We loved seeing all the creative entries for the #ProtectPolarBears Colouring Contest. Thanks so much to everyone who entered.

An outstanding First Nations campaign in Manitoba that’s now on the cusp of creating one of the largest Indigenous protected areas in the country had a modest beginning—as a conversation with CPAWS Manitoba about how to save caribou.

Looking for an easy and family-friendly hike close to Winnipeg? Cedar Bog is perfect! The Bird’s Hill trail is a great hike for families, people who are new to hiking, and experienced outdoorsy types looking for a simple trip in the woods. 

Always wanted to explore the desert, but didn’t want to take the trip? Did you know we have the next best thing right here in Manitoba!

CPAWS Manitoba hosted a press conference in September 2022 to discuss protecting Assiniboine Forest as a national urban park.

The trail near the Pinawa suspension bridge has plenty of Precambrian rock to climb but a gentler slope than you’ll find in the Whiteshell.

La Barrière Park Loop, 15 minutes from Winnipeg, is nearly three kilometres and takes around 60 minutes to complete.

Assiniboine Forest would be an outstanding choice as a national park within Winnipeg.

The critical importance of parks and protected areas has been reinforced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

CPAWS Manitoba wishes to congratulate long-time partner in conservation Chief David Crate of Fisher River Cree Nation, who was recently inducted in the Order of Canada for his vision and leadership.
