This land means a lot to the people around here, it’s where we grew up and where we raise our children and grandchildren.

We’ve heard your feedback and your questions about what this initiative means for you and your communities.

This conservation areas initiative:

1. Will not affect your private or leased property, farmland, and/or cottages 🏡
2. Will protect the area from any new large scale industrial developments🏗️
3. Will not impact licensed hunting, fishing, trapping, or other activities like medicine gathering🎣

We began this initiative because we know we are not the only people who see the deep value of these lands and waters. We can all come together as neighbours to protect this region.

The goal of this Conservation Areas Initiative is simple: protect the Interlake 🌾

Why? Because without planning for the future, the Interlake could be overdeveloped - piece by piece - until there are no natural areas left.

We want to ensure the lands and waters of the Fisher Bay region are protected for future generations. We want to protect nature, endangered species, and water health while encouraging sustainable economic growth and continued access to licensed hunting, fishing, and trapping.

The 3 Nations of Fisher River Cree Nation, Peguis First Nation, and Jackhead First Nation - 268 decided one thing:

Continue to protect our lands and waters for the benefit of our communities, our neighbours, and future generations 🤝
