Ocean Week starts today, and so does Ron’s Hudson Bay Coast Challenge!

Over the next 100 days, Ron Thiessen, Executive Director of CPAWS Manitoba, will walk and bike the equivalent length of Manitoba’s coastline along Hudson Bay, an impressive 675 kilometres.

Today, Ron kicked things off with a 10.8 km ride. Along the way, he’ll be helping shine a spotlight on Manitoba’s ocean coast, the wildlife that depends on it, and the importance of protecting Hudson Bay for future generations.

Follow along as we track his progress and celebrate Ocean Week.

As the land shifts with flowers beginning to bloom and streams thawing with Spring runoff, we’re reflecting on our time at the Five Nations Gathering for Kitaskeenan Kaweekanawaynitamuk - Our Land We Want to Take Care Of.

The four-day gathering was held at the Fox Lake Culture Camp last fall, and it was filled with moments of joy, laughter, heartfelt emotions, inspiring words, Traditional Knowledge and ceremonies, music, singing, dancing and the sharing of delicious food.

At a time when climate change, wildfires, industrial pressures, and biodiversity loss continue to reshape our province, gatherings like this remind us that conservation is more than protecting our ecosystems. It is about supporting Indigenous sovereignty, strengthening relationships to the land, and supporting the communities leading the future of stewardship on their ancestral land.

🐾 Ever spot paw prints in the snow and wonder who passed through? Meet the Canada lynx, a quiet hunter of the north.

With oversized paws and thick fur, the lynx is built for deep snow and life in the boreal forest. It moves silently through landscapes like the Hudson Bay Lowlands, where forests, wetlands, and tundra meet, creating critical habitat for species like the lynx and its main prey, the snowshoe hare.

Protecting the Lowlands means protecting the balance of this ecosystem and the wildlife that depends on it. 🌿
