Paddle for Protection
Sunday, September 22, 2024
Bird River, MB
Join the Wilderness Committee on World Rivers Day as we paddle and tell stories of the river, the risks, and the future of this wild waterway. The lower Bird River, in Sagkeeng First Nation territory, is once again at risk from mining activity and mineral exploration. We need to put protections in place for all of our waterways and preserving the lower Bird River according to the wishes of Sagkeeng First Nation is a step forward in that work. Come experience the wild beauty of the intact nature along the lower Bird, it’s the best way to become an advocate for its continued protection.
Visit Bird River Paddle for Proetection 2024 for more information and to register.
