Project Description
A brochure for CPAWS on the proposed East Side World Heritage Site was sent out with the Winnipeg Free Press in October, 2012.
“The proposed area, (which lies east of Lake Winnipeg,) is called Pimachiowin Aki (pronounced ‘Pim–MATCH–cho–win Ahh–KEY’) which is Ojibwe for “the land that gives life.” Considering the Boreal region is the world’s largest source of fresh water, the northern lungs of the planet, gives clean water to Lake Winnipeg, and provides sustenance for many local First Nations, this title couldn’t be more accurate.”
