What is Outreach?
Outreach is the foundation of almost everything we do at CPAWS. As our mission states, we advocate for the effective, long-term protection of ecologically and culturally significant land, freshwater, and ocean areas in Canada. However, we can only do this with the support and signatures of Manitobans that care.
