Protecting the Interlake
About
Our goal is to protect the health of the Interlake's thriving natural landscape so it can continue to provide sustainable economic opportunities and support our cherished lifestyles and cultures.
This initiative is led by Fisher River Cree Nation in partnership with Peguis First Nation and the Manitoba chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society. The initiative has the support of the province of Manitoba and the government of Canada.
Why here, Why Now?
The Fisher Bay Region is a wonderfully natural place of forests, wetlands, and sandy shorelines. See why we're working to protect it in this overview video.
Region
Just a couple hours north of Winnipeg lies the beautiful south eastern Interlake region. The lands and waters that make up this area are a wonderfully wild place—a boreal region of forests, wetlands, and sandy shorelines lining inlets and islands.
