Katherine Morrisseau-Sinclair and the Lake Winnipeg Water Walk has been recognized as the 2014 Champion for Sustainability.

Meegwetch to the Manitoba Round Table for Sustainable Development and the Department of Conservation and Water Stewardship for this award.

As of November 30, 2014, there were 135 Drinking Water Advisories in effect in 91 First Nation communities across Canada, (excluding British Columbia). Many for more than 10 years, including the community of Shoal Lake.

We think of these people today as Winnipeg is hit by a boil water advisory and remember that our brief inconvenience is the ongoing struggle for so many.

While we weren’t looking we reached over 1,000 likes. Boozhoo to our new friends and welcome. Hope we can share more information with you all soon! Xoxo
