Two Feet in Wavey Creek Official Video
Many years ago, spreading across southern Manitoba there was a vast system of wetlands, marshes and bogs. Rivers, brooks and other waterways coursed through the landscape, including Wavey Creek, which wound its way through the marshland into Lake Winnipeg’s southern basin. Eventually, Europeans came and found a land that wasn’t hospitable to agriculture and settlement. So, the wetlands were drained. Wavey Creek became a ditch, carrying agricultural runoff, laden with phosphorous, into the great lake to the north. Lake Winnipeg is dying without the filtering wetlands of the past. Only a remnant remains of the great marshlands. And a remnant of beautiful Wavey Creek too. We need to preserve what we have, and restore what once was. If not now, when?

Lake Winnipeg Lyric Video
Lake Winnipeg, the 10th largest lake on the planet, is now considered to be the most threatened of the world's great lakes. Eutrophication is causing annual toxic algae blooms of 10,000 square kilometres or more. If we stay on our present course, the lake’s entire eco-system will collapse. The eutrophication process is well-known, and the steps needed to remediate the problem are also known, but we aren’t doing enough, or acting quickly enough. As we watch the lake decline, we have to get serious about restoring this sacred, beautiful lake. Millions of wild things are depending on us.
