Submission on Manitoba’s Water Strategy Action Plan
Posted:
Manitoba Environment and Climate solicited public feedback to inform the development of a water strategy action plan. Our submission highlights the valuable data generated by the Lake Winnipeg Community-Based Monitoring Network, a long-term water-monitoring program designed to identify phosphorus hotspots within the larger Lake Winnipeg watershed. We also raise significant concerns about Manitoba’s water strategy framework, which fails to include Indigenous peoples, lacks a transparent governance structure for water decision-making and continues to ignore the best available evidence for the management of freshwater eutrophication.
