A Living Landscape - Lake Winnipeg and Manitoba's boreal forest define our province

Abstract

Lake Winnipeg and the boreal forest that surrounds it are part of an interconnected natural life-support system that operates for the mutual ecological benefit of all of its parts. Humans have a place within this system, too. Whether we live on the lake’s shores, in a Northern community, in a large urban centre or on a farm, Manitoba’s waters, forests and wetlands influence our shared cultures, contribute to our shared economy and better our society’s shared health. We are all connected.
