Featured Project

Lake Winnipeg is a cherished place for activities like fishing, paddle boarding and canoeing. But right now, the lake is in a precarious position due to pollution, toxic blooms of algae and invasive species. If these challenges aren’t addressed quickly, the future of the world’s tenth largest lake is in peril.

Governments and environmental organizations are coming together to tackle these issues, but right now a key piece is missing — the voices of local First Nations. First Nations have lived on this lake for millennia and continue to rely on it for their way of life.  These voices are essential to saving the lake.

CIER is working with the Lake Winnipeg Foundation to host a Gathering for First Nations where they can identify priority areas of interest and concern, as well as ways of staying connected with each other and informed about existing initiatives around Lake Winnipeg. Learn more.
