Posted: March 12, 2025
Presenting to the Standing Policy Committee on Water, Waste and Environment, we express our concern over the 80% cost increase for biological nutrient removal facilities at Winnipeg's North End Water Pollution Control Centre (NEWPCC).

Provincial joint brief for the Premier of Manitoba on effective management of algal blooms

Posted: March 25, 2023
Jointly with the International Institute for Sustainable Development, we review the evidence supporting a focus on phosphorus to address algal blooms on Lake Winnipeg.

We urge the Manitoba government to make use of the best-available evidence to implement and enforce clear phosphorus-reduction policies for point and non-point sources.
