

Tenacity: We are in this for the long haul. We commit to persistently and fearlessly advancing credible solutions for Lake Winnipeg, in spite of barriers or opposition that may arise.

Accountability: We stand behind the decisions we make and the actions we take. We commit to holding ourselves to account for achieving our goals, as we do others for theirs.

Evidence-based: We recognize both science and Indigenous knowledge as valuable evidence. We commit to doing our research to ensure the solutions we present are credible and defensible.

Solutions-focused: Pointing out problems is not enough. We commit to putting forward proactive, productive and constructive solutions in response to long-term, chronic problems. 

Integrity: We acknowledge the pressures – financial and otherwise – impacting the charitable sector. We commit to acting with honesty and trustworthiness. Our commitment to our mission is incorruptible.
