Concerned citizens for Lake Winnipeg can still make financial donations for their 2024 income tax return until the end of February.
The Lake Winnipeg Foundation is membership-based environmental charity dedicated to advocating for change and coordinating action to improve the health of Lake Winnipeg.
The local foundation was founded in 2005 by concerned citizens who believed in making a difference, this belief continues to drive its efforts today.
The LWF combines the dedication of its grassroots membership with the expertise of its science advisors. This unique collaboration has earned us national recognition for effectively linking science with action. We are committed to advancing evidence-based solutions specifically targeting phosphorus loading, which is the primary cause of harmful algal blooms in Lake Winnipeg.
Our goal is to ensure that policies and practices informed by evidence are not only implemented but also enforced. Together with our members, we are determined to create meaningful change.
Strategic efforts:
Community-Based Monitoring: mobilize citizens to monitor phosphorus levels, helping pinpoint and address critical hotspots around the lake.
Advocacy for Policy Change: Persistent advocacy efforts have helped bring about significant changes in local and national environmental policies, aiming for sustainable water management practices.
Partnership with Indigenous Communities: Working closely with the Lake Winnipeg Indigenous Collective to integrate traditional knowledge into strategies for water stewardship.
