Manigotagan River Photo Gallery

The Manigotagan River begins in Ontario. It crosses the Manitoba border where it proceeds to flow through Nopiming and Manigotagan River provincial parks until it empties its nourishing waters into Lake Winnipeg. CPAWS Manitoba Executive Director Ron Thiessen's trip with the Manitoba Eco-Network began about 10 kilometers west of the Manitoba/Ontario border.

In August 2006, CPAWS Manitoba Executive Director Ron Thiessen joined the Manitoba Eco-Network on one of its trips along the Manigotagan River. Ron's trip was in support of the Eco-Network's Manigotagan River Web-Based GIS Project that’s designed to create online resources and a published map dedicated to knowledgeable and responsible tourism on the river. It's all part of CPAWS efforts to put conservation and communities first in the huge boreal forests on the east side of Lake Winnipeg.

“Father of North American Boreal Ecology” has Passed On

After a long life rich with achievements, Professor William O. Pruitt Jr., Senior Scholar in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba, passed away on December 7, 2009.

He is greatly missed.

The list of Dr. Pruitt’s accomplishments is vast. His research and passion for teaching has been profoundly important in our understanding of boreal ecology. His tireless service to protect the boreal forests and its critters is truly inspiring. Dr. Pruitt was so helpful to CPAWS and so many others with his teachings and insights about woodland caribou.
