Phosphorus data for the Central Assiniboine Watershed District were generated by the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN), a long-term program designed to identify localized phosphorus hotspots where action is required to improve Lake Winnipeg water quality.

Phosphorus data for the Assiniboine West Watershed District were generated by the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network (LWCBMN), a long-term program designed to identify localized phosphorus hotspots where action is required to improve Lake Winnipeg water quality.

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.

Our Year Three report card reviews progress since 2020, and highlights urgent next steps the federal government must take to protect and restore Lake Winnipeg’s water quality and ecosystem health, and to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Regional reports are created after each field season of the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network to provide a detailed look at site-specific data collected from each sampling region.

Phosphorus data generated by the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network supports evidence-based decision-making. We are committed to sharing data in an open, accessible way.
