Lake Winnipeg Foundation Projects

Founded in 2005 as a volunteer coalition of concerned lake-lovers, LWF today is emerging as a leading organization working collaboratively with non-profit, academic, industry and government sectors and the public to restore and protect our great lake.

In 2012, LWF established our Science Advisory Council (SAC), a group of leading freshwater experts whose research guides our organization's work.

The Lake Winnipeg Foundation recognizes the importance of collaboration. To help realize our vision, LWF has provided funding to various organizations offering programs that support a healthy Lake Winnipeg. Learn more about some of these projects by visiting our Grant Recipients page.

LWF's efforts are focused on research, public education, stewardship and collaboration.

For example:

- LWF partners with other organizations and groups to educate citizens, push for evidence-based policy, and encourage innovation and excellence in water stewardship.
- LWF provides subsidies for school field trips.
- LWF offers presentations to schools and community groups.

成立于2005年的湖泊爱好者志愿联盟，今日的湖泊保护基金会（LWF）正崛起为一家引领性的组织，与非营利机构、学术、产业和政府部门以及公众携手合作，致力于恢复和保护我们伟大的湖泊。2012年，LWF成立了科学顾问委员会（SAC），该委员会汇聚了一批领先的淡水专家，其研究成果指导着本组织的各项工作。湖泊保护基金会认识到合作的重要性。为了实现我们的愿景，LWF为提供支持健康五大湖（Lake Winnipeg）项目的各类组织提供了资金支持。您可以通过访问我们的资助接受者页面了解更多关于这些项目的信息。## **今日与明日**湖泊保护基金会的努力集中在研究、公众教育、管理责任和合作上。例如：- LWF领导了五大湖健康计划，该计划确定了八项关键行动，旨在解决有害藻华的根本原因。- LWF与其他组织和团体合作，教育公民，推动基于证据的政策，并鼓励在水资源管理方面的创新和卓越。- LWF为学校实地考察提供补贴。- LWF为学校和社区团体提供展示。
