The Manitoba Eco-Network would like to thank the Riverview Community Centre for inviting us to table at their Green Fair last week, as part of their Earth Day celebrations.
This was a great opportunity to speak with community members, learn about local climate actions, and practice sustainability through their clothing swap.

The Manitoba Eco-Network would like to thank Climate Change Connection for inviting us to table at FortWhyte Alive’s Earth Day event, as a part of their Youth Climate Video Challenge awards ceremony.
This was a great opportunity to speak with environmentally-conscious youth, connect with their families, and help educate Manitobans of all ages on what we can be doing to protect the environment all year-round.

🌱The Manitoba Eco-Network was proud to help out with West Broadway Community Organization’s Seed Starting Workshop as part of our ongoing Climate Safe, Green City project.
🌱Participants learned from Master Gardener, Igor Kaftan, how to successfully grow plants from seed for transplanting to outdoor gardens. Afterwards, the group worked together to plant seedlings that will be grown at WBCO's office for donation and for use in the community gardens this summer!
📜Bills, Bills, Bills…

🗳️This past month, we’ve seen a local example of cross-organizational coalitions making change within Manitoba: the City of Winnipeg Executive Policy Committee’s proposed Safe Access to Vulnerable Infrastructure By-Law was received solely as information, and did not go to a vote at the full council meeting.
