Lake Winnipeg: A Lake in Danger

This past Wednesday we all enjoyed a presenation about Lake Winnipeg. Selena instructed us about the Lake Winnipeg Watershed and how different environmental issues threaten it's health. Among many things, we discussed how various types of water run-off contribute the quality of water in the system. We can all play our part by being responsible for the water leaving our own property.  Avoiding the use of toxic chemicals in our drains, using water catchement techniques and having healthy soils that will absorb precipitation all contribute to preventing polluted run-off from reaching our lake.

Thank you Selena for such an informative presenation about Lake Winnipeg!
