In late 2007, the Government of Manitoba made a decision not to proceed with the construction of a High Voltage Direct Current Hydroelectric (HVDC) transmission line in one of the last remaining large intact relatively undisturbed boreal region left in Canada on the Eastside of Lake Winnipeg.

A 4.3 million hectare area in the region is now being proposed for UNESCO World Heritage Site designation. A HVDC line on the Eastside of Lake Winnipeg would not only have a negative impact on the proposed UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it would also have a devastating impact on the habitat of the last remaining herds of the threatened Woodland caribou in Manitoba.

Thank you for helping to protect and preserve the Eastside of Lake Winnipeg.
